EU Parliament Trade Delegation Heading to China in October 2026

European Parliament trade committee members will visit China from October 27 to 29, 2026.

The delegation will travel to Beijing, Hangzhou, and Shanghai.

Bernd Lange will lead the team of European lawmakers.

This trip is the fourth parliament delegation to visit China in 2026.

The main focus is addressing the rising trade gap between both sides.

The EU currently faces a trade deficit of one billion euros a day with China.

Lawmakers want to discuss market access and critical raw materials.

They will also address green technology cooperation and cheap imports entering the EU.

The visit comes right after talks on hybrid car import agreements.

In Hangzhou, delegates will visit tech companies Unitree and BrainCo.

They will also meet officials from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce.

Meetings are also planned with the EU Chamber of Commerce, IMF, and World Bank.

Swedish lawmaker Jörgen Warborn is among the participating European representatives.

For residents in Copenhagen, these talks shape broader EU-China economic relations.

Changes in trade policy can impact cross-border businesses, supply chains, and local jobs.
