China, EU to discuss trade disputes

China and the EU plan to discuss their recent trade disputes during ministerial talks in Beijing later this week, the two sides said Tuesday. They agreed to hold the 27th annual meeting of the China-EU economic and trade commission on Friday in Beijing, DPA quoted Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesman Shen Danyang as saying. The talks will be led by Chinese Minister of Commerce Gao Hucheng and EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht, he said. Shen said the two sides would try to resolve trade disputes including the EU's anti-dumping action against imports of Chinese solar panels during the talks.
