The investigation &#8211; which Beijing swiftly criticised &#8211; aims to determine if European suppliers of devices ranging from needles and orthopaedic appliances to complex scanners have been given fair access in China.<\/p>\n<p>If it concludes that they have not, it could lead to the bloc placing restrictions on Chinese medical device companies bidding in EU public tenders, from giving a lower score for bidding Chinese companies to full exclusion. The probe is the first under the EU International Procurement Instrument (IPI), which aims to ensure reciprocity in access to international public procurement markets, following complaints from European companies and governments over access to the<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The International Procurement Instrument is a powerful new mechanism to support our European companies in markets that are less open than ours,&#8221; Commission Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis said. He added that discussions with China on medical devices so far had been &#8220;fruitless&#8221; but he hoped that launching the probe would lead to &#8220;mutually agreeable solutions&#8221;.<br \/>\nWith the EU flexing its trade muscles, this investigation follows the launch in October of a major probe into cheaper Chinese electric vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>And it comes just a day after a Chinese security equipment company was raided by the European Commission at its Dutch and Polish offices. The EU is also looking at subsidies received by Chinese suppliers of wind turbines and solar power destined for Europe. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz lobbied for better market access for German firms in China in talks with Xi this month. Trade will also be high on the agenda when Xi meets French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris in May, sources say. It will be Xi&#8217;s first Europe trip in five years.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/eu-opens-investigation-into-chinese-medical-device-market-2024-04-24\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/eu-opens-investigation-into-chinese-medical-device-market-2024-04-24\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/eu-investigates-fair-access-to-chinas-medical-device-market\/\">EU investigates fair access to China\u2019s medical device market<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[758,555,274,14291],"class_list":["post-129997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-china","tag-csr-news-en","tag-eu","tag-medical-device-market"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129997\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
