Q: Recently, the 25 EU member states formally signed the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe. What comment does the Chinese side have?

A: We have noticed that the 25 EU members had formally signed the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe, which sets up a new milestone in the process of the EU integration and has great significance for its future development. China has always been supporting the process of the EU integration. We are willing to see the EU make greater achievements in its political integration and continue to play a positive and constructive role in European and International affairs. We are convinced that a European Union, which strives for its own prosperity through integration, will provide fresh opportunities for deepening China-EU relations.
