BEIJING, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) — While dialogue between China and the European Union (EU) on trade defense measures continues, the EU's isolated consultations with individual Chinese enterprises risk harming mutual trust and the effectiveness of overall progress, Chinese Ministry of Commerce spokesperson He Yadong said on Thursday.

He Yadong said the two sides held a dialogue on trade protection measures earlier this week and that consultations would continue next week.

China welcomes the EU's decision to resume consultations on price commitments and commends its return to the path of resolving differences through dialogue, he said.

He Yadong emphasized that the China Chamber of Commerce for the Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products, acting on behalf of various Chinese enterprises, proposed a solution that reflects the collective position of the industry.

Several rounds of consultations have been held between China and the EU on this issue, which have produced certain results, he added.

China hopes that the EU will faithfully implement the key agreements reached during the China-EU leaders' meeting, strictly adhere to the principle of non-discrimination, and, building on previous efforts, strive to quickly resolve frictions through dialogue and consultation, He Yadong said.

He stressed that this would contribute to the creation of an open and stable market environment conducive to industrial development in both China and Europe. -0-
