Bilateral Investment Agreement with Taiwan: Why should the Czech Republic say yes and support it at the EU level?
Vilém Semerák, Alice Rezková |
For many years, the European Commission has hesitated to explore the possibilities of a bilateral investment agreement with Taiwan. Even though Taiwan is one of the most competitive economies in the world, the EU has closed trade deals with almost everyone in the region except Taiwan. As free-trade agreements with South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Vietnam are being completed, there is still no specific timeframe regarding the launch of negotiations or even an impact assessment for Taiwan.
