The big picture with MEP Sakis Arnaoutoglou

Here, Sakis Arnoutoglou MEP discusses the complex geopolitical and economic landscape between the European Union and China with EPHI's Adam Schlüssler,

EU-China relations: navigating dependencies and the Green Deal

As a member of both Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety (ENVI) and Delegation for relations with the People's Republic of China (D-CN) Arnoutoglou provides a unique perspective on how the EU can balance its climate goals with the need for economic sovereignty.

The call analyzes:

  • The current state of EU-China relations and the shift towards a more realistic policy.
  • Why the EU's dependence on China for critical raw materials, solar panels and battery technology is a strategic risk.
  • Whether the European Green Deal can succeed without deepening dependence on Chinese manufacturing - or whether it is time to move towards a freer market economy instead.
  • What steps the EU needs to take to strengthen its own industrial base and diversify its supply chains.
