According to the state's "Introduction" and "go global" strategy, Dalian foreign trade Consolidating and developing Asian traditions such as Japan and Korea. market At the same time, we also turn our attention to Europe and other markets to improve the coverage rate of the international market. In November 23rd, Dalian's foreign trade Economics The strategic planning seminar for Chinese enterprises to enter the European market jointly sponsored by the Cooperation Bureau and Holland foreign investment bureau is intended to sweep away the policy barriers for local enterprises to enter the European market.

At present, the world economy has many uncertainties and instability factors, but the trend of economic globalization is irreversible. The momentum of new cross-border investment, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, technological cooperation and industrial transfer is rising, with great expectations from foreign countries, and the opportunities for foreign investment outweigh the challenges. After more than 30 years of reform and opening up, Dalian has greatly improved its enterprise level, management capabilities and technological advantages, and has the conditions to go abroad. According to the statistics of Dalian foreign trade and Economic Cooperation Bureau, Dalian has approved 392 overseas projects, and the Chinese side has invested 1 billion 520 million US dollars. By the end of 10 this year, 59 overseas projects were approved, with an investment of US $620 million.

But on the whole, Dalian There is still a clear gap in foreign direct investment. Dalian enterprises have invested 35 projects in Europe this year. The Chinese side has invested 186 million US dollars, invested 4 projects in Holland and invested about 700000 US dollars, while Holland has invested 57 projects in Dalian with a contract value of 570 million US dollars. From these figures, it is easy to see that Dalian's foreign direct investment is still at a relatively low level in general, and it is not compatible with the overall image of the city, especially the lack of overseas M & A capabilities and experience.

How to realize the growth of the EU market? Mr. Ji Wei De, chief representative of China Affairs of Holland Foreign Investment Bureau, believes that when Chinese enterprises enter the EU market, they must grasp the local tax and legal structure and understand the specific needs of brand management and logistics. He said that Holland and Dalian had very close economic and trade contacts with a trade volume of US $856 million. Holland has many similarities with Dalian. Holland is located in the world's most concentrated "blue bananas" in population, finance and industry. It is an important gateway to enter the European market. Dalian is located in the strategic junctions of the Northeast Asian economic circle and the Bohai rim economic circle. It is an important window for China to open to the outside world. It has been in the forefront of foreign trade for a hundred years, and has great potential for cooperation.

Zhang Xiaopeng, deputy director of the Dalian Municipal Bureau of foreign trade and economic cooperation, said that Dalian had already thrown a knock on the door to the European market. Not long ago, Cao Aihua, a member of the Standing Committee of the Dalian Municipal Committee and vice mayor, also led a group to Europe for investment. The combination of continuous strategic research and field visits has made Dalian's strategy of entering Europe mature. At this seminar, Dalian organized more than 50 heads of 35 enterprises with overseas development strength to participate in research and exchange, so that people in the business community will have a better understanding of Holland's understanding of the European market. He said that the Dalian municipal government will actively encourage enterprises to deepen exchanges and cooperation with Holland in various fields, and promote more Dalian enterprises to enter the European market.
