BRUSSELS, Dec 2 (Reuters) - China will take steps to improve European access to Chinese public procurement, the Chinese ambassador to the European Union said on Thursday.
"Premier Wen (Jiabao) has promised we will make steady steps to make improvements in these areas and for foreign businesses to grow in China. We will fulfil what we have promised," Ambassador Song Zhe told the trade committee of the European Parliament, in answer to a question about public tenders.
He said China would address European concerns about a lack of access to such tenders, which include such areas as infrastructure and other public works.
