Trying to ratify the deal"will depend really on how broader EU-China relations will evolve", he added. The pact has been defended as a much needed opening to China's long-closed economy for European companies, but was sure to face a difficult ratification amongst the 27 member states as well as the European Parliament.Dombrovskis, a former Latvian prime minister, is in charge of spearheading that approval process in the EU, which has already met with pushback from key MEPs.
A rewarding negotiation always involves a good cop and a bad cop.
