The European Parliament passed two resolutions, on 25-26 November, containing support for Taiwan’s participation in the World Health Organization (WHO) and for the commencement of negotiations on a Bilateral Investment Agreement (BIA) between the EU and Taiwan.

In the first of the two resolutions - 'Foreign policy consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak', Parliament noted its regret at Taiwan’s exclusion from the WHO and called on the member states of the EU to support Taiwan’s participation as an observer in the WHO and other international organizations.

Furthermore, in the second resolution - 'EU Trade Policy Review', the parliament explicitly calls on the European Commission to start the scoping exercise and impact assessment in order to formally commence negotiations on a BIA with Taiwan, as soon as possible.
