Parliament's resolution on China's misinterpretation of UN Resolution 2758 and military provocations around Taiwan supports Taiwan's participation in international organisations, condemns China's actions, and calls for EU measures.

Key points

  1. States that UN Resolution 2758 does not determine Taiwan's future participation in the UN or other international organisations.
  2. Supports Taiwan's participation in the WHO, UNFCCC, Interpol and ICAO, and calls on the Commission and Member States to promote it.
  3. Rejects institutionalising Beijing's stance on Taiwan in the UN; calls for transparency and for EU to push back against restrictions on Taiwanese groups.
  4. Reiterates EU commitment to 'One China' policy and supports dialogue and confidence-building across the Taiwan Strait.
  5. Underlines that Taiwan's people decide how they live and that the status quo must not be changed by force.
  6. Condemns China's military exercises, especially those from 14 October 2024, and calls for their termination; lauds Taiwanese restraint.
  7. Reminds China of its responsibility to uphold international law, including peaceful dispute resolution and freedom of navigation.
  8. Notes China's actions have consequences for EU-China relations; calls for contingency planning and stronger EU-Taiwan cooperation on security issues.
  9. Rejects economic coercion against Taiwan and EU Member States; calls on EU missions to expose malign Chinese business practices.
  10. Calls for EU to establish redlines and use sanctions against hybrid activities and cyberthreats, and to coordinate deterrence with partners.
  11. Calls on Member States to enhance economic and diplomatic presence in the Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan.
  12. Applauds freedom of navigation exercises by EU countries and calls for more cooperation; intends to send parliamentary delegations to Taiwan.
