The resolution condemns China's misinterpretation of UN Resolution 2758 and its military provocations around Taiwan, reaffirming support for Taiwan's participation in international organizations and the status quo in the Taiwan Strait. It calls for the EU and member states to support Taiwan's meaningful participation in international bodies, to respond decisively to any unilateral change of status quo, and to deepen EU-Taiwan cooperation on investment and countering disinformation.

Key points

  1. Condemns China's distortion of UN Resolution 2758 and its military exercises, including the 14 October drill and ICBM launch.
  2. Reiterates commitment to the EU's 'One China' policy, which differs from China's 'One China' principle.
  3. Stresses that Resolution 2758 does not prevent Taiwan's participation in international organizations.
  4. Calls for EU support for Taiwan's participation in organizations like WHO, ICAO, Interpol, and UNFCCC.
  5. Calls for a decisive reaction to any attempt to change the status quo in the Taiwan Strait by force.
  6. Urges China to cease intrusions into Taiwan's ADIZ and airspace violations, and to respect the median line.
  7. Recalls Taiwan's assistance during COVID-19 and Ukraine crises.
  8. Calls for renaming the European Economic and Trade Office to 'European Union Office in Taiwan'.
  9. Calls for an impact assessment on a bilateral investment agreement with Taiwan.
  10. Recommends deeper cooperation on countering disinformation and posting a liaison officer.
