投資在歐盟與中國經貿關係，扮演一項重要角色。2009年12月1日《里斯本條約》生效後，歐盟共同貿易政策已涵蓋投資，使歐盟取得投資政策與投資談判之專屬職權。歐盟於2011年成為中國第一大貿易夥伴，與中國建立全面戰略夥伴關係。歐盟因此積極推動與中國的雙邊投資協定談判，以單一聲音，提高談判地位，期待簽署一項全面性投資協定。中國乃歐盟第一個對外投資協定談判之對象，歐盟又採取高標準投資保障談判策略。歐盟與中國雙邊投資協定談判除了影響歐中經貿關係之外，也將形塑國際投資規則之發展方向，意義重大。本文將採取政策分析研究法，研析歐盟對中國洽簽雙邊投資協定之議題及立場，論證未來雙邊投資協定之內容及影響。本文範圍也包括歐盟投資政策之法律規定、對外投資的學理、歐盟與中國雙邊投資概況、歐中雙邊高層會議扮演的角色、歐盟投資政策、歐中雙邊投資談判之原因、進程、立場、範圍、意涵與影響等議題，並歸納歐中投資談判對中國的影響與對台灣的啟示。

Investment plays a key role in EU-China trade relations. Since the Lisbon Treaty came into effect on December 1, 2009, the EU’s common commercial policy has extended to investment. Accordingly, the EU has exclusive compe- tence covering investment policy and its negotiation with third countries. Not to mention, the EU has become the main trading partner of China since 2011 because it identifies China as a strategic partner, as well as a targeting country with which to negotiate a high-standard bilateral investment agreement (BIA). Due to the economic weight of both sides, the EU-China investment negotia- tion will have important impacts on both the EU-China trade relations and the development of international investment rules. From a policy analysis perspec- tive, this paper will examine the following core issues: the theory and applica- tion of foreign direct investment, the EU investment policy, the background, positions, scope and core issues, meaning and implications of the EU-China BIA negotiation, and also its impact on Taiwan, etc.
