The EU has threatened “decisive action” against China after finding it has been discriminating against medical device manufacturers in bids for public contracts.

The finding follows a months-long investigation under new EU legislation seeking to prise open overseas procurement markets.

EU manufacturers say Chinese policies force hospitals to choose domestic suppliers. 

Maroš Šefčovič, EU trade commissioner, said he was seeking talks with Beijing over the issue. 

“While we continue to prioritise dialogue as a first step to finding solutions, we stand ready to take decisive action to defend the level playing field, and support fair competition, he said.
