A major trade promoter in Europe has vowed to increase assistance to Chinese suppliers in a bid to help them improve their compliance and better tap into global and domestic markets.

Jan Eggert, director-general of the Brussels-based European Foreign Trade Association, announced a plan to triple the organization’s resources in China in 2014 in order to offer more training to Chinese businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.

“The move aims to expand their capability to catch up with the global market and better tap into future opportunities,” Eggert said in Shanghai on Monday.
