在歐韓自由貿易協定生效後，最令人翹首以待的焦點自是擺在歐盟是否會急著跟亞洲最大貿易夥伴中國洽簽雙邊自由貿易協定之上。既然歐中雙方貿易量大且互補性強，充分開放的話，雙方應能各取所需。儘管雙邊自由貿易協定益處不可勝數，不過，就實際的歐中政治和經貿關係而言，終究有其侷限。倘若歐中雙邊的自由貿易協定並非兩方的主要考量，那歐中進一步加強經貿關係的著眼點應為何？歐盟新的經貿策略面目為何？歐盟與中國於2007年，雙方同意就1985年的中歐貿易暨經濟合作協定進行修改與更新，並同意重新簽署一份全方位的夥伴關係與合作協定。然則四年時光飛逝，裡面依然有很多問題需要重新談判。到底是何障礙阻撓了協定談判的進行？里斯本條約生效後，是否會影響歐中經貿協定的談判？本文針對「經貿關係」、「政治對話」與「合作計畫」等歐中夥伴關係三大的支柱詳述歐中雙邊經貿關係的障礙與其雙方的立場，最後再輔以結論討論歐中經貿合作的機會與障礙及其前景展望。
