French President Jacques Chirac, whose country holds the European Union's rotating presidency, speaks at the EU-China summit in Beijing October 23, 2000. China and the EU began a one-day summit on Monday with fears China's entry into the World Trade Organisation could be delayed into next year at the top of the agenda. Top EU leaders gathered in Beijing have said the remaining barriers to China's WTO entry are few, but its accession might be delayed until next year.
