Abstract: In 2009 the Treaty of Lisbon expanded the competences of the EU creating a Common Investment Policy. China has been defined by the European Commission as a perfect candidate for a future bilateral investment agreement. This research would like to investigate the impact of changing EU-China investment relationship on European firms' behaviour. After an abstract of theoretical contribution on BIT effects, a model of motivations of European inward investments in China will be analysed, based on data from the Italian direct investments in the Guangdong region, examining whether an EU-China agreement could help European investors to tackle their growing needs.

Dopo un esame dei contributi teorici sugli effetti dei BIT, sara' analizzato un modello delle motivazioni degli IDE Europei in Cina, sulla base dei dati derivanti dagli IDE italiani nella regione del Guangdong, esaminando qualora un accordo UE-Cina possa aiutare gli investitori Europei ad affrontare le loro crescenti esigenze.]
