Welcome to the Brussels Edition, Bloomberg's daily briefing on what matters most in the heart of the European Union. We're keen to hear your views on this newsletter. Please participate in our short survey. Expectations were low going into the EU's summit with China in Beijing given that the two-day affair had already been curtailed.

The two sides did agree on a mechanism to identify supply chain bottlenecks, committed to work on solutions on public procurement and endorsed a joint statement on climate — in one bright spot of unity. Editor's Note: Tomorrow's edition will be the last Brussels Edition before the summer break. We'll be back in your inbox on September 1st.
