The European Parliament rapporteurs following the Industrial Accelerator Act proposal are significantly toughening EU investment rules regarding China. The objective is to close the European market to Chinese investment in strategic sectors where Beijing holds technological dominance.
This position of the MEPs goes beyond what had been proposed by the European Commission, representing a toughening of the initially presented measures. Negotiations are underway to reinforce the protection of sectors considered critical to European economic sovereignty.
The Industrial Accelerator Act aims to accelerate investments in strategic technologies in the EU, and the rapporteurs intend to ensure that Chinese companies cannot access European funds or invest in sensitive sectors. This approach reflects Europe's growing concerns regarding technological dependence and competition from China.
