#1 out of 1

Brussels to finally adopt ‘Made in Europe’ act after yet another rehash

The European Commission will adopt the Industrial Accelerator Act on Wednesday to back local green industry production.
The act would define a 'Made in EU' preference in green public procurement.
A six-month pause on whether friendly third countries can be included in the act’s scope.
The Act would limit inward investment for dominant players in strategic green industries.
Germany and other countries formed a group backing less regulation and more open trade.
Critics warn the bill is not ready for prime time and could be revised.
The proposal is overseen by Industry Commissioner Stéphane Séjourné and underwent many last-minute changes.
The act targets green sectors like batteries, energy storage, EVs, solar, and critical raw materials.
The Council of the EU and European lawmakers will review the text after the Commission signing.
The timeline includes late changes and ongoing negotiations before final adoption.
