In a recent episode of "Be EU," Mariana Grapini discussed the EU's industrial competitiveness and the proposed "Industrial Accelerator" regulation aimed at boosting the manufacturing sector. The EU faces challenges with higher production costs compared to international competitors, particularly in electricity prices. The regulation seeks to increase the manufacturing share of the economy from 14.3% to 20% by 2035, addressing job losses in key sectors like automotive. It also includes measures for foreign investments, requiring member states to establish authorities to assess these investments. Additionally, the "Made in Europe" principle will set requirements for the origin of components in investments, with ongoing negotiations about the percentage of European-sourced materials.
