EU IMPOSING RULES TO PROHIBIT FOREIGN INVESTMENTS UNDER SECURITY MEASURES
Things worse then I though: if any EU member states finds that your planned foreign #investment project is likely to have a negative effect on #security or public order, it will either have to authorise the project subject to mitigating measures, or prohibit it...
More #compliance, less funding for new technologies is coming...
Today the European Parliament's International #Trade Committee adopted revised rules for screening foreign investments in the #EU.
Under the new rules, more sectors, such as media services, critical raw materials and transport infrastructure, will be subject to mandatory screening by Member States, in order to identify and address foreign investment-related security or public order risks. The procedures applicable to national screening mechanisms will also be harmonised and the Commission will have the power to intervene on its own initiative or where there are disagreements between Member States about potential security or public order risks emanating from a specific foreign investment.
