The article discusses a new European Commission initiative aimed at promoting local production in key industries to prevent foreign companies from benefiting from EU public contracts.
The article examines the recent proposal outlined by the Polish government in the context of the EU's industrial acceleration act (IAA). This initiative advocates for products in critical sectors, such as automotive and renewable energy, to be produced locally in Europe. It seeks to ensure that public contracts within the EU primarily benefit local manufacturers, minimizing the involvement of foreign producers, particularly from countries like China. By implementing this strategy, the EU aims to create a more resilient and self-sufficient industrial landscape.
