Industry is a critical sector in Europe, accounting for more than 32 million jobs. It is also an enabler of the economic recovery, powering the green and digital transitions across the Single Market. To improve the region’s global competitiveness, the EU’s industrial strategy should focus on digitalising European industry, creating the right environment for a clean future, accelerating the EU circular economy and reinforcing the rules-based trading system. Join the conversation this week at the EU Industry Days, which will focus on the role of youth in shaping the future of industry. Read more about our priorities here.

Simplifying the Foreign Subsidies Regulation
With the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) under review, now is the moment to ensure it delivers on its objectives without creating unnecessary complexity. The FSR plays an important role in addressing distortive foreign subsidies. However, its broad scope and resource-intensive procedures risk undermining its effectiveness.
The current framework creates significant burdens for investors and contracting authorities managing public procurement processes. Changes to the Implementing Regulation alone would only provide limited value. Simplification will require targeted amendments to the primary legislation.
Read more about proposed amendments that would help refocus the FSR on high-risk cases and support the EU’s competitiveness goals.

FSR compliance: complexity undermining competitiveness
The EU proposed the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR) in 2021 to address foreign subsidies distorting the Single Market. Operating as a screening instrument behind merger control, it requires companies to notify the European Commission of foreign financial contributions (FFCs) they may receive when participating in public procurement or mergers and acquisitions activity. Preventing FFCs from distorting the Single Market is an important goal – and one that must be achieved without creating its own disruptions.
