Spain proposes to dilute the Made in Europe plan to make room for China in the industry
El país establece criterios más flexibles para la participación de terceros países en sectores críticos para la economía europea. Leer
The Spanish government has adopted a flexible stance on the European Commission's proposed Industrial Acceleration Law (IAA), which aims to reindustrialize the EU through restrictions on third-country participation in critical sectors. Spain's Industry Minister, Jordi Hereu, stated that while the country supports reinforcing the European production space, it also takes a pragmatic view that allows for collaboration with other regions and countries.
The Spanish proposal suggests a three-tier system for third-country participation, which would allow countries like China to participate in certain sectors, particularly those where the EU lacks key resources or components. This approach differs from the Commission's proposal, which requires total reciprocity from third countries.
