flag The EU delays its Industrial Accelerator Act to March 4 due to disputes over protectionism and economic impact.

flag The European Commission has delayed the release of its Industrial Accelerator Act, a key "Made in Europe" initiative, to March 4 amid ongoing disagreements among member states over its geographic scope and economic impact. flag The policy, aimed at boosting domestic production in strategic sectors like green tech and autos, would require minimum EU-origin content for public-funded projects and promote "trusted partners" like Japan and the UK. flag While France and others support it to counter Chinese imports and strengthen industrial resilience, countries including Sweden, the Czech Republic, and Germany have raised concerns about protectionism, higher costs, and reduced competitiveness. flag The delay allows for further internal talks to refine the proposal ahead of its final unveiling.
