EU institutions are set to begin negotiations in May on revising the screening process for foreign direct investment (FDI), with the legislative process expected to be completed by the end of the year, according to EU trade chief Maroš Šefčovič.
The European Commission’s proposed reform primarily aims to standardize the currently fragmented FDI screening mechanisms across member states. This regulation is a key component of the Commission’s broader economic security strategy, which seeks to strengthen Europe’s resilience in the face of rising geopolitical tensions.
“I look forward to trilogues starting in May, and I see no reason for us not to complete this work by the end of this year,” Šefčovič told trade lawmakers, referring to the negotiations between the European Parliament, the European Commission, and the Council of the EU.
