Minister for Energy, Business and Industry @BuschEbba attended the EU Competitiveness Council in Brussels today, where ministers discussed a range of issues aimed at strengthening Europe’s competitiveness and economic resilience.
The topics on the agenda included the proposed EU Chips Act 2.0, which seeks to boost Europe’s semiconductor industry, reduce external dependencies, and increase domestic chip production. Ministers also discussed the ongoing review of the EU’s merger control guidelines and the role of economic security in EU competitiveness policy.
