What it does not test. This does not commit any funding or legislation, since an own-initiative resolution has no binding legal effect on the Commission or member states.

How this item counts. No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0. Non-binding EP resolution urging less US-tech reliance; no legal effect, nothing agreed. European Sovereignty Index
