EU proposes Industrial Accelerator Act with Made in Europe procurement rules

European Commission proposed the Industrial Accelerator Act, setting Made in EU procurement quotas for steel, aluminium and cement, and screening foreign investment above EUR 100 million where one country holds over 40 percent of global output.

Verified European Commission press release, 4 March 2026

What it does not test. Does not establish that the quotas or investment screening have become law, since the proposal still needs Council and Parliament agreement.

How this item counts. No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0. Only proposed; EU-wide quotas/screening need Council and Parliament to agree first. European Sovereignty Index
