China Criticises EU Industrial Acceleration Act, Threatens Countermeasures Over WTO Concerns

China's Ministry of Commerce has formally criticised the EU's Industrial Acceleration Act, claiming it imposes restrictive requirements on foreign investment and may violate WTO principles. The Act, launched in March, sets EU-content thresholds of 70% for electric vehicles and 25% for aluminium and cement. Beijing has offered dialogue but warns of countermeasures if negotiations fail. The European Commission stands by its proposal, which aims to create jobs and reduce dependencies in strategic sectors.

French MEP Grudler Criticizes EU 'Made in Europe' Procurement Rules as 'Outdated'

French liberal MEP Christophe Grudler has criticized the EU Commission's proposed 'Made in Europe' procurement rules as 'outdated,' arguing geography should be the guiding principle for determining which countries qualify. He wants to limit the provisions to EEA countries and Switzerland, while Germany and Nordic countries prefer a broader 'like-minded' approach. China has voiced strong opposition to the measure, which aims to counter foreign competition in strategic sectors including clean tech, cars, and energy-intensive industries.
