EU Aims to Boost Domestic Industry and Cut Dependence 1

The EU has launched a new industrial strategy aimed at boosting domestic industry and reducing dependence on foreign suppliers, particularly China. The centerpiece of the plan is to have 40% of the EU’s green technology domestically produced by 2030. The strategy aims to counteract the Inflation Reduction Act passed last year by US President Joe Biden, which incentivizes investment in green technologies manufactured in North America. Critics have accused the EU of protectionism and dirigisme for hand-picking some industries over others. However, EU leaders hope the strategy will accelerate the deployment of green technologies and phase out fossil fuels by mid-century. The plan identifies eight strategic sectors for both the short and long term, including solar, wind, batteries, and power grids. The approach proposed by the EU has fueled accusations of protectionism and dirigisme, two ideologies that run counter to the free-market principles the EU has long defended.
