Frankfurt/Brussels, 24 January 2024 – The EU Commission's economic security package contains key proposals on foreign direct investment in the EU and European investments abroad. Ulrich Ackermann, Head of VDMA Foreign Trade, comments:
• "European investments abroad do not jeopardize public security and order in the EU. Insofar as they are linked to technology transfer, the EU's security interests are already protected by export controls for sensitive technology."
