Conditioning public support and foreign investment in the EU automotive sector to local content or technology uptake: legal framework and strategic toolbox

Publication by Institut Mobilités en Transition - IDDRI based on a legal analysis by Baldon Avocats

This Institut Mobilités en Transition (IMT-IDDRI) publication is the latest in a series devoted to the challenges and instruments of a transition-oriented industrial policy to be implemented in order to support the most fragile or strategic segments of the European automotive sector. It comes at a time when the Industry Acceleration Act (IAA) is undergoing its final rounds of arbitration.

Based on a legal analysis by Baldon Avocats, the publication sets out recommendations based on a legal analysis as to how the EU and its Member States can condition (i) inbound foreign direct investments (“FDIs”) in the automotive sector, as well as (ii) the granting of European public support measures, to criteria that foster value creation within the EU, technology uptake, and environmental sustainability.
