Notes that this crisis has demonstrated the need for the EU to adjust its industrial strategy by strengthening the defence of its strategic interests without abandoning international trade; it should also amend its provisions, going beyond the opportunities provided, in particular, by the Regulation on screening of foreign direct investments, making the acquisition of EU companies by foreign investors the exception and no longer the rule;
