Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Given the globalised nature of the semiconductor supply chain, international cooperation with third countries is an important element to achieve a resilience of the Union’s semiconductor ecosystem. Trade and partnership agreements with third countries must remain a priority element of the Union’s strategy to address chip shortages. Such agreements are instrumental to bolstering the resilience of global supply chains and must be reached preferentially with like-minded third countries that have advantages in the semiconductor industry, to meet the growing demand for semiconductors. The actions taken under this Regulation should also enable the Union to play a stronger role, as a centre of excellence, in a better functioning global, interdependent semiconductors ecosystem. The Commission, assisted by the European Semiconductor Board, should cooperate and build partnerships with third countries with a view to seeking solutions to address, to the extent possible, disruptions of the semiconductor supply chain.
