(25) Furthermore, it should be possible for the Commission to adopt an opinion addressed to all Member States if it identifies several foreign investments that, taken together, are likely to impact the security or public order of the Union. This could notably be the case where several foreign investments present comparable characteristics. These include where the foreign investments are made by the same foreign investor, or foreign investors presenting similar risks, or where several foreign investments concern the same target or the same infrastructure, including trans-European infrastructure for transport, energy and communication, which are vital for the proper functioning of European economies and societies and for ensuring European strategic autonomy. Member States and the Commission should discuss the risk analysis and the possible ways to address the risks identified in the opinion.

(35) To ensure a consistent approach to the screening of investments across the Union, it is essential that the standards and criteria used to assess likely risks to security and public order are those set at Union level in this Regulation. Those should include the impact on the security, integrity, and functioning and resilience of critical infrastructure and of the internal market, the availability of critical technologies (including key enabling technologies) and the continued supply of critical inputs for security or public order, the disruption, failure, loss or destruction of which would have a significant impact on security and public order in one or more Member States or on the Union as a whole, and the capacity to address strategic dependencies. In that regard, Member States and the Commission should also take into account the context and circumstances of the foreign investment. . This should include, in particular, whether an investor is controlled directly or indirectly, for example through significant funding, by the government of a third country or is involved in pursuing policy objectives of third countries to facilitate their military capabilities. In this context, if applicable, Member States and the Commission should also consider why the foreign investor, its beneficial owner or any of its subsidiaries or a person acting on behalf or at the direction of such a foreign investor is subject to any type of Union restrictive measures pursuant to Article 215 TFEU.
