The European Parliament adopted by 486 votes to 109, with 102 abstentions, a resolution on a new industrial strategy for Europe.
Members stressed that the European Union needs a new industrial strategy in line with the objective of climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest, with a view to supporting the dual ecological and digital transition while maintaining and creating quality jobs.
The strategy should create the conditions for long-term growth, mobilise adequate financial resources, including stimulus measures, make the European Green Deal a reality, strengthen Europe's global leadership and reduce the EU's dependence on other parts of the world in strategic value chains by avoiding the relocation of European industries while preserving an open market.
This updated strategy should take into account two main and interlinked phases: one aimed at consolidating jobs, reactivating production and adapting it to a post-COVID ‘new normal’, and a second on rebuilding and transforming European industry, pursuing the objectives of the double transition and strengthening the EU's sovereignty and strategic autonomy.
Recovery phase
Members consider the Next Generation EU initiative as the cornerstone of the first phase of the Union's industrial recovery from COVID-19. They called on the Commission to ensure the swift implementation of the fund and called for Parliament to be fully involved in the decision-making and implementation process.
For an efficient concentration of the EUR 750 billion at the beginning of the period, Next Generation EU should:
- include targets for social, sustainable and digital investments;
- particularly target SMEs, which have been hardest hit by the COVID-19 crisis, and support their access to finance;
- take into account the specificities of Member States, which have been affected by the crisis in different ways;
- distribute financial aid among the different industrial ecosystems, ensuring that it supports businesses that contribute to long-term growth and have a high potential for economic recovery;
- support national fiscal schemes that encourage private sector participation and allow companies to convert part of their loans into equity;
- give preference to companies that commit to transparency, ensure visibility of EU funding, and put in place systems that encourage worker participation in company matters.
Parliament welcomed the measures taken by the EU to help Member States finance short-time working arrangements and maintain employment during the COVID crisis. However, Members stressed that state aid should only be granted to companies facing the immediate effects of the pandemic and that the loosening of state aid rules should be time-limited.
The productive ecosystems dealt the harshest blows by the pandemic, such as the tourism and aviation industries, should be granted greater, non-repayable support and benefit longer from the special State aid scheme.
The commission is called upon to support European and national programmes encouraging the increase of equity capital in companies and to facilitate recovery.
Reconstruction and transformation phase
Members believe it is necessary to maintain the Recovery Fund as a Reconstruction and Transformation Fund to support the environmental and digital transition while strengthening the long-term competitiveness and resilience of society and the economy. The new strategy must be able to rely on a strong social pillar and address the social consequences of structural change in a timely manner. The Just Transition Fund would be a major tool to facilitate this dual transition.
Members stressed the need to prioritise investment in industrial sectors that are vital to the EU's strategic autonomy, such as security, defence, climate-related technologies, food sovereignty and health. They reaffirmed in particular the importance of the pharmaceutical industry in supporting the responsiveness and preparedness of health systems to face future challenges, including pandemics.
The Commission is invited to stimulate domestic demand and long-term growth in the Union by attracting more investment, both public and private, in research and innovation, in the development of new sustainable and digital technologies, including in labour-intensive industries, in new networks and infrastructure projects compatible with the objectives of the European Green Deal, in energy and resource efficiency and in the circular economy.
Stressing the key role of the digital sector in transforming industry, Members called on the Commission to establish a single European digital and data environment.
The Commission is also invited to: (i) adopt a clear approach to market definition in competition cases in different industrial sectors, (ii) review EU antitrust rules, (iii) regularly assess the competitiveness of different sectors of EU industry compared to its main global competitors, and (iv) act swiftly if adjustments to EU rules are needed.
International context
Members called for the recovery plan to include concrete measures to attract industries to Europe, to increase the relocation and diversification of European industries with regard to their strategic importance and, from a climate-neutral perspective, to shorten and diversify supply chains.
Recognising that the COVID-19 crisis risks leading to a rise in economic nationalism and protectionism, Members called on the Commission to:
- defend an open and rules-based multilateral trading system that: (i) is consistent with global efforts to curb climate change and biodiversity loss and with the EU's high environmental and social standards, (ii) improves the access of European businesses to international markets and (iii) prevents powerful international players from abusing their market power;
- immediately propose a temporary ban on foreign takeovers of European companies in strategic sectors by state-owned or companies linked to third-country governments;
- reflect on reciprocity in market access and strengthen the framework for the screening of EU foreign direct investment (FDI).
The Commission is called upon to maintain and develop a world-class European intellectual property system by promoting incentive and reward mechanisms in the research and development sector in order to attract investment for the development of future innovation for the benefit of society.
The Committee on Industry, Research and Energy adopted an own-initiative report by Carlo CALENDA (S&D, IT) on a new industrial strategy for Europe.
The report stresses that the European Union needs a new industrial strategy in line with the objective of climate neutrality by 2050 at the latest, with a view to supporting the dual ecological and digital transition while maintaining and creating quality jobs. The strategy should also strengthen Europe's global leadership and reduce the Union's dependence on other parts of the world in strategic value chains by avoiding the relocation of European industries while preserving an open market.

In line with the zero pollution ambition for a toxic-free environment and in the framework of the industrial strategy, calls on the Commission and the Member States to put in place policies and programmes to ensure the safety and security of industrial sites with clear liability rules for health and environmental damages, to establish rules and programmes covering the soils that were polluted by industrial activities before the adoption of the Directive 2004/35/CE and to promote the reconversion of highly polluting industrial installations;

Amendment 70 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 a (new) 9a. Reiterates the importance of democratic, transparent and accountable decision-making processes in order to develop and implement an EU industrial strategy beneficial for all citizens and social and economic actors; calls once again for the set-up of binding rules on lobby transparency in all the EU institutions, including restrictions on access for fossil fuel lobbies, and for the swift adoption of the proposal for a mandatory EU Transparency Register; reiterates its call for the establishment of an independent and interinstitutional EU ethics body to oversee conflicts of interest;
Amendment 71 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 a (new) 9a. Stresses that artificial intelligence (AI) has a key role to play in the European economic recovery that is urgently needed after the COVID-19 pandemic; calls on the Commission, therefore, to avoid excessive regulation and to reduce the administrative burden when creating a legal framework for AI, in order to avoid slowing the pace of innovation and the economic growth of European businesses;
Amendment 72 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 a (new) 9a. Stresses that the European Commission should continue to play a leading role in global industrial policy in the future and should therefore pursue an ambitious policy that incentivises innovation, in particular in the area of digitisation and future technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing;
Amendment 73 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 a (new) 9a. Points out that the European Union has the scientific and economic potential to play a leading role in the global technological race, particularly in areas such as artificial intelligence, technologies based on big data, and systems based on machine learning;
Amendment 74 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 b (new) 9b. Stresses that a small number of digital service providers enjoy a dominant position within the EU and, by skilfully shifting their profits, these providers in particular are paying relatively little tax; calls on the Member States, therefore, in the absence of the preferred international solution at OECD level, to provide for a European digital tax for the digital economy to ensure fair competition within the Digital Single Market;
Amendment 75 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 b (new) 9b. Points out that the digitisation of public administration could contribute to a significant reduction in bureaucracy for citizens and businesses; calls on the Member States, therefore, to take steps to structure their legal frameworks in such a way that the potential of such digitisation can be fully exploited;
Amendment 76 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 b (new) 9b. Emphasises that new digital technologies, such as the internet of things, are changing the face of industry, and that the ongoing technological revolution can play an essential role in building a modern and energy-efficient European economy;
Amendment 77 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 c (new) 9c. Notes that small and medium-sized enterprises play an important role in the European industrial transformation, particularly those working in the domain of new technologies; emphasises the need for continuous support for this type of enterprise through adequate financial support and the provision of preferential competitive conditions on the digital market, where large, multinational enterprises from outside the European Union continue to dominate; points out that the proposed provisions on copyright, access to data and innovation should take into account this disparity in the potential of companies with such radically different market positions;
Amendment 78 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 c (new) 9c. Points out that, according to the Commission’s Report on the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights in third countries of January 2020, intellectual property theft, in particular by China and India, is causing significant harm to European businesses; calls on the European Union and its Member States, therefore, to adopt a coordinated, efficient and effective approach in the fight against intellectual property crime;
Amendment 79 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 c (new) 9c. Points out that a number of sectors, such as the steel and automotive industries, have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and, therefore, that the industrial strategy should include special measures, such as the postponement of measures already adopted that are placing an additional burden on these sectors;
Amendment 8 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Notes that the COVID-19 crisis has had a profound impact on global production and inter-state relationships globally, and has prompted the European Union to consider its future industrial strategy, in terms of its development and expansion, and in adapting to the current context;
Amendment 80 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 d (new) 9d. Calls on the Commission in particular to adopt the announced Intellectual Property Action Plan quickly, as this could be a crucial tool in safeguarding European technological sovereignty, promoting fair global competition, improving the fight against intellectual property theft, and adapting the legal framework for intellectual property to environmental and digital challenges and opportunities;
Amendment 81 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 d (new) 9d. Calls on the Commission to publish the Intellectual Property Action Plan as soon as possible, to incorporate measures to promote the single European patent and to propose measures to prevent the abuse of patent rights by non- practising entities, with a view to creating an efficient and well-balanced patent system in the service of a competitive and fair European internal market;
Amendment 82 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 d (new) 9d. Calls for the strategy to take into account the specific needs of less technologically advanced industrial regions, which depend heavily on solid fossil fuels and which are most affected by the energy transition; stresses the need to consider the risk of job losses caused by the industrial transformation, and the need to ensure workers have the appropriate level of qualifications and digital competence;
Amendment 83 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 9 e (new) 9e. Points out that business insolvencies often trigger a number of knock-on insolvencies and therefore welcomes the European Commission’s proposal for a temporary Solvency Support Instrument; also calls on the European Commission and Member States to consider suitable further measures and legislative initiatives to prevent businesses from becoming insolvent through no fault of their own;
Amendment 9 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 a (new) 1a. Calls on the Commission and the Member States to maximise the potential of the Just Transition Fund to promote investments in new sustainable employment opportunities and to implement horizontal educational, training and vocational policies and programmes aimed at supporting the upskilling and reskilling of workers, job seekers and persons outside the labour market, while ensuring equal access to all without discrimination; reminds that the industrial strategy will need to protect the rights of platform workers and be fully consistent with the Union’s fundamental rights;
