This move is seen as Brussels aligning with President Joe Biden&#8217;s concerns about Chinese technology advancements, and it signals a shift in \u2062EU policy.<\/p>\n<p>EU\u2063 Commission Vice President Vera Jourova emphasized the importance of technology in geopolitical competition,\u2064 stating, &#8220;The EU wants to be a player, and not a playground.&#8221; This review aims to identify and protect critical technology sectors from unreliable foreign states, \u200dalthough EU officials have been careful not to explicitly target\u2062 China.<\/p>\n<p>While tensions between the EU and\u2063 American \u2063tech companies persist, US politicians have welcomed this development. Representative Ro Khanna acknowledged the EU&#8217;s antagonistic stance towards American tech but highlighted the need for common\u2064 ground in restricting high-tech manufacturing going into China.<\/p>\n<p>The EU&#8217;s objective is \u200cto\u2063 &#8220;de-risk&#8221; its technology sector, aligning with French President Emmanuel Macron&#8217;s vision of strategic autonomy for Europe. EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton emphasized the importance of de-risking with all partners, not just China.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Technology Areas<\/h3>\n<p>The EU \u200dofficials have identified ten technology sectors\u200b as critical, including advanced semiconductor microchips, robotics, \u200band artificial intelligence. They have singled out four areas &#8211; advanced semiconductors, artificial intelligence, quantum technology, and biotechnology &#8211; as presenting the most immediate risks if they fall into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n<p>The EU recommends that\u200c member states, in collaboration with\u200d the \u2063Commission, conduct collective risk assessments of these four areas\u200c by the end of the year. This process will likely \u200dhighlight Europe&#8217;s ability to enhance its security \u200cagainst China but may also reveal its dependence on the US as a technology \u200cpartner.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bryan Clark, an analyst \u200cat the \u2063Hudson Institute, Europe may need to rely even more on the US for technology advancements, potentially impacting its desire for autonomy as it seeks to de-risk from China.<\/p>\n<p>Jourova emphasized the need to address the risks associated with dependency, citing examples such as \u200bthe COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2>What is the importance of the common foreign and security policy?<\/h2>\n<p><span>The Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) of the European Union aims \u200bto preserve peace and strengthen\u2062 international security\u200d in accordance with the principles of the\u2063 United Nations \u2063Charter. Rtance\u2063 of protecting the EU&#8217;s technology sector \u200bfrom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/foreign-adversary-systems-classified-report-from-u-s-military-shines-more-light-on-ufos\/\" title=\"\u2018Foreign Adversary Systems\u2019: Classified Report From U.S. Military Shines More Light On UFOs\">potential threats posed<\/a> by foreign\u200d entities. Jourova highlighted the need to balance\u200c economic opportunities with security concerns, stating that the\u200c review will focus on identifying potential risks and developing appropriate safeguards.<\/p>\n<p>The EU&#8217;s review is primarily aimed at assessing \u2064the impact of foreign\u2064 access to high-end emerging technology and determining whether \u200dadditional measures are required to protect\u2062 the bloc&#8217;s critical infrastructure\u200c and intellectual property.\u200b This includes conducting a thorough examination of foreign direct investments, mergers and acquisitions, and cooperation between EU and non-EU entities in key technological sectors such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and cybersecurity.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2063 move comes as the EU seeks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tonight-on-unfiltered-with-dan-bongino-is-the-left-evil\/\" title=\"Tonight on Unfiltered With Dan Bongino: Is the Left Evil?\">address growing concerns<\/a> over the vulnerabilities posed by an increasing reliance on foreign \u200ctechnologies. \u200bBoth the United States \u200dand the EU have expressed concerns about the strategies employed by certain \u200ccountries, \u200bparticularly China, to acquire foreign technologies. These\u200d concerns\u2062 include forced technology\u2064 transfers, intellectual\u2063 property theft, and market-distorting practices. The\u200d EU&#8217;s review will help identify\u2064 areas where the bloc may be susceptible to these risks and enable \u200cthe formulation of appropriate policies to safeguard its technology sector.<\/p>\n<p>This review also reflects a broader shift in EU policy, with\u200c Brussels actively aligning itself with the\u200c United States \u200cand other like-minded countries to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/public-revolts-after-japan-announces-plan-to-dump-nuclear-wastewater-into-pacific\/\" title=\"Public Outrage as Japan Plans to Dump Nuclear Wastewater in Pacific Ocean\">address shared concerns<\/a>\u2062 about foreign access to key technologies. \u2062It demonstrates a\u2062 recognition\u200d that solely relying on market forces and competition might not adequately protect European interests.

The EU has long been a\u200b proponent of free trade and globalization, recognizing \u2063that connectivity and collaboration are\u2062 key drivers of technological\u200d progress. Therefore, it is \u2063important for \u200bthe EU \u200dto \u200dcarefully \u200ddesign policies that do not hamper innovation or hinder legitimate access to foreign technologies and investments.<\/p>\n<p>The review initiated \u200bby the EU signifies a crucial step \u2064towards safeguarding Europe&#8217;s leading-edge technology sector. By recognizing the\u2063 potential risks associated with\u200c foreign access to high-end emerging technology, the EU is demonstrating its commitment \u200dto preserving the security \u200dand competitiveness of its technology industry. This review also facilitates greater transatlantic cooperation and coordination, as the EU and the United States can share valuable insights and best practices in addressing common challenges.<\/p>\n<p>As discussions on \u200dforeign access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/eu-charts-course-to-de-risk-from-china-despite-desire-for-autonomy-from-us\/\" title=\"EU seeks to reduce dependence on China while maintaining independence from the US.\">high-end \u2062emerging technology continue<\/a>, it is essential for the EU to engage in\u200b open dialogue with stakeholders and industry experts.
