EU body backs 'Made in Europe' industrial plan
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has voiced its support for the EU's Industrial Accelerator Act, a plan aimed at boosting 'Made in Europe' manufacturing in strategic sectors. While backing the core idea, the EESC, which represents employers, workers, and civil society, is calling for stricter environmental and social safeguards. The committee specifically urged for a greater focus on quality jobs and reskilling workers for the green and digital transitions. This opinion will feed into the ongoing legislative debate in the Parliament and Council.
EU's push for industrial self-sufficiency gets support, but with calls to protect workers.
