You will hear about the main objectives and elements of the Commission’s proposal for a revised Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) screening framework, which seeks to strengthen EU economic security by protecting strategic industry sectors from risky investments by third-country investors.

You will also hear about the positions of the Council and of the European Parliament on the proposal, where they converge and where they diverge, the state of play of the interinstitutional 'trilogue' discussions, and the next steps in the process.
