EU-Handelkommissar fordert neues Instrument zur Diversifizierung von Lieferketten

EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič advocates for a new diversification instrument to reduce European industry's reliance on single suppliers in critical sectors like microchips and rare earths. He references the Energy Union model and emphasizes securing three different suppliers for critical materials, citing China's export restrictions and the EU's over 90% dependency on China for rare earths as key challenges.
