Rule 144
Moritz Körner (Renew)
The Communication on the Digital Compass of 9 March 2021 and the proposed 2030 Policy Programme ‘Path to the Digital Decade’ stressed that the Union’s production of cutting-edge and sustainable semiconductors should account for at least 20 % of global production by 2030. The Commission published the proposal for the European Chips Act on 8 February 2022. The total volume of policy-driven investments in support of the EU Chips Act was estimated at over EUR 43 billion until 2030. Public funding to the tune of EUR 11 billion was earmarked for the Chips for Europe Initiative in order to attain a technological leadership position in research, design and manufacturing capacity by 2030, of which EUR 5.3 billion was to come from the Member States. In addition, Member States are expected to allocate around EUR 30 billion, including to Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEIs) and large production sites.
What is the current state of play, notably as regards the amounts and percentages mentioned above?
