The European Commission (Commission) on 4 March 2026 published its proposal for a Regulation establishing a framework of measures for the acceleration of industrial capacity and decarbonisation in strategic sectors, the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) (see proposal and annexes; see also the accompanying press release, Q&A and factsheet). The proposal has been delayed several times since it was originally scheduled for December 2025, reflecting internal disagreements within the Commission, particularly over the proposed "Made in Europe" sourcing rules. This Commission proposal will now need to pass through the legislative process with the Council and the Parliament, where it will certainly be further modified.

The new framework, set to enter force in December 2027, aims to balance facilitating legitimate defense trade with maintaining effective export controls, while aligning more closely with European regulations and reducing administrative burdens for companies.

The Belgian Council of State has issued a landmark ruling on the Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR), clarifying the obligations of both contracting authorities and bidders in public procurement procedures exceeding €250 million.
