Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:44:43 GMT

BRUSSELS — The European Union’s plan to boost microchips production in the bloc got the green light on Tuesday, the Swedish Council presidency confirmed. Negotiating teams from the European Parliament, the Swedish Council presidency, and the Commission agreed on the Chips Act, a range of measures meant to bring the EU’s share of the global semiconductor value chain to 20 percent by 2030 (it currently stands at 9 percent).

The plan was pulled together in the wake of coronavirus-era shortages, but over the past year, tensions between China and Taiwan have u...
