Protectionist phenomena are growing in the EU with regulations that control and limit foreign investment in the broad sense. Many EU member states adopted regulations and the EU regulates these issues. The author examines
the EU’s fundamentals of such regulation and trends in the context of the deepening integration of the European Green Deal strategy and the ambition to develop an EU industrial policy. The author also considers member states’ ability to control and reduce intra-EU and non-EU investment.
