InvestEU Fund strategic investments in the field of defence

The Commission delegated regulation of 28 August 2025 broadens the definition of eligible strategic investments under the InvestEU Fund to include more defence technologies and products for military use, and extends eligibility to entities in associated countries or controlled by non-associated countries under certain conditions. Parliament rejected the objection, so the Commission measure goes ahead and the expanded defence investment rules will apply. Parliament had asked the Commission to refrain from using delegated acts to change InvestEU's scope and to submit any further changes as a legislative proposal under the ordinary legislative procedure.

Tackling China’s critical raw materials export restrictions

Parliament adopted a resolution on tackling China's export restrictions on rare earth elements and permanent magnets, which it sees as coercive and a serious escalation of trade tensions.
