On 12 June 2025, the representatives of the EU Member States in the Committee of Permanent Representatives (Coreper) approved the Council’s negotiating mandate to revise Regulation (EU) 2019/452 (EU FDI Screening Regulation) on the screening of foreign direct investment (FDI). This clears the way for the so-called trialogue negotiations with the European Parliament and the European Commission.
