Summary/Abstract: Faced with the pandemic-provoked economic crisis and spurred on by initiatives from several EU Member States and the European Parliament, the European Commission wants to strengthen and modernise European industry while making it more sustainable and greener. However, individual states remain divided about the optimal balance between self-sufficiency and economic openness, as well as the pace of the green transition. Moreover, the quest for industrial autonomy and the promotion of more sustainable and fairer world trade are likely to complicate the already tense relations with the Union’s major economic partners.
