European Commission Executive Vice-President Stéphane Séjourné visited a Renault factory in Slovenia on Thursday to promote the European Union's industrial acceleration bill, according to a report by Le Monde.
Séjourné argued that European public funds should be directed toward supporting European production, as the bloc seeks to strengthen its industrial base.
The visit came ahead of the Paris Motor Show, with Brussels hoping to secure an agreement among member states, particularly between France and Germany, on the question of European preference in public procurement and industrial policy.
The report did not detail specific terms of the proposed legislation or a timeline for its adoption, though it noted the visit was timed to build momentum ahead of the automotive industry gathering.
European officials have increasingly pushed for measures to bolster domestic manufacturing amid competition from foreign producers, a theme that has featured prominently in recent EU industrial policy debates.
