07:23 AM EST, 12/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The European Parliament and Council agreed to revise the European Union's foreign direct investment screening system to bolster economic security and resilience in the region. The updated framework includes mandatory investment screening mechanisms in all EU countries, expanded coverage of indirect foreign control and compulsory publication of guidance on the scope of screening processes and annual reports, the European Commission said in a Thursday release. The changes are set to take effect in the first half of 2026 following formal approval from both the parliament and council.
