| (35) To ensure a consistent approach to the screening of investments across the Union, it is essential that the standards and criteria used to assess likely risks to security and public order are those set at Union level in this Regulation. Those should include the impact on the security, integrity and functioning of critical infrastructure, the availability of critical technologies (including key enabling technologies) and the continued supply of critical inputs for security or public order, the disruption, failure, loss or destruction of which would have a significant impact on security and public order in one or more Member States or on the Union as a whole. In that regard, Member States and the Commission should also take into account the context and circumstances of the foreign investment. This should include, in particular, whether an investor is controlled directly or indirectly, for example through significant funding, by the government of a third country or is involved in pursuing policy objectives of third countries to facilitate their military capabilities. In this context, if applicable, Member States and the Commission should also consider why the foreign investor, its beneficial owner or any of its subsidiaries or a person acting on behalf or at the direction of such a foreign investor is subject to any type of Union restrictive measures pursuant to Article 215 TFEU. | (35) The screening to be carried out by the Member States should take account of criteria such as: the impact on the security, integrity and functioning of critical infrastructure; the availability of critical technologies (including key enabling technologies) and the continued supply of critical inputs for security or public order, the disruption, failure, loss or destruction of which would have a significant impact on security and public order in one or more Member States or on the Union as a whole; the social impact with regard to labour market disruption, job losses or deterioration of working conditions in the Member States in question or another Member State as a result of the foreign investment; the environmental risks in the Member States in question or in another Member State owing to the foreign investment; the safeguarding of the public interest in the production of goods and provision of essential services, the public interest in the production of commodities and the provision of essential services, public control in strategically important sectors, such as energy, telecommunications, banking or insurance, and in essential public services, such as health, education or social security systems; consumer protection. In that regard, Member States and the Commission should also take into account the context and circumstances of the foreign investment. This should include, in particular, whether an investor is controlled directly or indirectly, for example through significant funding, by the government of a third country or is involved in pursuing policy objectives of third countries to facilitate their military capabilities. In this context, if applicable, Member States and the Commission should also consider why the foreign investor, its beneficial owner or any of its subsidiaries or a person acting on behalf or at the direction of such a foreign investor is subject to any type of Union restrictive measures pursuant to Article 215 TFEU. |
