to the Commission

Rule 142

Borys Budka on behalf of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy

Subject: US AI chip export restrictions: a challenge to European AI development and economic resilience

The recent US decision to impose export restrictions on advanced AI chips and AI model weights poses a significant challenge for the functioning of the EU’s single market, economic resilience and technological sovereignty. Categorising EU Member States into different tiers undermines the principles of the EU’s common commercial policy and jeopardises the EU’s common approach to AI development and industrial capacity building. Consequently:

1.What is the impact of these measures on the implementation of the Chips Act, specifically for the third pillar (monitoring and crisis response), and on the AI factories initiative? What adaptation measures is the Commission considering?

2.How does the Commission plan to mitigate the potential negative impacts on Member States facing export caps, and on European technological development in general?

3.What concrete steps is the Commission taking to further accelerate the development of EU’s domestic AI chip production capabilities to reduce dependence on external suppliers and strengthen EU economic resilience?

4.The Competitiveness Compass makes only limited references to semiconductors. Is the Commission considering an update to the Chips Act to further support and accelerate investments in Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem?

5.Is the Commission planning to bring forward the recently announced centre for excellence and research for AI? If so, how and when is it due to be implemented?
