The proposed EU Supply Chain Act has once again failed to gain sufficient support among member states. This was announced by the Belgian presidency on Wednesday. „We must now assess the situation and see if it is possible to address the concerns raised by the member states in consultation with the European Parliament.“ This leaves open the question of whether the proposal, which could have significant implications for trade with China, will need to be renegotiated, even though there was already a compromise between negotiators from the two EU institutions in December.
