JURI Committee submits opinion on Chips Act

With the Chips Act, the EU intends to create a strong European semiconductor ecosystem and secure Europe’s technological sovereignty in the future. JURI rapporteur Tiemo Wölken (S&D) proposes a new technological path to achieve this, in his opinion for the Legal Affairs Committee: Europe should promote open source to create a foundation on which the economy could build. It involves transferring the known open-source concept from software to hardware. This is according to the JURI opinion, which is available to Europe.Table, and will be published in the coming days. Most of the proposed amendments relate to Article 4 of the Commission proposal.
