Tiny, yet impactful – we're talking about microchips.

They make our smartphones, trains and entire factories work.

Massively adopted by the European Parliament, the will tackle the chip shortage by:

  • Accelerating permits for rapid chip investments.

  • Empowering SMEs with enhanced chip design support.

  • Implementing a crisis response mechanism for supply issues.

  • Securing €3.3B for chip research.

  • Establishing competence centres to attract talent.

Where does the software come from which running on these chips? Why doesnt support the EU europeans software-companies developing software?
Where is the EU support for Open-Source software??
If data is the new oil, hardware und software are the machines to run and earn money!
So we NEED european made and owned IT: hardware AND software!

@EU_Commission I do not have much of a sense of perspective but in that industry 3 billion sounds like a drop and SMEs are hardly going to solve the supply chain issues.

Pro-putin China plans to invade Taiwan.

MAGA plans to side with Putin vs Europe.

There goes chip security for Europe. Europe must make their own chips.

Europe must be energy independent, technology independent, military security independent, return the jobs from China to Europe and be economically independent.

@EU_Commission Good. Oh, and while we're talking about 'crisis response mechanisms': We should also make a defense plan for when China tries to invade in a few years.

€3.3B for chip research?

How much for LongCovid research?
(as there doesn't appear to be any attempts to prevent infections EU-wide)

@EU_Commission In the UK we call these "crisps"

@EU_Commission it would be great if the CRA actually took account of communities and the realities of how individual developers contribute to software projects - unlikely to be much of that research and innovation if Open Source is stifled in Europe.

Nothing on recycling/reusing components?!

@EU_Commission I expect many recyclable, repairable products with EU chips! Most trustworthy production place right now to be honest.

The US have proven they spy on everyone by any means, and the chinese... well, the EU already meddles with Huawei technology, so take a guess.

Also hope for more Open-Source hardware! The chain of trust (from each transistor to high-level programming language) must be open for audit by everyone to really be trustworthy!

@EU_Commission Fortunately, you fixed the "chips" to "crisps" in the alt text. But it does the joke. 😂
