EU considers legislation to reduce dependency on single suppliers in sensitive sectors

The European Commission is considering new legislation that would require diversification of supply chains to at least three sources in sensitive sectors, according to European Commission Vice-President Maroš Šefčovič. The proposed measures aim to reduce the EU's vulnerability to supply disruptions by eliminating dependency on single suppliers in critical areas. Šefčovič, a Slovak politician who serves as one of the Commission's vice-presidents overseeing interinstitutional relations and strategic foresight, outlined the initiative as part of broader efforts to strengthen European economic resilience and reduce strategic dependencies on potentially unreliable partners.
