The European Union Parliament and its member states reached an agreement on a landmark plan, the European Chips Act, to increase the bloc's chip industry. This initiative is intended to enable the EU to compete with the U.S. and Asia in the tech sector and secure control over a significant component of the technology used in electronic products and devices worldwide. The new regulations aim to double the EU's global market share in semiconductors to 20% by 2030, up from 10%.

The move is part of the EU plan to lessen its dependence on chips made in Asia and the United States. EU ministers are to meet on December 1 to effectively rubber stamp the chip plan. However, the plan will still need to be debated with the European Parliament before it can become law.
