【英文】欧盟芯片法案（182页）

Semiconductors are at the core of any digital device and the Union’s digital  transition: from smartphones and cars, through critical applications and  infrastructures in health, energy, communications and automation to most other  industry sectors. As semiconductors are central to the digital economy, they are  powerful enablers for the sustainability and green transition, contributing thus to  the objectives of the Commission communication of 11 December 2019 on ‘The  European Green Deal’. 

While semiconductors are essential to the functioning of  today's economy and society as well as defence and security, the Union has  witnessed unprecedented disruptions in their supply, the consequences of which  are significant. The current disruptions have exposed long-lasting vulnerabilities in  this respect, in particular a strong third-country dependency in manufacturing and  design of chips. Member States are primarily responsible for maintaining a strong  industrial, competitive, sustainable base in the Union promoting innovation across  a full range of chips.
