Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 – paragraph 2 a (new)

The screening on the grounds of security and public order should include; – The extent to which a foreign direct investment is part of a state-led industrial policy strategy in support of strategic national interests; – The degree of reciprocity in openness to foreign direct investments. Furthermore the Commission may take into account whether the foreign investor: – Is controlled by the government of a third country; – Receives substantial state aid ; – Respects core labour standards and international agreements on sustainable development in its global operations.
