The European Parliament approved new foreign direct investment rules to tighten oversight of capital inflows from non-EU actors. The legislation expands screening requirements across the 27-nation bloc for the first time since the previous framework was established. For investors, the move signals a more restrictive regulatory environment for cross-border deals involving sensitive European assets and infrastructure.
