Summary/Abstract: The French presidency of the Council of the European Union will seek to increase the resilience of European industrial ecosystems, support the green and digital transformations, and develop new production capacities. The solutions promoted by President Emmanuel Macron, such as a carbon border tax or minimum wage, are to simultaneously increase the role and competitiveness of French industry and European strategic autonomy. The French presidential elections scheduled for April may make it difficult to achieve these goals.
