EES/ESB-löggjöf Lögfræðilegt eea eligibility european preference
Under the proposed EU Industrial Accelerator Act (March 2026), products from EEA/EFTA states (Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein) and Switzerland may qualify as a 'European preference option' (evrópskur valkostur) in public procurement, on the basis of existing free trade agreements. However, the specific eligibility criteria for EEA/EFTA products will only be clarified in delegated regulations the Commission will draft after the main regulation is adopted. This creates uncertainty about whether EEA membership alone will guarantee equivalent treatment to EU member state products under the new framework.

Fyrirvarar

The eligibility of EEA/EFTA products is described as a possibility ('may meet criteria'), not a certainty. The delegation to future derived regulations means this is an evolving situation — the actual treatment of EEA products could range from full equivalence to partial or conditional eligibility. This evidence should be updated when delegated acts are published. The public consultation closes 7 May 2026.

TRADE-DATA-042 Viðskipti

On 4 March 2026, the European Commission proposed the Industrial Accelerator Act (Iðnaðarhraðall), introducing 'Made in Europe' provisions that create a 'European preference' framework for public procurement and state aid. The proposal mandates minimum low-carbon content thresholds for specified product categories: 25% for steel and aluminium, 5% for cement and morite (mortar). Product categories initially covered are steel, cement, aluminium, vehicles, and clean-tech products, with possible expansion via delegated acts. The proposal is under deliberation by the European Parliament and Council of Ministers.
