The European Parliament will vote on the proposal for technological sovereignty in July

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the European Parliament will vote in July on the technological sovereignty proposal submitted by the Industry, Research and Energy Committee (ITRE) led by pro-Bitcoin member Sarah Knafo.

The non-binding report was passed by ITRE on June 3, calling for the establishment of a European digital ecosystem policy, pointing out that Europe lags behind the United States and China in strategic areas such as cloud computing, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and communication infrastructure. The proposal suggests removing barriers to private investment innovation, promoting energy-efficient computing and blockchain infrastructure, and ensuring digital financial privacy.

Knafo stated, "If all right-wing parties vote in favor, we have a great chance of gaining majority support. But left-wing parties are pressuring center-right parties to block it." She emphasized that Europe has the engineers and scientists needed to catch up with the United States and China, requiring only the right political framework to allow them to work in Europe.

Previously, Knafo publicly opposed the European Central Bank's digital euro plan and called for the establishment of a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
