Added: 115a. Invites the Member States and the Commission to support and facilitate initiatives aimed at accelerating the use of robots by European industries, in order to address Europe’s persistent lag in industrial automation compared to major competitors, and to complement the current Industry 4.0-related actions under the Digital Europe and Horizon Europe programmes; stresses that the delayed automation of European industrial production has already undermined global competitiveness in several sectors and that a timely acceleration in the deployment of robots is essential to safeguard industrial capacities and secure high-quality jobs that would otherwise be lost to non-EU competitors;
