The European Commission has asked major European companies and CEOs to detail their investment plans in the United States in a bid to gain ammunition in crucial trade talks with Washington, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Members of the European Business Confederation, a group of 42 business federations in the region, received a survey on Monday asking for information on upcoming U.S. investments and were instructed to respond as soon as possible, one source said.
A similar notice asking for an investment plan for the next five years was also sent to the 59-member European Industry Roundtable, the second source said, stressing that the request was made personally by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
