Key points

The regulation aims to protect the EU's ability to make independent political and legal decisions without being intimidated by foreign economic pressure.
The framework covers various forms of pressure, including direct actions, failures to act, or even threats of future economic measures.
The Commission will conduct investigations to determine if coercion is occurring, with timelines for decisions and potential extensions in urgent cases.
If coercion is confirmed and negotiations fail, the EU can implement countermeasures such as restricting investments or trade in certain services.
