9月3日在埃维昂举行的法德经济会议上，法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙亲自与米其林首席执行官弗洛朗·梅内戈和宝马监事会主席尼古拉斯·彼得交谈，请他们致力于缩小法德两国汽车行业在欧洲优先原则上的分歧。
At the French-German Economic Meetings in Evian on September 3, French President Emmanuel Macron personally spoke to Florent Menegaux, CEO of Michelin, and Nicolas Peter, chairman of the supervisory board of BMW, to ask them to work on narrowing the gap between the French and German automotive sectors regarding European preference.
一位业内人士解释说，马克龙在圆桌会议结束时做出的这一决定“是非正式的，没有官方授权”，重点是让这两位“意愿坚决”的领导人充当调解人。此后，梅内戈和彼得已经进行了多次通话。
Macron's decision, made at the end of a roundtable, "was informal, with no official mandate," explained an industry figure, and focused on these two "willing" leaders to act as mediators. Since then, Menegaux and Peter have spoken several times.
2024年10月13日，法雷奥总经理克里斯托夫·佩里拉和佛瑞亚董事长米歇尔·德·罗森在爱丽舍宫共进晚餐时，曾向总统提出要求，对享受补贴或税收优惠的汽车规定最低本地化成分的要求。此后，这个想法逐渐获得支持。在法国的推动下，该措施成为欧洲委员会执行副总裁斯特凡·塞茹内于3月4日提出的名为《工业加速器法案》的欧洲立法提案的主题。
The obligation to require a minimum local content for cars that benefit from subsidies or tax advantages was requested from the president by Christophe Périllat, director general of Valeo, and Michel de Rosen, chairman of Forvia, during a dinner at the Elysée Palace on October 13, 2024. Since then, the idea has gained traction. Pushed by France, the measure became the subject of a European legislative proposal, called the "Industrial Accelerator Act," presented by European Commission executive vice president Stéphane Séjourné on March 4.
