It was the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2019/452 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 March 2019 establishing a framework for the screening of foreign direct investments into the Union ("EU Screening Regulation"), which gave rise to the CELIS initiative.

CELIS is multi-stakeholder, open-platform initiative which seeks to study and to further the development of an emerging “Common European Law on Investment Screening”, in short "CELIS".
