France says EU’s ‘Made in Europe’ law should not include the UK
- France is leading a push to exclude the UK from the EU’s “Made in Europe” policy that could result in British companies losing out in the race to supply European countries with low-carbon technologies and electric cars.
- The plans were raised by Andy Burnham when he met the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, on the sidelines of the UN general assembly earlier this week.
- The policy, still under negotiation, aims to protect European companies from intense and “unfair” state-subsidised competition from China.
