Andy Burnham to argue for UK role in EU's Made in Europe
Burnham says the UK should be treated as a trusted partner as Brussels weighs a scheme meant to curb Chinese competition and protect European industry.
- On Tuesday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham meets European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at the United Nations General Assembly in New York to urge UK inclusion in the 'Made in Europe' procurement scheme.
- Burnham aims to avoid missing out on another initiative after the collapse of talks to join the EU's SAFE defence fund, as the scheme intends to curb reliance on Chinese components by prioritizing domestic production.
- "Europe's argument is not with us," Burnham said, stressing that Britain shares similar manufacturing challenges; he proposes a "trusted partner" approach to avoid trade barriers and "collateral damage" to UK industries.
- Minister for European relations Hamish Falconer and Chancellor John Healey actively pursue a specific carve-out for the UK, while France has expressed potential openness to including partner countries in the initiative.
- Brussels faces an October deadline to address unfair Chinese competition and a ballooning trade deficit, which narrows the window for the UK to secure access as the bloc prioritizes these trade conflicts.
