France says EU’s ‘Made in Europe’ law should not include the UK

·The Guardian·Impact 3/5 · Notable

France is pushing to exclude the UK from the EU's "Made in Europe" law, which aims to curb Chinese competition and promote low-carbon technologies and electric cars within the European market. This move could potentially disadvantage British companies that supply these products to European countries. The "Made in Europe" law is designed to provide preferential treatment to EU-based companies, offering them better protection and access to the internal market. This exclusion could impact the UK's ability to compete in the European market, particularly in the low-carbon technology sector.
