Volkswagen boss backs EU plan to boost domestic European industry

Volkswagen's boss, Oliver Blume, has expressed support for the European Union's plan to strengthen its domestic industry. This proposal aims to counter the growing influence of lower-priced Chinese car brands in the European market. The EU's "Made in Europe" rules are designed to level the playing field and allow European carmakers to compete fairly with their Chinese rivals. If implemented, these rules could have significant implications for trade and the economy, potentially affecting the prices and availability of European-made vehicles.
