Uniunea Europeană pregătește noi reguli pentru a favoriza produsele fabricate în Europa

The EU is introducing new regulations to boost European manufacturing and reduce reliance on external suppliers, aiming for the manufacturing sector to reach 20% of the EU's GDP by 2035. The 'Made in Europe' initiative focuses on industries like automotive, steel, and clean technologies, implementing conditions for subsidies and public procurement. Concerns arise in the UK about potential exclusion from supply chains, particularly in the automotive sector, which could impact access to subsidies and public contracts. The UK government argues that inclusion in these rules would not be preferential due to strong economic ties post-Brexit. Negotiations are ongoing, with the final legislation yet to be determined.
