The UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, is set to express concerns regarding the EU's Made in Europe initiative during a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in New York. This policy aims to prioritize EU manufacturers for public contracts, potentially impacting British industry and supply chains.
Burnham emphasized the need to rebuild UK-EU relations and seek practical agreements to benefit the British economy. He noted that the Made in Europe scheme could inadvertently harm UK interests, and he aims to find common ground with EU officials on this issue.
