'Made in Europe' law should be limited to nearby countries, MEP says
- EU law debating 'Made in Europe' should target nearby non-EU countries, says MEP Christophe Grudler.
- Grudler argues geography, not breadth, should define the scope of 'Made in Europe'.
- Possible candidates include Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, as well as Switzerland.
- Brexit-era considerations mean the UK could be examined as a potential partner.
- The proposal aims to counter foreign competition in EU markets for strategic sectors.
- Beijing opposes the legislation as it restricts access to EU procurement and investment.
- The debate centers on how broad or narrow the 'Made in Europe' scope should be.
- The European Commission proposed broad language, with further talks upcoming in the Parliament.
- The policy targets procurement in key sectors like clean tech and energy-intensive industries.
- The general aim is to bolster Europe’s resilience against unfair competition from other continents.
