Burnham warns Macron about the impact of the 'Made in EU' agenda on the British economy

Sábado3 September 2026 at 18:45

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, warned French President Emmanuel Macron about the negative impact of the "Made in EU" agenda on the British economy. The warning was issued in the context of trade tensions between the United Kingdom and the European Union.

London has been developing efforts for British companies to be considered European under rules of origin. This issue is fundamental to determining whether UK products can circulate freely in the European single market without facing customs tariffs.

However, British efforts have encountered resistance from several European countries. France, in particular, has stood out as one of the main obstacles to this claim, expressing opposition to the United Kingdom's attempts to maintain preferential access to the European market.

The debate over rules of origin has become a central point in post-Brexit trade relations between the United Kingdom and the European Union, with significant implications for strategic industrial sectors on both sides.
