What happened
France's policy aimed at reducing competition from China includes proposals to exclude the UK from the EU's 'Made in Europe' law. French Minister mentioned that countries not in the internal market should not receive the same protections. Discussions around this policy occurred during a meeting involving Andy Burnham and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Why it matters
This policy could impact the ability of British companies to compete in supplying low-carbon technologies to European markets.
How this story affects people

You could face increased competition from EU firms that benefit from the 'Made in Europe' protections, making it harder for you to compete in European markets. This change may lead to a loss of contracts and revenue opportunities in a growing sector.
