My department is looking closely at the EU’s Made in Europe measures across a range of legislative proposals and is engaging with industry leaders and the EU institutions. We will continue to assess the potential economic impacts for the UK as the EU’s Made in Europe programme develops, including in sectors such as steel and energy.

The UK-EU Leaders’ summit, on 20th November, will provide an opportunity to raise wider issues of mutual interest, including Made in Europe.
