Healey to Ask EU Finance Ministers to Allow UK Into Industry Scheme
The chancellor is set to request that Britain be included in the EU's 'Made in Europe' programme, arguing deeper cooperation would benefit both sides, according to the BBC.
The chancellor is expected to ask European Union finance ministers to allow the United Kingdom to participate in the bloc's "Made in Europe" industry scheme, the BBC reported.
According to the report, the chancellor wants the programme to be used to deepen ties between the UK and the EU "rather than erecting new barriers."
Further details on the scope of the programme, the timing of the request, or the EU's likely response were not specified in the available report.
The BBC did not provide additional comment from EU officials on the proposal at this time.
