UK Chancellor Healey Urges EU to Include Britain in 'Made in Europe' Scheme
The chancellor is set to appeal to European finance ministers to deepen economic ties rather than create new barriers, according to the BBC.
Chancellor Healey is expected to ask European Union finance ministers to allow the United Kingdom to participate in the bloc's "Made in Europe" programme, the BBC reported.
According to the report, Healey wants the initiative to be used as a way to strengthen economic ties between the UK and the EU, rather than "erecting new barriers" between the two.
The BBC did not provide further details on the scope of the Made in Europe programme or on the specific proposals Healey intends to put forward to his European counterparts.
It remains unclear when the discussions with EU finance ministers are expected to take place or what response, if any, has been received from Brussels regarding the request.
The BBC report did not include additional comment from the UK Treasury or from European officials on the matter.
