UK warns 'Made in Europe' laws could derail EU reset talks
British government sources say EU legislation designed to counter Chinese industrial influence poses a risk to UK businesses and threatens a planned bilateral summit.
European legislation aimed at curbing China's presence in EU industry could derail a planned reset summit between the UK and the EU bloc, according to government sources. The "Made in Europe" legislation, formally known as the Industrial Accelerator Act, was not included in a reset plan agreed by former Prime Minister Keir Starmer and European Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen in London in May 2025.
UK officials say the law threatens to lock British businesses out of EU industry and must be addressed before the summit can proceed as planned.
