Chancellor John Healey will meet EU finance ministers in Dublin on Friday, urging them to include the UK in the upcoming "Made in Europe" industrial protection scheme instead of creating new barriers. The scheme aims to shield European manufacturing from unfair competition, particularly from China, but there are concerns it could exclude British firms. Healey plans to emphasize the importance of closer ties between the UK and EU to enhance access for British businesses to European supply chains and customers, while also discussing tech, defense, and manufacturing partnerships.

Story summary
John Healey, Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer, will meet EU finance ministers in Dublin on Friday to advocate for deeper partnerships between the UK and the EU in technology, defense, and manufacturing. He will urge the EU not to exclude the UK from its "Made in Europe" program aimed at protecting European industries from unfair competition, particularly from China. The program, officially known as the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA), seeks to shield EU manufacturing by imposing restrictions on goods from non-EU countries. There is worry within the British government that this initiative could isolate UK firms from European supply chains. Healey aims to mitigate the economic effects of Brexit and foster closer ties with the EU without compromising UK interests, following a previous dispute over an EU defense loans scheme where talks broke down due to disagreements on financial contributions.
