What happened
Andy Burnham warned that the U.K.'s exclusion from European Union structures could negatively impact the British car industry. He stated that the U.K. should be considered a "trusted partner" under the European Union's proposed "Made in EU" rules. The European Commission's Industrial Accelerator Act, unveiled in March, aims to support local industries by introducing local-content and low-carbon requirements for products bought through public procurement.

Why it matters
The Industrial Accelerator Act uses the financial power of EU member states' public procurement—worth over €2 trillion—to help domestic industries compete with foreign producers. This effort is part of broader EU goals to reduce reliance on China in strategic sectors, including electric vehicles and green technologies.
Andy Burnham previously expressed concerns to Emmanuel Macron that the EU agenda poses challenges for U.K. industry amid global competition from China and the United States.
