Franco-German Automotive Proposal Excludes Turkey from EU Support Scheme
What happened
A Franco-German automotive proposal, announced on October 16, establishes rules for which vehicles qualify for public procurement and financial support within the EU. This agreement grants Britain conditional access to the EU’s planned “Made in EU” support scheme. Despite being a major production base for European markets, Turkey was left outside this proposal. Antonio Filosa advocated for aligning automotive rules during the Paris Motor Show.
Why it matters
The proposal, part of the Industrial Accelerator Act, narrows differences between France and Germany regarding automotive rules. The exclusion of Turkey raises concerns about future model allocations and factory investment for the country. The agreement requires reciprocal treatment and alignment with EU rules on investment from third countries.
