Calls are being made on Andy Burnham's government to address the negative impacts of European Union rules on UK manufacturing, specifically within the automotive sector. The EU's new Industrial Accelerator Act proposes Made in Europe rules that require EVs to be constructed with 70% EU-origin components to qualify for public funding. The UK is currently excluded from this legislation, which Unite bosses warn could seriously damage the nation's manufacturing base.
