Burnham to argue for UK role in EU’s ‘Made in Europe’ scheme
The UK prime minister says the nation is no enemy of the bloc but rather a neighbour suffering similar problems.
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham plans to advocate for the UK's participation in the EU's 'Made in Europe' scheme during his first UN General Assembly meeting as leader. Burnham argues that Britain is a neighbor suffering from similar issues, particularly in steel, and is not an enemy of the bloc. He emphasizes the need to avoid collateral damage and prevent unnecessary trade barriers between London and EU member countries.
Burnham's government seeks to deepen ties with the EU, as relations improved under predecessor Keir Starmer after years of distrust following Britain's 2016 referendum to leave the bloc. However, he aims to surpass previous efforts, focusing on a UK-EU summit delayed by the leadership change in July, with hopes of its rescheduling this year.
