\u201ccollateral damage\u201d to British industry from EU plans to give European companies priority in public procurement.<br \/>\n    <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-content js-article-content\">\n<p>Prime Minister Andy Burnham will urge the European Union not to shut the UK out of its \u201cMade in Europe\u201d public procurement scheme when he meets European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"c-ad u-show-for-mobile-only\">\n<div

loading=\"lazy\"><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Burnham is expected to warn of the risk of \u201ccollateral damage\u201d to UK industries from the EU scheme, which is designed to boost domestic production and shield European companies from unfair competition from China.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Europe&#8217;s argument is not with us. We both suffer the same effects as other countries, particularly (in) steel,&#8221; Burnham reportedly told journalists accompanying him on his trip to New York on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are making the argument: we are not your enemies here,&#8221; he added. &#8220;We are not the problem. Made in Europe is dealing with a different problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The UK\u2019s involvement in the scheme is being negotiated as part of broader talks on a reset in the relationship with Brussels, which successive Labour governments in London have been attempting to repair after years of post-Brexit animosity.<\/p>\n<p>A UK-EU summit scheduled for late July was abruptly cancelled when former prime minister Keir Starmer announced plans to step down in June, paving the way for Burnham to take the keys to 10 Downing Street uncontested.<\/p>\n<p>Both sides are yet to decide on a new date for the summit, which is expected to take place before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>EU officials say that the Burnham government is now prioritising the \u201cMade in Europe\u201d scheme in talks, which also cover agri-food trade and a visa scheme for young people.<\/p>\n<p>Burnham\u2019s minister in charge of EU relations, Hamish Falconer, raised the prospect of a special carve-out for the UK from the scheme when he met with the bloc\u2019s trade chief, Maro\u0161 \u0160ef\u010dovi\u010d, in Brussels earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>Chancellor John Healey is also understood to have pushed for a special arrangement for the UK when he travelled to Dublin for a meeting of EU economic and finance ministers last week. <\/p>\n<p>Burnham said on Tuesday that he would present some of the UK\u2019s concerns in a \u201cconstructive spirit\u201d in his meeting with the Commission chief, while at the same time \u201cworking towards what we hope will be a successful EU-UK summit later this year&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the UK\u2019s position had \u201cconsiderable support\u201d among EU member states. <\/p>\n<p>France, a major proponent of the \u201cMade in Europe\u201d scheme, has been in talks with the UK government over a possible resolution and has in the past expressed openness to including partner countries, including the UK, in the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Brussels says it needs to urgently address unfair Chinese competition, and the bloc has set an October deadline for &#8220;tangible&#8221; results in talks with Beijing to address the EU&#8217;s ballooning trade deficit, which risks wiping out manufacturing industries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-share-comment

European Union not to shut the UK out of its \u201cMade in Europe\u201d public procurement scheme when he meets European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.Burnham is expected to warn of the risk of \u201ccollateral damage\u201d to UK industries from the EU scheme, which is designed to boost domestic production and shield European companies from unfair competition from China.&#8221;Europe&#8217;s argument is not with us. We both suffer the same effects as other countries, particularly (in) steel,&#8221; Burnham reportedly told journalists accompanying him on his trip to New York on Tuesday.\u00a0&#8220;We are making the argument: we are not your enemies here,&#8221; he added. &#8220;We are not the problem. Made in Europe is dealing with a different problem.&#8221;The UK\u2019s involvement in the scheme is being negotiated as part of broader talks on a reset in the relationship with Brussels, which successive Labour governments in London have been attempting to repair after years of post-Brexit animosity.A UK-EU summit scheduled for late July was abruptly cancelled when former prime minister Keir Starmer announced plans to step down in June, paving the way for Burnham to take the keys to 10 Downing Street uncontested.Both sides are yet to decide on a new date for the summit, which is expected to take place before the end of the year.EU officials say that the Burnham government is now prioritising the \u201cMade in Europe\u201d scheme in talks, which also cover agri-food trade and a visa scheme for young people.Burnham\u2019s minister in charge of EU relations, Hamish Falconer, raised the prospect of a special carve-out for the UK from the scheme when he met with the bloc\u2019s trade chief, Maro\u0161 \u0160ef\u010dovi\u010d, in Brussels earlier this month.Chancellor John Healey is also understood to have pushed for a special arrangement for the UK when he travelled to Dublin for a meeting of EU economic and finance ministers last week.Burnham said on Tuesday that he would present some of the UK\u2019s concerns in a \u201cconstructive spirit\u201d in his meeting with the Commission chief, while at the same time \u201cworking towards what we hope will be a successful EU-UK summit later this year&#8221;.He added that the UK\u2019s position had \u201cconsiderable support\u201d among EU member states.France, a major proponent of the \u201cMade in Europe\u201d scheme, has been in talks with the UK government over a possible resolution and has in the past expressed openness to including partner countries, including the UK, in the scheme.Brussels says it needs to urgently address unfair Chinese competition, and the bloc has set an October deadline for &#8220;tangible&#8221; results in talks with Beijing to address the EU&#8217;s ballooning trade deficit, which risks wiping out manufacturing industries.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/09\/22\/we-are-not-your-enemies-uks-burnham-to-raise-made-in-europe-concerns-with-von-der-leyen&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/92\/28\/76\/1200x675_cmsv2_cb0a5ea2-c88a-5233-b32c-6fe8b70c86fb-9922876.jpg&#8221;] Business France&#8217;s budget: Oxfam proposes tax on &#8216;super-inheritances&#8217; to raise billions Libya Armed group shuts Libyan oil pipeline, jeopardising exports Art Ivan McClellan on capturing the unseen world of Black cowboy culture Europe News EPP leader warns Morocco of &#8216;obvious consequences&#8217; over Ceuta crisis Business France&#8217;s budget: Oxfam proposes tax on &#8216;super-inheritances&#8217; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2157009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2157009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2157009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2157009\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2157009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2157009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2157009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
