# The UK seeks EU allies to jointly oppose France's "European Manufacturing" initiative

The UK is lobbying countries including Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands to resist France's stringent trade proposals. This proposal could exclude the UK from EU public procurement tenders. France is pushing for strict "EU-first" rules for goods and services, particularly in sectors such as automotive, advanced technology, and renewable energy. The UK is trying to persuade the European Commission to abandon this approach, fearing it could harm the interests of both sides. Some EU member states also remain concerned that overly restrictive "local content" rules could stifle investment, raise manufacturing costs, and indirectly boost competitors. (Bloomberg)
