Burnham to discuss ‘problem’ Chinese imports in final days of Brexit reset talks – POLITICO

DUBLIN, Ireland — Britain shares Europe’s Chinese import problem, Andy Burnham said Thursday, as he pushes for Britain to be included in the bloc’s Made in Europe rules in the final run-up to Brexit reset talks. 

The British prime minister argued that Britain and the EU should work together to tackle the challenge posed by China— making the case for U.K. manufacturers to benefit from the bloc’s plans to give European industry preferential treatment.

“On Made in Europe, Europe’s issue is Britain’s issue, which is obviously, particularly imports from China, causing the problem,” Burnham told reporters on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit in Dublin.
