EU will Großbritannien und Japan in „Made in Europe“-Pläne einbeziehen

>Under proposals unveiled by the European Commission on Wednesday, access to subsidies in clean technology, heavy industry and carmaking would be granted to manufacturing in as many as 40 trusted partners including the UK, provided they offer reciprocal access to EU-based manufacturers.
>
>”It’s a change of doctrine that was unthinkable just a few months ago,” said EU internal market commissioner Stéphane Séjourné. “We must support our strategic sectors.”
>
>.. The proposal marks a departure from Séjourné’s initial ambitions that mirrored a French desire to focus exclusively on EU-based manufacturers, according to people familiar with discussions.
>
>.. But other countries have pushed back against this protectionist approach, resulting in the Commission’s proposal to include partners with existing trade agreements in the act. The plans split the Commission, with directorates at odds over whether to include third countries, according to people familiar with the proposals.
>
>As a result, the focus shifted on reducing Europe’s reliance on trade partners such as China, at a time when the European industrial base is struggling to compete on the global stage, another official said.

Australia is in Eurovision, Japan made is Europe-made. It makes sense.

UK makes sense because it is Europe. Japan makes no sense. 

Japan doesn’t make any sense to me, Made In Japan is already a sign of quality. Although I’m not sure what is actually still made in Japan, most cameras and lenses aren’t made in Japan anymore but Thailand and China instead.
