Ford Europe seeks 'Made in Europe' label extension to UK, Turkey

Ford Europe president Jim Baumbick requests that the EU's Industrial Acceleration Law's 'Made in Europe' designation include close partners like Turkey and the UK, where Ford operates factories and R&D centers. This reflects corporate pressure to broaden EU industrial policy amid trade tensions with China, potentially reshaping supply chain incentives. The outcome is uncertain, as EU member states may resist diluting the label's domestic focus.
