The Industrial Accelerator Act is intended to bolster European industry against cheaper imports from Asia.
In my head, Japan is sitting there wearing lederhosen as a disguise.
UK is in Europe, so fine.
But Japan?
It’s civilized and not hostile. Not many names in that list.
Europu
well, in case we manage to extend our borders even further…

But not Canada?
Middle children never get anything good
Maybe they can buy a small rock island somewhere in Europe.
That rock Canada and Denmark were warring over could be the ideal candidate for selling/donating.
So “made in Europe” rather means “made in EU and partners”.
Made in EU+
“First-world production”. I can establish loyalty to any product made without slaves. Also, I consider the US an enslaved population at this point. EU, Canada, Japan, UK, Australia and New Zealand are my A-tier. Probably South Korea too.
Or rather “Not made in China”
Not made in China, Russia or the US
Made in an actual democracy
Imagine a label actually saying “100% China free production”, “100% Russia free production”, “100% US free production”, because that means it is more eco-friendly and less slave-labour etc
Europe needs partners, as does everyone.
With a little understanding you can find the perfect blend
Sometime in the future we should also include countries like Australia, South Korea, Canada, and others. Although, for the time being I hope the focus is to extend trade partnerships - especially finishing the FTA with Australia and a new one with ASEAN, that’d make me very happy.
This shouldn’t really be about some sort of euro-nationalism, but rather a pragmatic approach that allows us to best counter USA and China.A little bit weird to include Japan, but honestly Im fine with that.
I don’t see why the UK would need to be included …
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 basically a trade agreement.
