France and Germany push new EU trade defences
Original: France, Germany call for new EU trade tools to protect European industry
France and Germany have jointly called on the European Union to develop new trade instruments to shield European industry from unfair competition and external pressure. The joint appeal from the EU's two largest economies is being reported by international outlets, with the proposals expected to feed into ongoing debate in Brussels over tougher protection for strategic sectors.
Why now: The rare joint Franco-German position on trade protection comes amid growing concern over competition from state-subsidised foreign industry.
