Made in EU plan raises concerns for Turkish suppliers
The European Union’s proposed Industrial Accelerator Act could shape the future of production and supply chain ties between Türkiye and the bloc, as Turkish business representatives warn that “Made in EU” rules may create risks for companies already integrated into European value chains.
The draft regulation aims to increase European production in strategic sectors and reduce dependence on China, particularly in clean technologies, automotive, batteries, steel, chemicals and critical raw materials.
It would link access to public procurement, state aid and certain incentive programs to local-content requirements in the EU.
For Türkiye, the main issue is whether products made in the country will be recognized within the bloc’s European content criteria.
