Peter Kyle, the British Minister for Business and Trade, is negotiating in Brussels to strengthen ties between Brussels and London and to ensure that the upcoming European preference system includes the UK. The British government fears that the 'Made in Europe' regulation could exclude British companies from EU public procurement and state aid. The preference system's details remain contentious, delaying its introduction. The UK also seeks access to a €150 billion arms procurement program and aims to participate in a €90 billion EU loan package for Ukraine, currently blocked by Hungary. Public opinion in the UK shows a majority regrets leaving the EU, with many supporting closer cooperation without full membership. Despite ongoing negotiations, the EU maintains that the UK cannot selectively choose favorable elements from the single market without accepting the four fundamental freedoms.
