The European Union took several actions in March to shape its internal market and industrial policy. Most significantly, it decided to allow plant-based products to continue using names like 'veggie burger' and 'steak', rejecting a proposed ban on such terminology. Concurrently, the bloc launched a 'Buy European' initiative intended to strengthen domestic industry, though reports indicate some of the associated rules were subsequently weakened. In a separate labor market initiative, the EU created a 'Talent Pool' program aimed at attracting skilled workers from the Balkans. A report also highlighted a record number of dangerous consumer products found in the EU market last year.
In international economic relations, the United States launched new trade investigations targeting the European Union and China, with the potential to result in new tariffs. These probes, which also involve 15 other countries, represent a revival of a trade policy approach used during the previous Trump administration.
