A summit to formalise a post-Brexit reset between the UK and EU, originally scheduled for July 22 and briefly moved to Nov. 6, has been delayed again and is now unlikely before late November, two EU officials told the Financial Times. UK ministers say the meeting must address new Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s objections to an EU 'European-made' procurement policy that would prioritise EU-made goods in some public and corporate contracts. The UK government says the measure could damage manufacturing sectors including autos and chemicals.
