The European Union has reportedly demanded that Britain raise tariffs on Chinese cars, with EU officials telling Prime Minister Andy Burnham that Britain needs to align more closely with EU trade policy toward China if British manufacturers are to avoid discriminatory treatment under the bloc's proposed "Made in Europe" rules, according to the Financial Times (SCMP, October 3).
