Brussels’ protectionist turn alarms EU free-market advocates

Original: Brussels’ protectionist turn spooks bloc’s free-market stalwarts

EU policy in Brussels is taking a more protectionist direction, according to the Financial Times, and this is worrying free-market-minded members of the bloc. The shift, framed as a turn away from open-market principles, has reportedly unsettled governments and politicians who favour trade liberalisation. Concerns centre on what the change means for the EU’s single market and its traditional support for open competition.

Why now: A reported protectionist shift in EU policy is prompting debate among free-market members of the bloc.
