[HIGHLIGHTS] We must now “show our teeth” to protect the economic interests of the European Union, believes Bruno Le Maire

Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire is due to participate in a meeting on Monday in Paris on European industrial policy. The first two trilaterals, in June and October, in Berlin and Rome, were devoted to supplying the EU with critical raw materials and then to artificial intelligence.

Among the projects discussed on Monday are the strengthening of Europe's energy independence and administrative simplification. The EU is experiencing a trade deficit of 200 billion euros with China, according to the French Ministry of Economy.
