08:47 AM EST, 11/03/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The European Union plans to revise laws governing its 18 trillion-euro single market to help domestic companies cut their reliance on foreign suppliers including those in China, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the plan. The European Commission will seek changes to laws covering motor vehicle-type approvals, foreign subsidies, forced labor and trade secrets, as part of efforts to strengthen the EU's economic security and internal market. The changes are part of a broader set of measures that will be announced by mid-December, according to the report. The Commission did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
