The European Steel Association (EUROFER) has issued a critical warning about the surge in steel imports redirected from the United States, demanding immediate protective measures to safeguard the EU steel sector from unfair competition.
European steel manufacturers face mounting pressure as global steel flows shift dramatically. With US trade policies creating barriers for steel imports, producers are increasingly targeting European markets, creating an "import flood" that threatens domestic industry stability.
EUROFER emphasizes that effective trade defense mechanisms are essential for maintaining a competitive European steel industry. The organization advocates for:
The steel import surge poses significant risks to European employment and industrial capacity. Domestic steel producers struggle to compete with artificially low-priced imports, potentially leading to plant closures and job losses across the continent.
EUROFER stresses that delayed action could result in irreversible damage to Europe's steel manufacturing base. The association urges EU policymakers to implement comprehensive protective measures before market distortions become permanent.
The European steel industry's future depends on swift, decisive action to address these import challenges while maintaining fair competition principles within global markets.
