We welcome Commissions strong commitment to propose, a highly effective steel trade measure that will secure EU steel capacities and allow investments. We fully agree and support the entire European Commission Proposal on the matter. Furthermore, we would support the entry into force on 1/1/2026 or latest 1/4/2026. We consider that the implementation of the measure is of an urgent nature. The period until implementation can be used for excessive imports of products to last for a long time and therefore cause a major problem in the market. Furthermore, to be fully effective, the new mechanism must apply to all third countries without exception. In case there is a relevant discussion, we would support, as an addition, the application of Melt and Pour as a country-of-origin rule within the European Union.
