Steel imports decrease in the EU

Europe has become more vigorous in defending its own market, ensuring a decrease in imports from the East. But the market situation has not changed significantly.

The European Union actively opposes imports at dumping prices, especially from the eastern border. In accordance with the current rules, customs duties are levied on goods brought in six months earlier. Thus, the simple initiation of production reduces the volume of imports.

Local price increases and increased turnover during this period should be reflected in the results of the whole year. At present, the situation on the EU metallurgical market is quite stable. However, industry experts do not see impulses that could significantly increase steel turnover.
