Brussels, 20 February 2026 – EU steel exports to the United States fell by 30% in the second half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, after the imposition of 50% tariffs according to new Eurostat data. The expansion of the U.S. tariff regime to include downstream steel-intensive products, such as machinery and equipment, is expected to amplify its impact on both EU steel producers and their customers. The European Steel Association (EUROFER) said the figures underscore the need for any EU-US trade agreement to be fair, balanced and enforceable.
Brussels, 11 February 2026 - The European Steel Association (EUROFER) has backed a call to action adopted by European companies and industries in Antwerp today, which includes a demand on the EU to take urgent action to bring electricity prices down as a condition for Europe’s industrial drive, competitiveness and economic resilience.
Strasbourg, 17 December 2025 – The European Commission’s latest proposals on the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), unveiled today, correctly identify several loopholes that risk undermining its effectiveness, notably regarding EU exports, downstream sectors and circumvention practices. However, despite these laudable efforts, the measures put forward fail to deliver a comprehensive and durable response to carbon and jobs leakage, warns the European Steel Association (EUROFER).
