Brussels 20 March 2026 - The European Steel Association (EUROFER) welcomes the European Council conclusions adopted 19 March that recognises affordable energy is essential to competitiveness, decarbonisation ambitions and Europe’s industrial future. However, the steel sector warns that unless the response measures are designed and implemented effectively, they risk falling short of delivering both immediate relief and the structural changes needed to protect Europe’s industrial base.
Brussels, 16 March 2026 According to the latest economic report from the European Steel Association (EUROFER), Europe’s steel market is estimated to have shown signs of growth. However, it also highlights how the sector’s outlook is clouded by imports having gained a record share of the EU market, falling European production, volatile energy prices and rising trade tensions.
Brussels, 26 February 2026 — Europe’s steel industry has warned that the current draft Industrial Accelerator Act could direct public support for low-carbon steel to producers outside the European Union, unless lawmakers include and tighten ‘Made in Europe’ provisions.
