EUROFER’s Steel in Action captures a pivotal moment for the European steel sector. As global overcapacity, unfair trade practices, high energy prices, carbon costs and decarbonisation investment challenges converge, the EU has begun to respond - most notably through the new Clean Industrial Deal and the long-awaited Steel and Metals Action Plan. A fast-changing geopolitical and geoeconomic landscape is also redefining Europe’s route to a greener, more resilient and competitive industrial future.
This booklet outlines how Europe’s steel industry - represented and led by EUROFER - is navigating these complex challenges, from trade and energy to climate policy and industrial competitiveness. With a spotlight on the EU’s new policy frameworks, it presents key developments, policy milestones and industry trends impacting the future of EU steel.
Above all, the booklet tracks the progress already made and the urgent steps still needed to make Europe #StrongerWithEUSteel - and avoid the irreversible cost of inaction.
It’s time to act. It’s time to #SaveEUSteel.
