EU Wields Trade Laws Against Chinese Imports
Written by Tim Triplett
Like in the United States, steelmakers in the European Union are using their trade laws to fight back against steel imports that are unfairly subsidized by the governments in China and other countries. On Aug. 9, the European Union imposed provisional import duties of up to 28.5 percent on certain Chinese corrosion-resistant steels.
The eight-month investigation was triggered by a complaint from Eurofer, the European steel trade association, whose members include ArcelorMittal, ThyssenKrupp and Tata Steel Europe.
