The European Commission and the European Parliament have reached a preliminary agreement to reduce the duty-free import quota for steel to 18.3 million tons per year, a 47% reduction from 2024. Imports exceeding the quota will be subject to a 50% tariff, aimed at protecting the EU steel industry and increasing capacity utilization to 80%.
