#SaveEUSteel

With the European steel industry faced with:
🌏the impact of massive global overcapacity
⚡️high EU energy prices
⛴️unfair global trade practices

We need a fully watertight #CBAM to ensure our competitiveness on global markets.

Today @ec.europa.eu @steph-sejourne.bsky.social @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu put forward a proposal to strengthen the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism #CBAM.

⚠️While it correctly identifies several loopholes, the measures are insufficient and fail to address key weaknesses.

🚨 #CBAM implementation is the make-or-break moment to #FixThatLeak & #SaveEUSteel.

Stahldialog im Bundeskanzleramt: Wettbewerbsfähige Rahmenbedingungen für eine zukunftsfähige Stahlindustrie

Intense week for 🇪🇺 steel's future - the EP's debate on the new trade measure, the #OECD Steel Committee & #GFSEC meetings & yesterday's #Stahlgipfel was another crucial step to #SaveEUSteel.

A clear acknowledgment from @marossefcovic.bsky.social when presenting the @ec.europa.eu's proposal for a new steel trade measure: strategic autonomy begins with steel

There is no time to lose: the new EU steel trade measure needs to enter into force without delay! #StrongerWithEUSteel #SaveEUSteel

🔴WATCH: As #EUCO meets today, EVP Stéphane Séjourné words should guide the debate on boosting EU #competitiveness & securing a successful #GreenTransition.

The new #EUsteel trade measure is a vital first step — now we need full #SMAP implementation!

🔧Simplification must go hand in hand with closing CBAM loopholes!
Friday’s Omnibus Regulation is a step forward but key elements are missing, like robust CBAM benchmarks
🕓What's the best timeline to fix them?
The CBAM sectors issued a joint statement that explains it all

#SaveEUSteel #StrongerWithEUSteel

🚨 The Emergency #Steel Social Summit has begun.
Together with @industrialleurope.bsky.social, we host European Commission EVP Séjourné and MEP Geier for urgent discussions on how to #SaveEUSteel.

At stake? Europe's sovereignty, industrial competitiveness, jobs & climate ambition.

Stay tuned... 👀

🆘Emergency Steel Social Summit 🆘

Next Wednesday, together with @eurofer-eu.bsky.social , we will host an Emergency Steel Social Summit in Brussels.

With the European steel sector at breaking point, the time for action is NOW.

#SaveEUSteel

Thank you fellow panellists & @feps-europe.eu for organising this important conference at a crucial time for the EU industry, including #steel, on the path to decarbonisation and the challenges we are facing to maintain competitiveness while ensuring social justice. #StrongerWithEUSteel #SaveEUSteel

🎥We need a highly effective trade measure NOW to #SaveEUSteel

Global overcapacity keeps surging & the geoeconomics situation is not helping, with 🇺🇸50% tariffs still in place:

🔺By 2027: 721MT global overcapacity=5× the EU’s yearly production
🌊Cheap, carbon-intensive imports continue flooding the EU

📺“Europe must protect its industries. They are doing the right thing to decarbonise and they should be rewarded and incentivised.” – @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu #SOTEU2025

For #steel that means now:
🌐A robust successor to safeguards
📋Lead markets for #GreenSteel

It's time to #SaveEUSteel

Month of truth for EU’s heavy industry starts with von der Leyen’s speech Steel and aluminum industries demand quick and deep action to avoid total dependence on dirty imports. Strangely, Germany is absent.

The “Month of Truth” has begun for EU #steel & #aluminium, writes @koenverhelst.bsky.social in @politico.eu.

Promises of the #SMAP must translate into action to #SaveEUSteel: an effective trade measure vs global overcapacity & U.S. tariff deflection.

Full article: www.politico.eu/article/mont...

🌐With the #CBAM simplification approved, effectiveness must follow without delay!

The @europarl.europa.eu has just adopted the Omnibus Package that reduces administrative burden on #CBAM — but loopholes remain

Existential question raised by @industrialleurope.bsky.social about #steel & #steelworkers in their latest PR: is the EU determined to preserve its industrial backbone with the upcoming new trade measure promised in the #SMAP?
It's time to deliver. For the steel industry & its workers, #SaveEUSteel

🌍The #CBAM was built to ensure fair competition & cut global CO₂.

⚠️But loopholes like resource shuffling & export carbon leakagerisk making it ineffective.

Europe needs a watertight CBAM to protect jobs, industry & climate goals.

#FixThatLeak 🔧 #SaveEUSteel

🇺🇸 steel tariffs remain at 50%

With weak 🇪🇺 safeguards, trade deflection is rising fast.
Cheap, high-emission steel is flooding Europe while EU producers are unfairly cut out of the market

We need a new, highly effective trade measure NOW

Loopholes in CBAM = creative carbon accounting.
 
To #SaveEUSteel, let’s stop:
🔹 Resource shuffling
🔹 Export carbon leakage
 
🛠️ Fix it before it’s too late.
 
#FixThatLeak 🔧

🌊 EU steel is drowning in cheap imports.
 
🔹 Imports = 27% of EU market
🔹 31MT lost production since 2018
🔹 95,000 jobs lost since 2008
 
#StopTheFlood #SaveEUSteel 🏭👩‍🏭

📦 70% of EU steel exports go to countries with no carbon pricing.

Without an export fix, #CBAM will cause carbon & jobs leakage instead of stopping it.

We must safeguard clean EU steel & Europe’s transition!

#FixThatLeak 🔧 #SaveEUSteel 🏭👩‍🏭

🚨Together with @eurometal.bsky.social, we call on the EU to introduce robust trade measures for steel derivatives & urgently safeguard the 🇪🇺steel value chain

🛠️The #SMAP must be implemented & deliver real results from raw materials to finished products. #SaveEUSteel

👏11 Member States led by 🇫🇷 set the course for a ‘highly effective’ EU trade measure to #SaveEUSteel

Every day lost is a step further from EU industrial sovereignty!

We urge @ec.europa.eu to act: 🇪🇺 can only be #StrongerWithEUSteel

🇪🇺🇺🇸The new EU–U.S. trade deal limits wider damage, but EU #steel still faces prohibitive 50% tariffs for now.

With 30 million tonnes already lost since 2018, the sector can't wait.

We need a highly effective trade measure. We need to #SaveEUSteel

The #CID is a strong signal but action must follow now to #SaveEUSteel:

·A Highly effective trade measure
·Fix CBAM loopholes
·Affordable green energy
·Access to ferrous scrap

🎥MUST WATCH: 🇺🇸 steel tariffs are adding fuel to the fire of global steel overcapacity badly impacting 🇪🇺 industry

⚠️The EU has no robust import management: safeguards are no longer fit for purpose & will end soon.
