EUROFER welcomes the European Commission’s proposal to impose provisional anti-dumping measures of 25% on imports of wire rod from China.
“The proposed level of measures correctly addresses the injury suffered from dumped EU import surges of Chinese wire rod. We very much welcome the proposed measures against China, they are timely, coming at a very critical period on the market”, points out Gordon Moffat, EUROFER Director General.
“However, we do not understand the Commission’s decision to exclude Turkey from the proposed imposition of measures: significant dumping margins have been found by the investigation. The final stage of the investigation will allow to clarify this outstanding issue”, Moffat adds.
Represented by EUROFER, the European steel industry is the world leader in its sector with a turnover of over EUR 160 billion and direct employment of 430 thousand people, producing over 200 million tons of steel per year.
