Steel is crucial for the EU economy.

To protect the sector from unfair global overcapacity and to ensure its long-term viability, we propose:

🔹Limiting tariff-free import volumes
🔹Doubling the level of out-of-quota duty to 50%
🔹Strengthening steel market traceability

Europe is only safe if its Eastern border is safe.

Over the past days, President von der Leyen visited frontline states to reaffirm Europe’s unity and solidarity.

Together, we are strengthening border protection, our defence industry, NATO cooperation and support for Ukraine.
