We engaged closely with the EU before their Steel Regulation came into effect on 1 July and agreed an approach that reflects the UK and EU’s highly interconnected supply chains. We continue to work with the EU to strengthen UK-EU steel trade over the longer term, while also cooperating with the EU and other international partners to tackle global steel overcapacity.
