The tariff quota distribution aims to minimise the impact of the EU's steel measure on its FTA partners within the limits of the Steel Regulation and without compromising the measure's effectiveness.
Half of the EU's annual import quota has been reserved exclusively for preferential trading (FTA) partners, with the remaining half available to all trading partners – including FTA partners – without discrimination. Moreover, many FTA partners will receive secure country-specific quotas proportionate to their historic import volumes.
Most of the EU's FTA partners will therefore see a market access reduction significantly lower than the average reduction of 47% foreseen by the Steel Regulation.
