Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/978 of 23 June 2022 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/159 imposing a definitive safeguard measure on imports of certain steel products

(48) Some interested parties claimed that because prices in the US are usually higher than in the Union, EU producers would have an incentive to export to the US at the expense of domestic sales, thereby risking creating a shortage in the Union market in some categories.

(49) For a number of reasons, the Commission considered that these claims should be rejected. In the first place, the notion of trade diversion into the Union market cannot encompass the limitation of exports to the US of the EU industry itself. In other words, the Union industry can never be at risk of trade diversion of its own sales. This defies the logic of trade diversion. Therefore, the fact that the EU may be able to improve its presence in the US market is neutral with respect to the risk of trade diversion from exporting countries to the Union market.

(50) Second, the claims that the Union industry would use up its TRQs at the expense (mainly or even exclusively) of domestic sales is not substantiated by evidence. These claims did not consider that, also theoretically, the Union industry could increase its production volume

Both the Definitive and the Prolongation Regulations showed that in overall terms the Union industry had certain additional capacity available.

, thus not sacrificing domestic sales and creating additional revenue through increased export sales to the US, and that it could also redirect volumes to the US from exports to other markets that may be less attractive for a number of reasons, including price levels

Several interested parties argued that the US tends to have generally the highest level of prices.

.

(51) Irrespective of all these theoretical possibilities, the reality has shown that in the first quarter since the entry into force of the TRQ system, the EU has been far from using up its quotas. In fact, over the first quarter it only used around 42% of the quota

US Report on TRQ consumption.

.

(52) Therefore, the key assumption made by some interested parties, and the premise underpinning their argumentation, namely that the EU exporting producers would be able to use up all of its quotas in the US, has proven to be wrong in the first place.

(53) The Commission concluded that the fact that the EU is subject to a TRQ system under the US Section 232 measures does not have any impact on the functioning of the safeguard measure with respect to the risk of trade diversion. Nor has any party demonstrated to any extent that exporting under a TRQ regime under Section 232 would as such create a risk of shortage of supply in the Union market.

Changes vis-a-vis some third countries (excluding the EU)

(54) With regards to the claims pertaining to changes to the US Section 232 vis-a-vis other third countries, the data available to the Commission showed that the following changes to the US Section 232 measure had taken place:

Since March 2018, Australia is exempted from the measure.

Since May 2018, Korea, Argentina and Brazil are subject to absolute quotas (out of which no exports are permitted).

Since May 2019, Mexico and Canada announced separate agreements with the U.S., which led to a lifting of the measure for the two countries. The agreements are subject to a monitoring mechanism.

As of 1 April 2022, the U.S. established tariff rate quotas (TRQs) for Japan. A certain amount of in-quota imports are exempted from the measure, while out of quota imports are subject to the additional 25% duty.

In March 2022, the U.S. announced its intention to establish a TRQ for UK whereby certain amount of in-quota imports will be exempted from the measure, while out of quota imports will remain subject to the additional 25% duty. The TRQ for UK was scheduled to enter into force as of 1 June 2022.

(55) The investigation concluded that these adjustments to the US Section 232 have in overall terms little impact on the functioning and rationale of our safeguard measure for a number of reasons. First, to put these changes into perspective, most of these countries barely export currently any steel to the Union (if at all)

In 2021, the import share of Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Argentina in the Union market was 0.9%.

, and they are not historical suppliers either

The combined share of imports into the Union from Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Argentina in the period 2013-2021 was 2.25% of total imports (and reaching a peak of only 3.7% in 2016).

. Amongst the few countries with more meaningful export volumes to the Union, namely UK, Japan and Korea, the three of them continue to be subject to the US Section 232 measure, i.e. they are constrained to export free-of-duty to the US market. In fact, Korea is allowed to export only under a quota (quantitative restriction), without the possibility to export beyond that volume, and the UK and Japan are subject to a TRQ out of which a 25% duty applies. In addition, having a TRQ in place does not necessarily mean that these countries will be able to use effectively the volumes allocated to it, as shown by the example of the TRQ allocated to the EU. Lastly, most of the origins representing the bulk of imports to the Union continue to be subject to a 25% duty on their exports to the US.

(56) In this respect, the risk of trade diversion stems, primarily, from the main steel supplying countries to the Union, which have (in some cases rather large) spare capacities and thus are able to increase quickly

In past functioning reviews it was shown that certain countries were able to substantially and rapidly increase their presence in the Union market, e.g. with very quick exhaustions of quotas, including additional quotas in Q4.

their presence in the Union market

It is relevant to point out that the largest exporting countries to the Union have consistently claimed (including in the submissions of this review) that the existing quotas would be severely constraining their ability to export to the Union, thus suggesting that they would be able to increase their presence in the Union market in the absence of a safeguard measure.

, which as demonstrated in previous investigations is an attractive market in terms of prices and size.

See Section 3.1.2.g of Prolongation Regulation for a more detailed assessment. In terms of volumes, the Union market continues to be the main steel importing market worldwide. See OECD’s Steel Market Developments – Q2 2022, (DSTI/SC(2022)1), table 8.

(57) In addition, parties have not shown (or even mentioned) in their submissions how the findings made by the Commission in previous investigations

See, for instance, the Commission’s findings in Section 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 of the Prolongation Regulation.

would have changed substantially. Notably the global overcapacity in the steel sector that continues to persist

See, for instance, the Chair’s Statement at the 91st Session of the OECD Steel Committee (29-31 March 2022): excess capacity, which stood at 544 million tonnes in 2021 and has remained at persistently elevated levels since 2018, highlighting the need for further capacity reductions in the relevant jurisdictions. Accessible at: 91st Session of the OECD Steel Committee - Chair's Statement - OECD;

See also OECD’s Latest Developments in Steelmaking Capacity, p.4 and 6 (DSTI/SC(2022)3: Global excess capacity in steel continues to grow. Global crude steelmaking capacity increased by 6.0 million metric tonnes (mmt), or 0.2%, to 2454,3 mmt in 2021;

See also G7’s Trade Ministers’ Joint Communiqué of 21 October 2021: We reaffirmed the importance of the Global Forum on Steel Excess Capacity (GFSEC) as a forum that can help address the issue of global steel excess capacity in a multilateral framework.

, the substantial reduction of imports into the US market as compared to the period prior to the imposition of the US Section 232 measure

Imports into the US in 2021 were in overall terms 21% lower than in the year 2017, i.e. pre-US Section 232 measure.

or the lack of substitute markets for the lost volumes

Volumes of exports lost, inter alia, to US and Union markets, as well as to other third markets. For more details see Section 3.1.2 of Prolongation Regulation.

, among others.

(58) In any event, the improvement in the access to the US market from certain third countries shown in recital (54) would, if anything, make it even more difficult to the rest of countries to export to the US market as they are comparatively in a worse competitive position by having to pay a 25% duty. In fact, the pace of reduction of imports of the countries not subject to any preferential access under the US Section 232 measure was substantially higher than the average

The reduction of imports among countries with relevant exports to the Union which are not benefitting from any preferential treatment under the US Section 232 measure, including inter alia China, India, Russia, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine and the UK was of -48% as opposed to an overall reduction in imports of -21% (see footnote 34). Source: United States International Trade Commission - https://dataweb.usitc.gov

. Therefore, the adjustments to the US measure could even further increase the likelihood of trade diversion from those third countries not benefitting from any kind of preferential treatment under the Section 232 measure, some of which are in turn the countries more liable to cause a surge in imports to the Union market.

Conclusion

(59) For the reasons set out in this subsection, the Commission concluded that the changes to the US Section 232 measure do not affect the functioning of the EU steel safeguard and do not alter the basis underpinning its assessment regarding the risk of trade diversion.

1. COMMENTS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES

(60) In addition to the issues addressed in Section 3, interested parties made other claims that are addressed in this section.

4.1.

Claims to terminate or suspend the measure due to steel price developments in the Union

(61) In the course of the investigation and after the written stage of the proceeding finished, several interested parties reached out to the Commission spontaneously claiming that the safeguard measure should be suspended or terminated due to an increase of steel prices in the Union. These parties argued that terminating or suspending the safeguard would be the solution to bring steel prices to lower levels.

(62) In the first place, the scope of the review did not include a potential termination or suspension of the measure. Therefore, the type of evidence gathered and the analysis undertaken during the investigation was not of the same kind that a potential termination of a safeguard measure would have required. Thus, the termination of the safeguard measure was out of the scope of the present review.

(63) Nevertheless, and for the sake of completeness, the Commission considered it appropriate to put these claims into context and to provide a factual analysis of recent market developments in the present regulation. In this regard, the Commission established that the evolution of steel prices in the Union showed an upwards trend in the early months of 2022, peaking just following the unprovoked and unjustified military aggression of Russia against Ukraine, and that they showed signs of a continuous decline (with a 21% decrease as compared to the peak reached in 2022

Taking Hot-Rolled Flat price in the Union as a reference (comparing the peak reached in mid-March with data in mid-May 2022).

) as of end-April 2022

.

(64) This trend in prices took place in an overall inflationary context, affecting also steelmaking raw materials and energy. In its Short Range Outlook

See WorldSteel Association, Short Range Outlook, April 2022, available at: worldsteel Short Range Outlook April 2022 - worldsteel.org

for 2022 and 2023, the World Steel Association (WSA) noted that the unprovoked and unjustified military aggression of Russia against Ukraine will increase further the inflationary pressure, on the one hand, via higher energy and raw materials prices for steel production and, on the other hand, via continued supply chain disruptions. This was further confirmed by the most recent information available on steelmaking raw materials’ price evolution (including energy) from sources such as the OECD

See OECD’s Economic and Social Impacts and Policy Implications of the War in Ukraine, 29 March 2022, pages 7 and 8, available at: https://www.oecd.org/industry/ind/Item_3.1_Economic_and_financial_market_Impacts.pdf

See also 91st Session of the OECD Steel Committee - Chair's Statement, available at: https://www.oecd.org/sti/ind/91-oecd-steel-chair-statement.htm; Increased stress on global supply chains, including semiconductor chip shortages, rising energy costs and the prospects for higher interest rates due to accelerating inflation were dampening industrial activity and global demand for steel. (…) The impacts are being felt directly as a significant negative supply shock on steel and raw materials from Russia and Ukraine, affecting the European steel industry in particular, leading to surging steel and raw material prices. The global steel industry is also suffering from indirect impacts such as higher energy and production costs as well as a slowdown in global economic growth that will dampen steel demand considerably going forward.

, showing a price surge and an overall upwards trend with levels substantially higher than in previous periods.

(65) The Commission’s own statistical assessment

Source: Global Trade Atlas – analysis focused on the comparison (year 2021 v. 2019) of the level of export prices by some of the main steel-producing worldwide for the categories subject to the EU steel safeguard measure. The analysis showed the following evolution of export prices from some of the main steel-producing countries in the world of the product subject to the EU Safeguard measure: China (+43%), India (+32%), Japan (+14%), Russia (+28%), South Korea (+27%), Turkey (+43%), and the UK (+21%).

also confirmed that the price trends in the main steel market worldwide had shown a similar trend to that of the Union, and thus, the price trend observed in the Union market was fully consistent with that prevailing in the main markets across the world. Against this background, the Commission concluded that in any event, the safeguard measure could not have been the cause behind the evolution of prices in the Union.

4.2.

Alleged shortage of steel in the Union

(66) Some interested parties claimed that there was a shortage of steel in the Union market and that the steel safeguard measure was aggravating it as certain quotas were exhausted. Thus, in the context of increased steel prices, they claimed that the measure should be suspended or terminated.

(67) The Commission noted that the TRQ use in the first three quarters of the fourth year of the measure (1 July 2021 – 31 March 2022) was at 77%, i.e. more than 5.6 million tonnes of quota remained unused, as shown in the table below. Thus, showing that Union users had generally the possibility to further increase the imports of free-of-duty steel during each period. While this did not preclude that there may have been more tensions in the quota use in certain categories as compared to others, the majority of product categories have had free-of-duty quota available in every quarter.

Table 1

Evolution of TRQ use in the first three quarters of year 4

Source: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/dds2/taric/quota_consultation.jsp

(68) The Commission also observed that the level of imports in 2021 was very close to the peak of imports reached 2018

The volume of imports in 2021 was only 1.5% lower than that in 2018.

. In addition, the World Steel Association (WSA) Short Range Outlook

See World Steel Short Range Outlook, accessible at: worldsteel Short Range Outlook of 14 April 2022 - worldsteel.org

for 2022 and 2023 highlighted the uncertainty in the economic outlook. The steel market outlook for 2022 has weakened notably as a result of the war and steel demand is expected to grow by 0.4% in 2022 and by 2.2% in 2023.

(69) Against this background, and considering that the level of quotas will be increased further by 4% as of 1 July 2022, as explained in Section 3.4, the Commission considered that any of the alleged pressure in certain segments of the market should in any event be alleviated, while preserving the effectiveness of the measure.

4.3.

Claims to suspend the measure due to the impact of the import ban on imports from Russia and Belarus on certain users

(70) Some interested parties argued that the import ban on Russia and Belarus was affecting substantially their ability to import, claiming that the Commission should terminate the measure on these grounds.

(71) In this regard the Commission observed that the instability caused by the unprovoked and unjustified military aggression of Russia against Ukraine and by the ensuing sanctions on steel imposed by the EU are unavoidable factors present in the market and to which all stakeholders need to adjust progressively.

(72) The Commission nevertheless took immediate action under the safeguard measure to minimise as much as possible the collateral damage of the import ban by redistributing the quotas effective since April 2022. This adjustment to the measure will alleviate largely the disturbances caused to certain users by the import ban on Russia and Belarus, by allowing them to access those free-of-duty volumes from other origins. However, inevitably it will necessarily take some time for Union users to adapt to this situation and switch to suppliers of other origin

In this respect, Article 3.g of Regulation (EU) 2022/428 allowed to continue importing from Russia and Belarus, under the residual quota, as long as contracts concluded before 16 March 2022, or ancillary contracts necessary for the execution of such contracts, were executed by 17 June 2022.

. In particular, the Commission acknowledged that in some instances, certain users would require a virtually complete change of suppliers, as their dependence on Russian and/or Belarussian steel imports was very high. However, the existence of these sanctions in the field of steel cannot by themselves question the validity or necessity of the safeguard measure.

4.4.

Requests to redistribute quotas from Ukraine

(73) Some interested parties requested the Commission to redistribute the country-specific quotas allocated to Ukraine because due to the unprovoked and unjustified military aggression of Russia against Ukraine, Ukraine would not be in a position to export to the Union in meaningful volumes. Some of these parties suggested the Commission to follow the same approach used when redistributing the quotas from Russia and Belarus.

(74) The Commission’s analysis of Ukraine’s quota use prior to the suspension of the safeguard regulation as explained in recital (9) showed that in the majority of product categories where it had a country-specific quota, it had continued making use of the quotas. For those categories where it did not record exports, the Commission globalized the quotas from all other origins subject to the measure in each of those product categories, as explained in Section 3.1.1 above. The Commission recalled that quotas that would belong Ukraine (in the absence of a suspension), would not be available as long as the suspension of the measure vis-a-vis this country remains in place.

4.5.

Requests for differential treatment among certain product categories

(75) Several interested parties made requests pertaining to specific product categories (these categories varied depending on the party making the request). These requests included the exclusion of a given product category from the measure, a differential treatment of a given origin within a certain product category, and the application of different level of liberalisation depending on the product category.

(76) As the Commission explained in previous regulations, the scope of the measure concerns a single product, namely certain steel products. As such, the Commission cannot treat the product categories comprising the product concerned as if they were individually a product concerned in themselves. The Commission, in the management and quota administration, and where it was in the Union interest, adjusted the measure to ensure that the objectives of the safeguard could be met. However, the Commission cannot change the basic architecture of the measure, e.g. definition of the product scope, to accommodate requests from interested parties that would lead to a discriminatory treatment vis-a-vis other product categories and interested parties, and more importantly, would be inconsistent with the design of the measure and the product scope defined by the Definitive Regulation.

4.6.

Requests to remove the safeguard in those categories subject to anti-dumping and/or countervailing measures

(77) Some interested parties claimed that the Commission lifted the safeguard measure for those product categories that are subject to anti-dumping and/or countervailing duties as, they claimed, they would grant the Union industry sufficient protection.

(78) The Commission recalled that the rationale and objective of the safeguard instrument and that of other trade defence instruments is different, as they do not address the same issues. While safeguards deal with increase imports being the result of unforeseen developments, anti-dumping and countervailing instruments deal with unfair trading practices. One can consider a situation where a country is found to be dumping in a given product category at a point in time, and that later on, a surge of imports resulting from unforeseen developments nevertheless takes place

from a combination of origins. In addition, the scope of both instruments in terms of the origins covered is usually substantially different, as so are the types of investigations conducted, including procedural rules. Applying both instruments on a given product category simultaneously is thus fully compatible under both WTO and EU rules

In this respect, the Commission recalled that Regulation (EU) 2015/477 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 2015 on measures that the Union may take in relation to the combined effect of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard measures (OJ L 83, 27.3.2015, p. 11), properly deals with the interaction of safeguard and anti-dumping and countervailing measures. See also judgment of 20 October 2021, Novolipetsk Steel PAO v. Commission, T-790/19, ECLI:EU:T:2021:706.

.

4.7.

Request to increase UK TRQs to include Great Britain-Northern Ireland trade

(79) Some interested parties argued that the quotas allocated to the UK should increase to take into account the historical trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

(80) In this respect, the Commission recalled that the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland (the Protocol)

Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community (Withdrawal Agreement), OJ L 63, 31.1.2020, p. 7.

is the relevant legal act governing the status of Northern Ireland vis-a-vis EU trade and customs rules. Therefore, and in line with the provisions of the Protocol, sales of steel into Northern Ireland (whether from Great Britain or any other third country) were not counted as historical imports into the Union and hence were not part of the quota calculation

See Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/2037 of 10 December 2020 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/159 imposing a definitive safeguard measure against imports of certain steel products (OJ L 416, 11.12.2020, p. 32).

. This approach ensured that the EU implementing legislation in the field of safeguards remains fully consistent with the Protocol. Therefore, this claim was rejected.

4.8.

Claims on alleged circumvention

(81) Some parties pointed to possible cases of circumvention of the measure. In particular, some parties pointed to alleged circumvention from Russia in categories 12 and 13, and in general, in category 28.

(82) In this respect, the Commission notes that Russia is currently subject to an import ban. Thus, any attempts to circumvent the current measures are monitored by the EU and national customs authorities.

(83) Finally, the Commission notes that the present review amending the ongoing safeguard measure also complies with the obligations arising from the bilateral Agreements signed with certain third countries.

(84) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on Safeguards established under Article 3(3) of Regulation (EU) 2015/478 and Article 22(3) of Regulation (EU) 2015/755 respectively,
