Commission imposes definitive safeguard measures on certain ferroalloys 

Ferroalloys are important for making steel, helping to improve its strength, hardness, and resistance to corrosion. They are crucial in the construction, automotive, aerospace or military industries, for example, improving the quality and performance of steel in sectors where high-performance and durability are vital.

The decision to impose definitive measures follows a safeguard investigation initiated in December 2024, which concluded that an influx of these imports into the EU is causing serious injury to the EU-based ferroalloy industry.

The Commission has ensured that the measures imposed today are compatible with the EU’s commitments under existing bilateral or regional trade agreements with third countries.

More information is available in the press release.
