EU Trade Commissioner Malmstrom has asserted that the EU should be excluded from additional tariffs on U.S. imports of steel and aluminum scheduled to be applied from March 23, 2018. However, if the EU were not to be exempt, the European Commission has prepared wide ranging retaliatory measures that include agriculture. On Friday, March 16, 2018, the European Commission’s DG Trade launched a public consultation on the announced U.S. tariff increases on imports of steel and aluminum and possible EU retaliatory measures. The deadline for input is 12:00 am (Universal Time Coordinated + 01:00) Brussels, Monday, March 26, 2018.
