"I would like to welcome the latest developments on the Commission's front that today will announce a package for the overcapacity of the industry steel, with the reduction of quotas for the import of Chinese steel in the European market and the increase in duties steel sold at dumped prices. I think it's a very welcome and urgently needed measure."
