Press release: CBAM proposals single out key loopholes but fall short of ensuring comprehensive and structural solutions, warns EUROFER

Strasbourg, 17 December 2025 – The European Commission’s latest proposals on the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), unveiled today, correctly identify several loopholes that risk undermining its effectiveness, notably regarding EU exports, downstream sectors and circumvention practices. However, despite these laudable efforts, the measures put forward fail to deliver a comprehensive and durable response to carbon and jobs leakage, warns the European Steel Association (EUROFER).

Press release: Persisting downside risks ground growth as high uncertainty keeps dominating European steel market

Brussels, 02 December 2025 – Unchanged negative conditions – U.S. tariffs and trade disruptions, economic and geopolitical tensions, protracted weak demand and still high energy prices – continue to weigh on the European steel market. EUROFER’s latest Economic and Steel Market Outlook confirms for 2025 another recession in both apparent steel consumption (-0.2%, unchanged) and steel-using sectors (-0.5%, revised from -0.7%). A potential recovery is expected only in 2026 for the Steel Weighted Industrial Production index (SWIP) (+1.8%, stable) and for apparent steel consumption (+3%, slightly revised from +3.1%) – although consumption volumes would still remain well below pre-pandemic levels. Steel imports retained historically high shares (27%), while exports plummeted (-9%) in the first eight months of 2025.
