The European Union has decided to apply the 50% out-of-quota duties foreseen in a new steel regulation enacted at the end of June to free trade agreement partners Albania, Israel, Jordan, Morocco, North Macedonia, Serbia, Switzerland and Tunisia. It also targeted Türkiye with which it is in a customs union.

EU access to the United Kingdom's steel market will fall by up to 53% from 1 July, when the country's new tariff rate quota regime for steel comes into effect.
