The Eurometal Association has called for the harmonization of European regulations to support the steel industry's decarbonization efforts. Eurometal emphasized this during a stakeholder roundtable at the European Parliament, focusing on enhancing European competitiveness amid the green transition.

Key issues discussed included the need for faster and more predictable legislation, optimizing the EU regulatory framework, and reducing energy costs, particularly electricity, to maintain industrial competitiveness. Dominique Laurent, Managing Director of BELMETAL and Eurometal representative, highlighted the necessity for clear, stable regulation on CBAM, CSRD, and ESPR to aid investment planning. Additionally, stimulating demand for low-carbon steel and implementing targeted re-skilling programs for value chain actors, including SMEs, were underscored.

Laurent also stressed recognizing steel reuse in ESG and public procurement policies, and supporting logistics infrastructure with cost-effective, low-emission transportation solutions. Eurometal has previously discussed CBAM issues with the European Commission, noting the importance of including key TARIC codes to prevent carbon leakage and protect European manufacturing competitiveness.

According to data from the IndexBox platform, the European steel market is expected to experience shifts due to these regulatory changes, with a focus on sustainable practices potentially driving new growth areas.
