A coalition of over three hundred and fifty European companies, coordinated by EUROMETAL, has formally called on the European Commission to overhaul trade defence rules, expand carbon border measures, and cap industrial electricity at five cents per kilowatt-hour. The initiative, unveiled at Wire & Tube 2026 in Düsseldorf, warns that thirteen million direct jobs face acute risk. Forty national associations back the push, describing the alignment as unprecedented across the steel value chain.
