NOTIFICATION PURSUAN T TO ARTICLE 9, FOOT NOTE 2  
OF THE AGREEMENT ON SAFEGUARDS  
EUROPEAN UNION 
Supplement  
The following notification, dated  12 August 2019 , is being circulated at the request of the delegation 
of the European Union . 
 
_______________  
 
Pursuant to Articles 12.1(c) of the Agreement on Safeguards, the European Union ( 'the Union ')1 
submits a notification of proposed adjustments to saf eguard measures following a Review 
investigation. This notification contains all pertinent information relating to the proposed 
adjustments to safeguard measures in accordance with Article 12.2 of the Agreement on Safeguards 
and an offer of consultations p ursuant to Article 12.3 of the Agreement on Safeguards.  
1) Recital (161) and Article 9 of Regulation (EU) 2019/159 ( 'the definitive Regulation ') noted that 
based on the Union interest, the Commission "may have to adjust the level or allocation of the 
tariff-rate quota . . . in case of changes of circumstances during the period of imposition of the 
measures " and that such a review should commence "no later than 1 July 2019 ". In light of that 
consideration, on 17 May 20192, the Commission initiated a Review of t he definitive Regulation  
(G/SG/N/10/EU/1/Suppl.2 ) 
2) The European Commission ( 'the Commission ') invited parties to make their views known, submit 
information, and provide supporting evidence concerning the five grounds of review identified 
by the Commission i n the Notice of Initiation of the Review Investigation. Interested parties 
were also allowed to make comments on and formulate rebuttals to each other 's comments.  
1. Provide precise description of the product involved  
3) The product concerned is certain steel  products belonging to the 26 steel product categories 
listed in Annex I.  
2. Provide precise description of the proposed measure  
4) It is proposed to introduce several adjustments to the definitive safeguard measures that are 
in place since 2 February 2019. The summary of the findings and corresponding adjustment

steel products (C/2019/3623) OJ C 169, 17.5.2019, p. 9 (hereafter "Notice of Initiation of the Review 
Investigation").  G/SG/N/10/EU/1/Suppl.3 • G/SG/N/11/EU/1/Suppl.3

  proposals is organised within the five sub -categories corresponding to th e five grounds of review 
identified in the Notice of Initiation of the Review Investigation.  
5) Through these adjustments, the Commission has considered to strike an appropriate balance 
between the legitimate rights of the different parties in line with the U nion interest.  
A. Level and allocation of the Tariff -Rate Quota ( 'TRQ') for a number of product 
categories  
6) In the Notice of Initiation of the Review Investigation, the Commission announced that it would 
investigate whether changed circumstances had occurred since the adoption of the definitive 
measures, including whether there was evidence of a substantial increase or contraction in 
Union demand, a risk of shortage of supply, or an unduly restriction to the ability to export to 
the EU. 
7) As a result of the analysis carried out, the Commission has concluded that, in overall terms, the 
TRQ levels established in the definitive measures did not unduly restrict trade flows but rather 
ensured that traditional trade flows were maintained comm ensurate with the Union market 
needs. In this respect, the Commission has observed that, during the first year of application 
of the safeguard measures, over 3,2 million tonnes free -of-duty imports were not used. 
Moreover, no meaningful evidence of alleged  offer shortfall caused by increased demand has 
been provided by interested parties.  
8) Nevertheless, when looking into specific product categories, the Commission has concluded that 
a series of adjustments to the allocation of TRQ are necessary to improve it s functioning for the 
following individual product categories: 1 (hot -rolled flat products), 4 (metallic coated sheets), 
and 25 (large welded tubes).  
Category 1 (hot -rolled flats)  
9) In the definitive safeguard measures, the Commission concluded that it was i n the Union 's 
interest to adopt a single system of global TRQ administered on a quarterly basis for this product 
category, in order to avoid the risk of shortage a country -specific allocation could unduly 
generate.  
10) However, in the framework of the Review, the Commission has observed relevant changes in 
the evolution of imports for this category on the basis of more recent statistical data on imports. 
These statistics cover the full year 2018 (not fully available at the time of adopting the definitive 
safegu ard measures) and the TRQ use during the first period of application of definitive 
measures (2 February – 30 June 2019).  
11) With respect to category 1, the Commission has noted that Russia, despite being subjected to 
anti-dumping measures, has recovered a sub stantial part of its historical trading volume. In 
addition, some of the other countries subject to anti -dumping measures were able to continue 
exporting, though in smaller amounts. In view of this evolution of imports, which could not be 
foreseen when the  definitive safeguard measures were adopted, the Commission has found that 
the level of imports significantly affected by trade defence measures is substantially lower than 
expected.  
12) The Commission has also noted that other exporting countries, most notabl y Turkey, India and 
Serbia, have been able to replace the import shares lost by those countries that reduced their 
level of imports following the imposition of the anti -dumping and countervailing measures. 
Thus, the risk of potential shortage of supply has  been substantially reduced.  
13) Accordingly, the Commission has considered that it would be in the Union 's interest to amend 
the TRQ allocation for product category 1 and make it more akin with the mechanism used for 
the other product categories to ensure the  preservation of trade flow origins to the best extent 
possible.  
14) In this respect, however, the preferred system to guarantee trade flow origins under the 
definitive measures, namely a combination of a country -specific and a global residual TRQ, is G/SG/N/10/EU/1/Suppl.3 • G/SG/N/11/EU/1/Suppl.3  
 
- 3 - 
 
  not app ropriate for category 1, because the relevant period used for establishing country -
specific TRQ under the definitive measures, namely 2015 -2017, would cause substantial offer 
shortfall.  
15) Therefore, the Commission has decided that the most appropriate way to  ensure the 
preservation of traditional trade flows for category 1, in both volume and origin terms, is to 
establish a limitation of 30% to the share in the global quota that any single exporting country 
can reach per quarter during the remaining duration of the measures.  
Category 4 (Metallic coated sheets)  
16) In the definitive Regulation, the Commission decided that it was in the Union interest to split 
category 4 (metallic coated sheets) into two sub -categories: 4A and 4B. The objective of that 
split was to preserve, to the best extent possible, the traditional level of imports for the EU 
automotive sector.  
17) As part of the Review, the Commission has received numerous submissions highlighting that 
the current sub -division is not entirely effective in meeting it s intended objectives. The 
Commission 's analysis upon review of the definitive measures confirms that traditional trade 
flows for products falling within category 4B have indeed been disturbed.  
18) Accordingly, the Commission has considered it in the Union int erest to adjust the functioning of 
the TRQ for category 4, in such a way that the use of category 4B is restricted to only imports 
that can demonstrate an end -use in the automotive sector.  
19) To this end, imports under category 4B will continue being subjecte d to the safeguard measures 
but, as regards formal requirements, will be placed under the end -use procedure referred to in 
Article 254 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013.3 
20) As a consequence, an adjustment to the relevant CN codes falling under categories 4A and  4B 
is necessary. The scope of 4A will be extended to also include all CN codes previously falling 
within category 4B. At the same time, the scope of category 4B would be kept unchanged.  
21) As the information available to the Commission on imports from India indicates that this country 
does not export any relevant quantities for use in the automotive sector, India will be granted 
a single country -specific TRQ under 4A (combining the volumes of the country -specific quotas 
previously allocated under 4A and 4B). Except for this change, the current allocation of TRQ to 
the remaining exporting countries would in principle remain unchanged.  
Category 25 (large welded tubes)  
22) The analysis of the relevant import data has showed that imports from Russia, which is the 
country with the largest country -specific TRQ, have sharply declined after a massive surge in 
2017. This consistent downward trend has accelerated during the period of application of 
definitive safeguard measures in line with the decreasing needs of an ad -hoc engineering 
project. Therefore, Russia has largely underused its country -specific TRQ during the first period 
of measures, while other exporting countries have showed a consistent high use of their 
country -specific and global TRQ.  
23) The Commission has thus c onsidered that it is necessary to replace the existing TRQ with a 
single global TRQ administered on a quarterly basis. This change is more apt to limit the risk of 
potential shortage of supply stemming from an inadequate allocation of TRQs. At the same tim e, 
it ensures adequate diversity of supply and equal opportunities for all potential suppliers to 
participate in any new engineering project requiring this product category.  
B. 'Crowding out ' of traditional trade flows  
24) The Notice of Initiation of the Review Investigation pointed out that, for certain product 
categories, one or several countries benefiting from a country -specific TRQ had rapidly 
                                                
3 OJ L 269, 10.1 0.2013, p. 1 –101 G/SG/N/10/EU/1/Suppl.3 • G/SG/N/11/EU/1/Suppl.3  
 
- 4 - 
 
  exhausted the global residual TRQ during the last quarter, crowding out tradi tional import flows 
from other origins. The Commission therefore committed to investigating whether this fact had 
adversely affected the Union 's interest, in particular regarding the need to maintain traditional 
trade flows by origin and, where appropriate , to decide on potential remedies for this situation.  
25) The Commission 's analysis under the Review has revealed that, for two product categories, 
namely 13 (rebars) and 16 (wire rod), the mechanism put in place to ensure that the TRQ is 
fully used has led to  unintended effects. In fact, for these two product categories, smaller 
supplying countries that had regularly used the global TRQ in the period 2 February – 31 March 
2019 were not able to export in the last quarter any substantial volumes under the TRQ, b ecause 
other countries benefiting from a country -specific TRQ had used virtually the whole residual 
TRQ in the last quarter, sometimes in a matter of days.  
26) The Commission has therefore considered it necessary to put in place a quantitative cap of 30% 
per s upplying country of product categories 13 and 16 during the last quarter during the 
remaining life of the measures.  
27) Such a cap would not artificially restrict the access to the residual TRQ to any particular origin 
and would guarantee sufficient variety in  the sources of supply for users in the Union.  
C. Potential detrimental effects in achieving the integration objectives pursued with 
preferential trading partners  
28) The Commission has also investigated whether the functioning of the existing definitive 
measu res has caused any substantial risk to the stabilisation or economic development of 
certain preferential trading partners, namely Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of North 
Macedonia and the Republic of Serbia, to an extent that would be detrimental to the integration 
objectives of their agreements with the Union.  
29) This analysis has showed that, for the product categories exported by these countries, either 
there were still volumes available under their country -specific TRQ at the end of the first period 
of application of the measures (30 June 2019), or that, when they were exhausted, these 
countries were able to continue exporting to the Union until the exhaustion of the corresponding 
residual quotas. Furthermore, when such exhaustion happened it was gene rally only a few 
weeks before the release of new quotas for the second period of measures on 1 July 2019.  
30) In view of these elements, the Commission has concluded that the definitive measures do not 
markedly limit the ability for these countries to export s teel to the Union. This fact, coupled with 
the additional export margin that the quota increase resulting from the liberalisation of the 
measures as of 1 July 2019 will provide, has led the Commission to conclude that the current 
TRQ is not producing detri mental effects to the integration objectives.  
D. Update of the list of developing WTO member countries excluded from the scope of 
the measures based on updated import statistics  
31) Following the adoption of the definitive safeguard measures, the Commission co mmitted to 
reviewing, on a regular basis, the list of developing countries potentially excluded from the 
scope of the measures based on updated import statistics.  
32) For establishing the list of exclusions from the definitive measures, the Commission used the  
most recent data available at the date of adoption of the definitive measures, i.e. second half 
of 2017 – first half of 2018. For reviewing the list, the Commission has used a more updated 
and representative set of consolidated statistics, i.e. the full y ear 2018.  
33) The results of this analysis are presented in Annex II.  
E. Other changes of circumstances that may require an adjustment to the level of 
allocation of the TRQ  
34) When the Commission adopted the definitive measures, it decided a liberalisation pace o f 
5% + 5%, i.e. the total volume of quotas made available for the second and third period of G/SG/N/10/EU/1/Suppl.3 • G/SG/N/11/EU/1/Suppl.3  
 
- 5 - 
 
  measures (i.e. July 2019 -June 2020 and July 2020 -June 2021) should be 31,6 million tonnes 
and 33,2 million tonnes respectively. At this moment, there were no conso lidated and reliable 
imports ' statistics for 2018.  
35) Yet, at the same time, it committed to review them and make any necessary adjustment to 
keep the definitive measures adapted to the evolution of the EU steel market and the interest 
of the Union.  
36) As a matt er of consistency, the liberalisation of any safeguard measures should not undermine 
their intended effect. This intended effect is to shield the domestic market from imports for as 
long as it is necessary to prevent or remedy serious injury and to facilit ate adjustment, as 
Article 7 (1) of the WTO Agreement on Safeguards allows.  
37) The consolidated imports ' statistics for 2018 were only issued several months after the 
Commission had adopted the definitive safeguard measures. These statistics show that the tot al 
imports of steel products under measures in 2018 reached a record of 33,4 million tonnes, 
i.e. almost 5 million tonnes more than the average of 2015 -2017 and over 3 million tonnes 
above the 2017 level, which were the reference period used for the analysis contained in the 
definitive measures.  
38) The total imports of steel products under measures in 2018 were substantially higher than the 
previous years ' level, which led the Commission to adopt safeguard measures, because it caused 
a threat of serious injury to the Union industry and, therefore, was highly distorting the 
functioning of the Union market . 
39) The analysis of the 2018 imports ' record reveals that it contains substantial trade diversion 
flows and considerable out -of–measures imports that took p lace before the provisional 
measures were adopted in July 2018, and thereafter under the shipping clause in Article 4 of 
the provisional Regulation. Therefore, the acceptance under the definitive measures of imports 
of 33,2 million tonnes during the third period of measures, a similar level to that recorded in 
2018, would serve to further materialize the threat of serious injury and, in this way, would 
compromise the "effet utile " of the definitive measures.  
40) Against this background, following an in -depth as sessment of the functioning and effects of the 
existing safeguard measures, the Commission has considered it appropriate to lower the 
liberalisation to a 3% + 3% pace for the second and third period of measures. This less 
pronounced liberalisation means th at that the total quotas available during the third period will 
be limited to 31,6 million tonnes, i.e. 1,5 million tonnes below the distorting 2018 record. 
Moreover, this adjustment will fully preserve the liberalisation effect, because the total quotas 
during the second year would be 31 million tonnes and so are about one million tonnes more 
than the level of imports measured during 2017. Moreover, this pace represents a more evenly 
distributed effort to facilitate the adjustment of the Union industry, wi th quota increases of 0,9 
and 0,9 at the end of the first and second period of measures, and 1,5 million tonnes, to possibly 
reach the 2018 level, only after the expiration of the three -year duration foreseen in WTO and 
Union law.  
41) This lowered liberalisati on pace is also in line with the most -recently published general economy 
and industrial outlooks, which foresee a growth reduction for the Union and the world economy.  
*** 
42) Following the adjustments described in sections A to E, the tariff -rate quota and th e allocation 
of quotas among supplying countries are set out in Annex III.  
3. Provide proposed date of introduction of the measure  
43) The proposed date for the entry into force of the adjustments to the measures is 1 October 
2019.  G/SG/N/10/EU/1/Suppl.3 • G/SG/N/11/EU/1/Suppl.3  
 
- 6 - 
 
  4. Provide expected duration of the measure  
44) The measures are expected to be in place until 30 June 2021, as foreseen by recital (187) of 
Regulation (EU) 2019/159.  
5. For a measure with a duration of more than three years, provide the proposed date 
for the review (under Articl e 7.4) to be held not later than the mid -term of the measure, 
if such a date for the review has already been scheduled  
45) Not applicable  
6. If the expected duration is over one year, provide expected timetable for progressive 
liberalisation of the measure  
46) Following the adjustment to the liberalisation pace referred to in section 2.E above, the 
definitive measures will be liberalised by increasing the level of the TRQ for all product 
categories by 3% for the second period of measures (1 July 2019 – 30 June 2020 ) and by an 
additional 3% for the last period of measures (1 July 2020 – 30 June 2021).  
For this purpose, on 1 October 2019 (i.e. the beginning of the second quarter of the second 
period of measures) the remaining quotas for the second period of measures w ill be adjusted 
downwards, so that the total increase for the period is 3%. In addition, on 1 July 2020, that is, 
at the end of the second period of measures, all the free -of-duty quotas will be further increased 
by an additional 3%.  
7. Provide information  relating to the extension of a safeguard measure  
47) Not applicable  
8. Exclusion of certain countries from the scope of the definitive measures  
48) The Review of the definitive measures shows that imports of certain product categories 
originating in a series of d eveloping countries meet the requirements of Article 9 of the WTO 
Agreement on Safeguards and should therefore be excluded.  
49) The list of countries unconditionally excluded from the definitive measures as set out in recitals 
(190) to (193) of Regulation (EU)  2019/159 were not subject to the Review and thus continue 
to be excluded from the measures.  
9. Procedures relevant to the decision to apply the measures and information 
regarding procedures for prior consultations with those Members having a substantial 
interest as exporters of the product concerned  
50) Members having a substantial interest as exporters of the product subject to the investigation 
that wish to consult with the European Union may make a request through the EU Mission in 
Geneva. These consultati ons shall be held (either in the form of a meeting in Brussels or via 
videoconference) preferably during the period 15 August – 30 August 2019 .
