NOTIFICATION UNDER ARTICLE 12 OF THE  
AGREEMENT ON SAFEGUARDS  
EUROPEAN UNION 
Certain steel products  
Supplement  
The following notification, dated 2 9 May 2020, 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 ') 
submits a notification of proposed adjustments to safeguard measures following a Review 
investigation. This notification contains all pertinent in formation relating to the proposed 
adjustments to safeguard measures in accordance with Article 12.2 of the Agreement on Safeguards 
and an offer of consultations pursuant to Article 12.3 of the Agreement on Safeguards.  
1. Provide precise description of the pr oduct involved  
(1) The product concerned is certain steel products belonging to the 26 steel product categories 
listed in Annex I to this Notification.  
2. Provide precise description of the proposed measure  
Legal basis  
(2) Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2019/159 ( 'the definitive Regulation ')1 noted that based on the 
Union interest, the European Commission ( '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". 
(3) On 14 February 2020, the Commission initiated a Review of the definitive Regulation and 
invited parties to make their views known, submit information, and provi de supporting 
evidence concerning the five grounds of review identified by the Commission in the Notice of 
Initiation of the Review Investigation. Due process took place under a two -stage written 
procedure. In the first stage, the Commission received submi ssions from interested parties. 
In the second stage, interested parties were allowed to cross comment and rebut other parties ' 
initial submissions.

  Substantial change in market circumstances  
(4) In October 2019, the Commission adopted a first package of adjust ments to the EU steel 
safeguard measures. Nobody could foresee at that time that several months later, the 
COVID -19 pandemic could make the world economy suddenly plunge in the most severe 
recession since at least the Global Financial Crisis of 2009. The m agnitude and sharpness of 
the economic shock has been brutal in terms of output, fixed investment, lay -offs, and 
demand.  
(5) As the economic shock produced by the COVID -19 pandemic represents a fundamental and 
exceptional change in circumstances substantially affecting the functioning of the steel 
market, the Commission finds it necessary to consider its effects when shaping the 
adjustments under the second Review.  
(6) In the current situation of slump in demand and ensuing drastic reduction in sales, affecting 
virtually all steel product categories, coupled with a horizon of high uncertainty and likely 
strong geographical asymmetries in the speed and timing of the recovery, it is fundamental 
that the gradual resumption of activity and return to normality takes plac e in an orderly 
manner, in such a way that all participants in the EU steel market find their traditional place 
without undue advantages linked to the asymmetry of the rebound.  
(7) In shaping the proposed adjustments, the Commission has therefore aimed at secu ring an 
orderly and smooth return of imports and domestic production to the EU market. The proposed 
adjustments should deter any undue stockpiling behaviour in the very early phases of the 
recovery that could empty the market in an opportunistic manner, to  the detriment of 
exporters and the EU steel industry. These opportunistic practices not only seriously endanger 
the obligation to preserve traditional trade flows in terms of origins, but also risks unduly 
displacing domestic production in a way that coul d compromise the remedial effects of the 
original safeguard measures.  
Adjustments under the 2nd Review  
(8) The Commission proposes to introduce several adjustments to the ongoing safeguard 
measures. They adjustments proposed are described below under headers c orresponding to 
the grounds of review identified in the Notice of Initiation of the Review Investigation.  
(9) Through these adjustments, the Commission has considered to strike an appropriate balance 
between the legitimate rights of the different parties in li ne with the European Union interest.  
A. Level and allocation of the Tariff -Rate Quota ( 'TRQ') for a number of product 
categories  
General adjustments  
(10)  In order to guarantee an orderly return to the market of all suppliers, both domestic industry 
and exporters, and minimise undue opportunistic conducts, the Commission considers it 
necessary to introduce two general adjustments to the TRQs administration.  
(11)  The first one is to move to a quarterly management of all country -specific quotas; this 
adjustment will ensure  a more stable flow of imports and minimise the risk of undue import 
surge during the remaining duration of the measures.  
(12)  A second complementary adjustment is to introduce a refined access regime for the access to 
the residual quota of countries benefiting  from country -specific quota. This adjustment will 
ring-fence, where appropriate, the use of the residual quota for the incumbent smaller 
exporting countries falling within this global section of the TRQs and minimise the risk that 
they are crowded out by those exporters enjoying country -specific quotas. This second 
adjustments will be developed further under the Section B on crowding out below.  G/SG/N/10/EU/1/Suppl.7

 Adjustments to the TRQ administration in specific product categories  
Category 1 (Hot -rolled flat products)  
(13)  This product category is subject to a global TRQ only. This is an exception to the otherwise 
preferred system, applied to almost all other product categories, of a combination of country -
specific quotas for the largest historical suppliers with r esidual quotas for the rest.  
(14)  The TRQ use in this category has experienced a consistent sharp decline throughout the period 
reaching an average use of 54% during the second and third quarter of the second year of 
measures. This substantial reduction in TRQ  use took place in a period that was not yet 
affected by the shock of the COVID -19 pandemic. This strongly suggests that it is very unlikely 
that any future recovery of EU demand in the course of the third year of measures would be 
of such a magnitude so a s to eventually reach a full or very high TRQ use in this product 
category.  
(15)  The Commission finds that the risk of potential shortage of supply it tried to prevent with the 
globalization of the TRQ under the definitive measures does no longer exist in the c urrent 
circumstances. Accordingly, the Commission proposes to discontinue the exceptional global 
administration of the TRQ in this product category and apply the default system of combined 
country -specific and residual quota, which is in place for almost a ll other product categories.  
(16)  Therefore, as from 1 July 2020, the TRQ for product category 1 will consist of country -specific 
quotas for those countries whose level of imports in this category reached at least 5% in the 
relevant reference period 2015 -2017,  and of a residual global quota for the rest. This TRQ will 
be administered quarterly. A cap of 30% share will nevertheless continue applying  to the use 
of the residual quota in the fourth quarter to prevent crowding -out effects .2 
(17)  The Commission continues to consider that the default TRQ system combining country -specific 
and residual quotas is the most suitable system to ensure the preservation of traditional trade 
flows in terms of both volumes and origins. Therefore, it is in the overall Union interest to 
implement it in this product category as soon as the conditions for it have occurred.  
Category 8 (Stainless steel hot -rolled sheets and strips)  
(18)  The Commission has observed several important changes affecting this category since t he 
previous review investigation. In the first place, on 8 April 2020 the Commission imposed 
provisional anti -dumping measures on imports of this product category originating in the 
People 's Republic of China, Indonesia and Chinese Taipei .3 Second, the Com mission has  
confirmed a consistent very low use of the country -specific TRQ by the USA .4 As a result, four 
out of the five largest exporting countries under this category are currently subject to different 
set of trade measures, which risks seriously affec ting their ability to export to the Union at 
their historical levels.  
(19)  Based on these changed circumstances, which risks producing an offer shortfall on the EU 
market for this product category, and in line with the approach taken in other product 
categories  since the adoption of definitive measures, the Commission finds it is in the Union 
interest to transfer the volumes of the country -specific quotas of all countries subjected to 
different types of trade defence measures into the residual TRQ. This adjustme nt will ensure 
that EU users have enough flexibility for switching supplying origins, should that be necessary.  
(20)  Therefore, the Commission proposes that the TRQ for product category 8 becomes a global 
TRQ administered on a quarterly basis as from 1 July 202 0. 
 
2 The 30% cap applies only to those countries which benefit from a country -specific quota and which 
may eventually access the residual quota in the last quarter of a period.  
3 OJ L 110, 8.4.2020, p. 3 . 
4 The Commission notes that in this product category, the USA is subject to a 25% duty resulting from 
EU's rebalancing measures: https://trade.ec.europa.eu/doclib/docs/2018/may/tradoc_156909.pdf . G/SG/N/10/EU/1/Suppl.7

  Category 25 (Large welded tubes)  
(21)  Under the second Review, the Commission has observed (based on a set of data not available 
at the time of the first Review investigation) a rather abnormal pattern of import flows under 
this single category, which differ s significantly from the traditional trade flows in terms of 
volumes and origins and which risks producing imbalances on the market.  
(22)  In particular, whereas over 70% of the total TRQ volume of this category corresponds to 
historical trade flows stemming fr om a number of product types mainly used in large 
engineering projects, its actual use shows that certain countries are using it to export product 
types not used in large engineering projects increasingly well beyond their traditional trade 
volumes (in som e cases with a tenfold increase) at the expense of other market players. 
Consequently, the current design of the TRQ management has created an undue crowding -out 
situation. Accordingly, to reflect more accurately the historical import flows corresponding t o 
the two sub -categories of tubes and to ensure a fairer functioning of the quota, the 
Commission finds it necessary to split this category into two: A first sub -TRQ (category 25A) 
should then include those CN codes that are normally used in large engineer ing projects5, and 
a second sub -TRQ (category 25B) the remainder CN codes not used in such projects .6 
(23)  As to the administration of these subcategories, product category 25A will consist of a single 
global TRQ to allow equal opportunities for all potential tenderers in large -scale projects as 
described in the first Review Regulation. Product category 25B wil l consist of country -specific 
quotas for those countries reaching an average import share of at least 5% in the reference 
period 2015 -2017, and a residual quota for the rest. The split will guarantee the availability 
of the necessary volumes for any large -scale engineering project in the EU during the 
remaining duration of the measures, which otherwise would have been crowded out by other 
product types.  
B. 'Crowding out ' of traditional trade flows  
(24)  Under the ongoing safeguard measures, those countries having e xhausted their 
country -specific quota may access the residual quota in the last quarter of a period. The 
objective of such mechanism is to avoid that volumes of the residual quotas would potentially 
remain unused. Under the first Review, the Commission adj usted the functioning of access 
regime for two product categories in order to guarantee that certain traditional trade flows 
were not unduly displaced.  
(25)  Under the second Review, the Commission has been able to assess potential crowding out of 
traditional tr ade flows over a much longer time period and in a more precise and reliable 
manner.  
(26)  In the first place, the Commission has been able to assess what the typical residual quota use 
per quarter is by the countries that are the incumbent beneficiaries of this section of the TRQ. 
In this respect, the Commission has, on the one hand, calculated the average residual quota 
use (overall and per origin) in each of the four quarters where the countries benefitting from 
a country -specific quota could not access the res idual section yet. On the other hand, the 
Commission has checked this typical use against the actual use (overall and per origin) in the 
fourth quarter when indeed the bigger exporting countries could tap into the residual section 
of the TRQ.  
(27)  Based on the above -mentioned comparison, the Commission has reached the conclusion that 
the access to the residual quota in the fourth quarter of a period cannot continue being the 
default scenario, because it is causing undue crowding out effects to different extents in 
several product categories. Instead, the access to the residual quota in the last quarter of a 
period should be allowed, or not, on the basis of the actual typical use by the incumbent 
beneficiaries of the residual quota, as described in the preceding r ecital.  
 
5 CN codes: 73051100 and 73051200 . 
6 CN codes: 73051900, 730520000, 73053100, 73053900 and 73059000 . G/SG/N/10/EU/1/Suppl.7

 (28)  Accordingly, in order to adjust the access regime in an effective and proportionate way for 
those product categories where negative crowding -out effects have been identified, the 
Commission proposes to classify the product categories in three diffe rent access regimes to 
the residual quota. These three regimes depend on the degree of crowding out effects 
observed. This access regime will apply to all product categories except for categories 1, 4B, 
8 and 25A that have special TRQ administration regime s.  
a) Regime 1: No further access  
(29)  In a number of categories, smaller supplying countries have consistently showed across the 
quarters assessed that they are self -sufficient to make full or very high use of the volumes 
available under the residual quota. I n addition, the observed behaviour  in these categories of 
larger exporting countries during the fourth quarter has created a clear undue displacement 
of all or a very significant part of historical volumes of the smaller supplying countries. In this 
case, with a view to preserving traditional trade flows in terms of origins in an effective 
manner, the Commission considers it necessary to no longer allow further access to countries 
benefitting from country -specific quotas to the residual quota in the fourth quarter during the 
third year of measures. The prohibition of access will apply to categories: 5, 16, 20, and 27. 
The past track of average use per quarter of the residual quota clearly indicates in these 
categories that the risk that a proportion of it re mains unused is very low.  
b) Regime 2: Limited access  
(30)  In a series of other categories, the average quota use shows that, while the incumbent 
supplying countries under the residual quota make reasonable use of it, they alone are not 
able to make full or hi gh use of the available volumes. Therefore, the access in the fourth 
quarter by larger exporting countries continues to be justified. Nevertheless, the detailed 
analysis of the use of the residual quota in these cases shows that the unrestricted access 
achieves a final balance in terms of origins that is unfair. In particular, it was a common 
observed feature that the import share of the incumbent smaller supplying countries in the 
fourth quarter was always notoriously below their average in previous quarte rs. This 
imbalance was the direct result of the exclusionary presence of those larger exporting 
countries that had exhausted their country -specific quotas, thus resulting in undue crowding 
out effects that run counter the Union interest to preserve trade f lows as much as possible in 
terms of origins.  
(31)  Therefore, with a view to ensuring that the necessary entry in these cases does not produce 
undue displacement of the traditional trade flows from the incumbent smaller supplying 
countries, the Commission cons iders it appropriate to limit the access to the residual quotas 
by countries benefiting from exhausted country -specific quotas. This access will be limited to 
only those volumes exceeding the average quota used by the smaller supplying countries 
during the  four quarters. This adjustment will apply to product categories: 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 
21, 22, and 28.  
c) Regime 3: Status quo  
(32)  For the remaining categories, the Commission considers that based on the trends observed, 
which do not show any unduly displaceme nt of origins, it is in the Union interest to continue 
the status quo, that is to say, allowing the access in the fourth quota without limitation for 
the beneficiaries of exhausted country -specific quotas. This unlimited access will then apply 
to Categorie s: 2, 3A, 3B, 4A, 6, 7, 9, 17, 18, 19, 24, 25B, and 26.  
d) Special cases: Product Categories 1,4B, 8 and 25A  
(33)  The approach described above cannot be applied, for different reasons, to product 
categories  1, 4B, 8 and 25A.  
(34)  Since the imposition of definitive  measures and up to the enforcement of the new adjustments 
under this Review, product category 1 is subjected to a system of global TRQ. This has 
prevented the type of crowding out analysis carried out for the product categories under 
a) to c) above.  G/SG/N/10/EU/1/Suppl.7  
 
- 6 - 
 
  (35)  However, under the first Review the Commission had introduced a 30% cap per quarter to 
preserve as much as possible traditional trade in both volume and origin terms. On the same 
grounds, the Commission considers under the second Review that the maintenanc e of the 
30% cap of the initially available residual quota at the beginning of the fourth quarter 
continues being the best appropriate means to prevent that the countries that will benefit 
from country specific quota in this category after the individual a djustment decided under this 
Review crowd out the incumbents of the newly created residual quota.  
(36)  Regarding product Category 4B, the end -use mechanism was in place across two quarters: 
October -December 2019 and partially during January -March 2020. Since the imposition of this 
mechanism, exporting countries encountered serious obstacles to export to the  Union. 
Consequently, the level of imports was abnormally low. The Commission thus does not have 
the same data set (for a longer period) to carry out the crowding out assessment as for the 
product categories under a) to c) above.  
(37)  Nevertheless, the data av ailable from the fourth quarter of 2019 and of 2020 unequivocally 
show that crowding out effects are taking place. In fact, early into both quarters, virtually the 
full amount (and a very large part) of the residual quota was used by only one exporting 
country benefitting from a country -specific quota. Therefore, to prevent undue crowding out 
effects and preserve historical trade flows in terms of origins, the Commission considers it 
appropriate to introduce a 30% cap in this category by reference to the am ount initially 
available at the beginning of the fourth a quarter for the access of countries benefiting from 
exhausted country -specific quotas.  
(38)  Lastly, since categories 8 and 25A will consist as of 1 July 2020 of a global TRQ only, this 
system does not a pply to them.  
(39)  The specific volumes of quota that would be available in each product category under the 
regimes described in sections a) to c) above are included in Annex IV to this notification.  
C. Potential detrimental effects in achieving the integration o bjectives pursued with 
preferential trading partners  
(40)  The assessment undertaken by the Commission has proven that the current TRQs and those 
that will be in place after the adjustments proposed under the second Review have not 
produced or are liable to prod uce any detrimental effect to the objectives pursued by the 
Stabilization and Association Agreements signed by the EU. For this reason, there are no 
grounds to propose any adjustment under this header.  
D. Update of the list of developing WTO member countries  excluded from the scope of 
the measures based on updated import statistics  
(41)  Following the adoption of the definitive safeguard measures , the Commission committed to 
reviewing, on a regular basis, the list of developing countries potentially excluded from t he 
scope of the measures based on updated import statistics.  
(42)  For updating the list of exclusions from the measures under the second Review, the 
Commission will use the more updated and representative set of consolidated statistics, i.e. 
the full year 2019.  
(43)  The results of this analysis are presented in Annex II to this Notification.  
*** 
(44)  Following the adjustments described in Sections A to D above, the TRQs and the allocation of 
quotas among supplying countries are set out in Annex III.  
3. Provide proposed date  of introduction of the measure  
(45)  The proposed date for the entry into force of the adjustments to the measures is 1 July 2020.  G/SG/N/10/EU/1/Suppl.7  
 
- 7 - 
 
  
 4. Provide expected duration of the measure  
(46)  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 Article 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  
(47)  Not applicable  
6. If the expected duration is over one year, provide expected timetable for progressive 
liberalisation of the measure  
(48)  The definitive measures will be liberalised by increasing the level of the TRQ for all product 
categories by 3% for  the period 1 July 2020 – 30 June 2021.  
7. Provide information relating to the extension of a safeguard measure  
(49)  Not applicable  
8. Exclusion of certain countries from the scope of the definitive measures  
(50)  The Review of the definitive measures shows that imports of  certain product categories 
originating in a series of developing countries meet the requirements of Article 9 of the WTO 
Agreement on Safeguards and should therefore be excluded.  
(51)  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 c onsultations with those Members having a 
substantial interest as exporters of the product concerned  
(52)  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 reque st through the EU Mission in 
Geneva. These consultations shall be held (via videoconference exclusively) preferably during 
the period 1 June – 11 June 2020 .
