As every year, the publication of the EUROFER Annual Report is an opportunity to recap the policy work conducted by the association throughout 2021, as well as to inspect the forthcoming priority work areas EUROFER will be facing in the next months.
EUROFER will continue to push for strengthened carbon leakage protection, together with faster access to affordable and alternative energy. Another strategic priority is to ensure access to scrap, and avoiding its export to third countries with lower environmental and social standards.
The European steel industry is committed to overcoming all these challenges, while reaffirming its strategic importance for the EU and its crucial role in tackling climate change.
We hope you find the EUROFER Annual Report 2022 an interesting and useful read.

Brussels, 2 April 2025 - The latest data unveiled by the OECD in its meeting in Paris draw an extremely worrying picture, where global steel excess capacity is expected to grow from an estimated 602 million tonnes in 2024 to 721 million tonnes by 2027 – over five times the EU's steel production. The European steel industry - already severely hit by the spill-over effects of global overcapacity and the U.S. steel import tariffs - reiterates the crucial need for strict and effective EU post-safeguard measures to ensure its survival.
Brussels, 19 March 2025 – The Steel and Metals Action Plan, unveiled today by the European Commission, provides the right diagnosis to the existential challenges facing the European steel industry. Concrete measures need to follow swiftly to reverse the decline of the sector, re-establish a level playing field with global competitors, and incentivise investment and uptake of green steel in the market.
