European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has launched a strategic dialogue focused on the future of the European steel sector, bringing together industry leaders,

social partners, and key stakeholders. An action plan is expected to be unveiled later this month.

Challenges facing the steel industry

The European steel industry, which employs 2.5 million people, is facing mounting challenges. High energy costs are driving up production expenses, while global overcapacity and declining product prices are dampening investment in clean steel technologies—essential for decarbonizing the sector. The Commission emphasized the urgent need for action in a recent press release.

Steel’s critical role in the economy

Von der Leyen highlighted the importance of steel, stating, "Our European Union was built on a coal and steel community. Steel is essential, from wind energy to defense. But European steel producers face significant challenges, including the need to decarbonize and unfair global competition."

The discussions will contribute to a "steel and metals action plan", outlining both short- and long-term measures. One key area under review is the current safeguard measures on steel imports, which are set to expire in June 2026.

Support for clean industrial transition

The Commission reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the industry through its Clean Industrial Deal, which aims to lower energy costs, tackle global overcapacity, and promote clean steel markets. Additionally, efforts are being made to boost investment in sustainable steel production.

Von der Leyen has assigned European Commissioner for Industrial Strategy, Stéphane Séjourné, to present the steel sector action plan by March 19.

This initiative follows a similar strategic dialogue launched in January with the automotive sector, whose action plan is expected to be released on Wednesday. Photo by Grubb at English Wikipedia.
