Belgium: EU Slaps US with Tit-for-Tat Tariffs After ‘Illegal’ Duty Raise
- Ruptly Published on Jun 6, 2018
Maros Sefcovic, the EU’s Deputy Commissioner, announced that additional tariffs on a variety on US products will be imposed starting from July, during a press conference in Brussels on Wednesday. The move is in response to newly-enforced US tariffs on steel and aluminium products. “The application of the rebalancing duties is fully in line with the WTO rules,” Sefcovic said. “It’s a measured and proportionate response to the unilateral and illegal decision taken by the United States to impose tariffs on the European steel and aluminium exports which we regret.”
