Question for written answer E-001205/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Jadwiga Wiśniewska (ECR)
The European steel industry is facing a problem of access to scrap. Most scrap goes to countries outside the EU, which do not have to comply with strict environmental standards, allowing them to pay higher prices. Scrap is an important raw material for the steel sector because it is cheaper and requires less energy to process than primary raw materials. Its use is part of the Commission’s plan for a competitive, low-carbon steel industry that promotes, among other things, recycling.
- 1.What specific action does the Commission intend to take to ensure that European steel producers have access to metal and steel scrap?
