According to Reuters, EUROFER argues that Chinese tinplate producers are unfairly benefiting from distorted prices on the product’s hot-rolled substrate. EU Opens Anti-Dumping Review of Chinese Tinplate
5/16/2024 - The European Commission is undertaking an anti-dumping investigation of Chinese-made tinplate following a complaint from the European Steel Association, according to the Reuters news service.
EUROFER called the investigation is an "important step toward restoring a level playing field for the EU producers."
“Chinese mills have been flooding the EU market for at least the past four years with their overcapacities of tinplate at dumped prices, putting immense pressure on EU producers that were forced to reduce their prices regardless of the evolution of costs”, said EUROFER director general Axel Eggert.
"As steel is at the core of many value chains, the impact of dumped steel products from third countries is not only a problem for our sector but is systemic for the wider EU economy and employment," he said.
