Why we are consulting
The entry into force of the EU Steel Regulation addressing negative trade-related effects of global overcapacity on the EU steel market will be followed by an Implementing Act on ‘melt and pour’ traceability requirements. It will determine the type of documentary evidence that importers of steel products into the EU will need to provide to demonstrate where the steel was originally melted and poured. This requirement is a key element of the EU Steel Regulation, designed to ensure transparency in the EU steel supply chain.
The consultation will run for four weeks (from 4 June to 2 July 2026). It will seek input from steel producers, steel users, traders, importers, industry associations, and other stakeholders to identify the most practical and reliable documentation allowing to effectively verify the country of melt and pour of steel imported into the EU.
