Parliament's amended version of the proposed regulation suspends customs duties and opens tariff quotas on certain US goods, conditional on US implementation of the Joint Statement and respect for EU security and regulatory interests. It introduces delegated acts for suspensions, a safeguard mechanism against import surges, specific rules for steel and aluminium, a start date determined by delegated act, and a sunset date of 31 March 2028. The Commission must report on impacts and assess economic and security effects, with a first report six months after entry into force and a comprehensive assessment six months before the end of application.

Committee position. The Committee on International Trade proposes amendments to the Commission proposal, including replacing implementing acts with delegated acts, adding a safeguard mechanism, a sunset clause, and specific provisions for steel and aluminium, to strengthen parliamentary scrutiny and conditionality.

Key points

  1. Customs duties on US goods listed in Annex I are suspended, and tariff quotas are opened, but only if the US effectively implements the Joint Statement and respects the 15% tariff ceiling.
  2. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts to suspend tariff preferences or quotas if the US fails to implement the Joint Statement, imposes tariffs above 15%, or threatens such actions.
  3. Suspension can also occur if the US uses economic coercion against the EU or a member state, or if there are serious breaches of human rights, democracy, rule of law, or threats to essential security interests.
  4. A safeguard mechanism allows temporary suspension of preferences if imports increase by more than 10% year-on-year and cause or threaten serious injury to EU industry.
  5. For steel, aluminium, and derivative products (CN codes 72, 73, 76), the suspension of duties ceases after six months unless the US reduces tariffs on such products to a maximum of 15%.
  6. The start date for applying the regulation's main articles is set by a delegated act, only after the US meets conditions on tariff rates for various product categories.
  7. The regulation applies until 31 March 2028, with a first evaluation report six months after entry into force and a comprehensive impact assessment six months before the end of application.
  8. The Commission must consult experts and notify Parliament and Council when adopting delegated acts, which can be revoked by either institution.
  9. Access to the EU market remains conditional on compliance with EU laws, including CBAM, due diligence, and anti-deforestation rules.

Who is affected

  • US exporters of goods covered by the regulation benefit from suspended duties and tariff quotas, but face conditions and possible suspensions.
  • EU importers and downstream industries of steel, aluminium, and derivative products face a six-month deadline for duty suspension unless US tariffs are reduced.
  • EU industry and agricultural sector are protected by a safeguard mechanism against import surges causing serious injury.
  • EU producers of agri-food and industrial goods may see changes in market access as negotiations continue.

Figures and deadlines

  • 10% year-on-year import increase triggers a safeguard examination.
  • 15% tariff ceiling for US tariffs on EU goods.
  • Six months from start date for steel and aluminium duty suspension to cease.
  • 31 March 2028 end of application.
  • Six months after entry into force for first evaluation report.
  • Six months before end of application for comprehensive impact assessment.
