Justification

The European Commission continues to implement the EU–US trade deal despite the US State Department openly discussing regime change in European countries and claiming that Europe has become a hotbed of digital censorship, mass migration, and restrictions on religious freedom. At the same time, President Trump is threatening the EU with tariffs in response to our digital legislation and has added further products to the list of steel derivatives under the Section 232 regime. The European Parliament had no say in the EU–US trade deal, particularly regarding commitments to purchase $750 billion in energy and to make an additional $600 billion in investments in the United States. We strongly criticize the Commission’s negotiating approach of “strategic patience” in response to Trump’s threats and bullying, especially given that no retaliation measures were applied. This approach resulted in a trade deal that amounts to a capitulation of European interests, where our businesses will have to suffer, jobs will be lost, consumers will have to pay higher prices and our agri-food sector will bear huge economic and social costs. For these reasons, we reject the two Commission proposals implementing this deal.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(1a) In the current volatile and increasingly polarised global security environment, it is essential for the Union to maintain a deep and comprehensive transatlantic partnership in the fields of security, resilience and industrial cooperation while simultaneously strengthening its own technological and industrial base, including in sectors relevant to Europe’s security and defence industries. Such enhanced capabilities require stability and predictability in cooperation with key partners, particularly the United States. Only through a reliable and adaptable partnership can the Union ensure its collective preparedness and respond effectively to the current geopolitical challenges in full respect of its essential security interests. Moreover, in light of the growing need for investment in the strategic and high-value industrial sectors, reducing tariffs on the import of industrial and technologically advanced products from the Union to the United States would significantly strengthen the transatlantic industrial base and enhance cooperation in developing innovative and interoperable capabilities. Such a step would help ensure a more balanced and mutually beneficial trade relationship in this strategic sector, while contributing to Union’s overall economic competitiveness and security resilience. Lowering these tariffs would also provide the stability and predictability necessary for joint transatlantic action in protecting our shared strategic interests in the current geopolitical context, and would represent a valuable step towards deeper cooperation in the future development of a comprehensive transatlantic agreement.

(2a) The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA of 1977) does not mention tariffs as an instrument for regulating imports in the event of an economic emergency. That legal basis, used by the US for imposing new tariffs, is being challenged in the US in front of the Supreme Court, therefore businesses would need clarity and predictability.

(3) The Union and the United States intend the Joint Statement to be a first step in a process that can be further expanded over time to cover additional areas and continue to improve market access and increase their trade and investment relationship. The Union and the United States also agreed to consider other sectors and products that are important for their economies and value chains for inclusion in the list of products for which only the MFN tariffs would apply. The Union remains committed to continue engaging in negotiations with the United States with a view to reaching a zero-for-zero tariff agreement for other important sectors of its economy, such as agri-food products, as well as industrial goods, during the period of full or partial suspension of tariff preferences or tariff quotas granted to the United States.

Amendment

(3) The Union and the United States intend the Joint Statement to be a first step in a process that can be further expanded over time to cover additional areas and continue to improve market access and increase their trade and investment relationship. While certain commercial tensions persist, they are now being managed within newly established frameworks of dialogue and coordination, reflecting a shared commitment to fairness, transparency and mutual respect. This arrangement represents an initial phase in a broader process envisaged to progressively deepen transatlantic trade and investment relations, with the ultimate objective of concluding a comprehensive agreement consistent with the WTO’s rules-based trading system and the principles laid down in Article XXIV of the GATT.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(3a) However, the Joint Statement does not provide for the application of the 15% tariff ceiling to steel and aluminium, therefore the 50 % duty rates previously introduced by the United States remain in place. Additionally, on 19 August 2025, the Department of Commerce announced the addition of 407 product categories to the list of steel and aluminium derivative products covered by Section 232 sectoral tariffs. As a result, the steel and aluminium content of those products, which cover a very vast array of industrial products well beyond chapters 72, 73 and 76 of the Union ‘Combined Nomenclature’ and representing the bulk of the Union’s exports to the United States, is also subject to a duty rate of 50 %, thereby substantially increasing the already existing high level of uncertainty, as well as the economic and administrative burden for the Union economic operators. In light of this, and also in view of finding a mutually beneficial solution for the steel and aluminium sectors as expressed in the Joint Statement, the Union’s tariffs on imports of steel, aluminium and the relevant 407 derivative products should not be eliminated and the MFN rates should continue to apply to imports from the United States, until such a solution is found by the Union and the United States.

(3a) The Union reiterates its unwavering commitment to a transparent, fair and rules-based multilateral trading system grounded in the principles of the World Trade Organization (WTO). In line with the Treaties, the Union remains devoted to advancing its values and interests on the global stage, notably through the promotion of open and equitable trade and the reinforcement of international law. The WTO remains the cornerstone of the global trading order and the primary forum for developing, implementing, and enforcing international trade rules. Close cooperation with like-minded partners, in particular the United States, is essential to uphold and strengthen this system and to safeguard a predictable and rules-based global trading environment.

(3d) In view of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, as well as other conflicts in the Union’s neighbourhood that undermine the security of the Union and its citizens, and the wider state of emergency in international relations, it is imperative for the Union to maintain and further strengthen its partnership with a key ally at a time when such relations are of critical importance. In this exceptional context, the Union is required to adopt extraordinary and temporary measures, duly justified under Article XXI of the GATT (Security Exceptions). However, such unilateral measures should not set a precedent and should remain strictly exceptional, proportional and time-limited, reflecting their specific nature as actions justified on security grounds.

(6a) Given that the Union’s sovereign and democratic right to regulate, and the acquis communautaire, cannot form part of negotiations with any third country, the application of this Regulation should be suspended automatically in the event of any attempt by the United States to use economic coercion, as defined in the Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) 2023/2675 of the European Parliament and of the Council1a , for example through the threat or the application of additional tariffs or of any other measure affecting trade or investment in order to prevent or obtain the cessation, modification or adoption of a particular act by the Union, to then interfere with Union legislative processes or the enforcement of Union legislation. In addition to the suspension of this Regulation, the Union should determine and examine these threats or measures used by the United States, according to Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EU) 2023/2675 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The Union should eventually adopt response measures in accordance with Article 8 of that Regulation.

(6b) The Union Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI) aims at deterring third countries from using trade or investment measures to pressure the Union into making certain policy choices and allows the Union to react to such acts of economic coercion by third countries. It is imperative that the Member States provide the Commission with the political mandate to activate the instrument whenever coercion or threats thereof materialise, which is necessary to safeguard Union and Member States' fundamental interests, as well as the deterrent effect, hence the credibility, of the ACI, even more so in the current context characterised by power politics and geopolitical instability. It is therefore regrettable that the Member States have failed to provide such political backing so far. The application of this Regulation should be suspended in the event that the United States engages in actions of coercive nature or threats thereof, namely additional tariffs linked to Union regulatory choices, such as regulating the digital services and market, personal data privacy, corporate sustainable due diligence or measures against deforestation in value chains, among others.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(6b) On 19 August 2025, the US Department of Commerce announced the addition of 407 product categories to the list of “derivative” steel and aluminium products covered by Section 232 sectoral tariffs. As a result, the steel and aluminium content of those products is subject to a duty rate of 50 %. The imposition of those tariffs and of the cumbersome administrative and customs requirements, after the signature of the Joint Statement, has increased the level of instability in trade between the Union and the United States and has led to serious economic consequences for the Union companies concerned and for their workers. In that context, the tariffs on imports of those products can only be eliminated by the Union once sustainable and mutually acceptable solutions on the trade of steel, aluminium and their derivative products are found in cooperation with the United States. Moreover, in the context of the proposed Union instrument addressing the negative trade-related effects of global overcapacity on the Union steel market, the elimination of tariffs on steel products will have to be consistent with that new instrument.

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(6c) Despite the Joint Declaration in which the Union and the United States committed to cooperating to combat overcapacity in the steel and aluminium sectors while ensuring secure supply chains between each other, including through tariff-rate quota solutions, the US authorities, on August 19, 2025, expanded the list of products subject to tariffs under Section 232, adding 407 categories of derivative products now taxed at 50 %, exacerbating trade instability and harming Union businesses and workers. Similarly, no concrete progress has been made to date on cooperation between the Union and the United States to address global overcapacity. In that context, the Union tariffs on imports of those products should only be eliminated by the Union after an agreement on sustainable and mutually acceptable solutions has been reached with the United States regarding trade in steel, aluminium, and their derivatives, including the elimination of Section 232 tariffs, or, if this is not possible, their replacement with tariff-rate quotas. In the absence of a mutually acceptable agreement, an ad hoc export fee should be adopted to curb the export of aluminium scrap (7602) to the United States

(6c) In light of the complete suspension by this Regulation of customs duties on all US industrial goods as well as the far-reaching suspension of customs duties on many US agricultural goods, a safeguard mechanism is necessary to protect European industries from potential serious injury caused by such a near complete opening up of the European market for US exports. The Commission should launch an investigation without delay where there is sufficient prima facie evidence of such harm. If the investigation concludes that there is serious injury or threat thereof, the Commission should immediately adopt a delegated act to temporarily suspend tariff concessions in this Regulation on products causing harm. Serious injury should be deemed proven if there is a more than 10 % increase in annual imports of a certain product, or if import prices from the US have decreased by 10 % or more compared to the preceding year and they are at least 10 % lower than prices of the same or competing Union products.

Amendment

(7a) The Union and the United States are members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and have repeatedly reaffirmed their commitment to a rules-based multilateral trading system. The conclusion of this bilateral framework takes place outside the multilateral disciplines of the WTO and therefore raises concerns regarding its compatibility with the principles and obligations set out in the WTO Agreements. The WTO’s dispute-settlement and negotiating functions have, in recent years, been severely undermined, thus preventing the WTO from fully performing its role as a fair and effective arbiter of global trade relations.

(7b) Mirror clauses for products imported into the Union that ensure compliance with sanitary and phytosanitary standards are absent in the Joint Statement. The absence of a carbon tariff adjustment mechanism for imported products is regrettable. An increased presence of the United States economic actors on the Union market could lead to greater EU dependence on American-origin genetic technologies and innovations such as genome editing or new breeding techniques, thereby undermining the Union's technological and strategic sovereignty.

(9a) The United States administration has invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701 et seq.) to declare a national emergency and impose sweeping tariffs on imports, including those from the European Union, representing an unprecedented expansion of executive authority in trade policy. This use of IEEPA is currently under review by the Supreme Court of the United States in Chamber of Commerce of the United States v. United States (No. 24-1287), with lower courts having ruled that such tariffs exceed the statutory limits of IEEPA, raising significant questions as to their validity and duration.

2. Without prejudice to paragraph 1, when, in comparison to that of the calendar year preceding the date of entry into force of this Regulation, the volume of imports of a good covered by Annex I, Annex II or Annex III has increased by more than 10 %, or when their import prices decreased by 10% and are at least 10% lower than prices of the same or competing EU products, the Commission shall, within one month of such increases, adopt a delegated act, in accordance with Article 4c, amending this Regulation in order to:

3. The examination shall include a quantitative economic impact assessment of which producer sectors, Member States and, when relevant, regions, are affected by the surge in imports. In the event that the volume of goods covered by the Annexes in this Regulation has increased by more than 10 % or its average import price has fallen by more than 10% below the average import price in relation to the calendar year preceding the entry into force of this Regulation, serious injury is constituted.

4.

Proposal for a regulation

Annex I – Table – Row 146

Text proposed by the Commission

CN 2025 code1

Description

Arms and ammunition; parts and accessories thereof

Amendment

CN 2025 code1

Description

deleted

Justification

Arms and ammunition are manufactured goods, but EU law treats them as a special category due to national security and defence policy. They are not handled like ordinary industrial products in trade, procurement, or market rules. While ensuring duty-free procurement of military capabilities serves the Union’s collective interest, lowering tariffs for a wide range of non-military weapons raises public security concerns and should not be dealt within the remits of this Regulation.
