German steel company Taizenzkroop wants to suppress 11,000 jobs. The European Metalology Department is in crisis. American fees are high -priced energy, excessive global capacity, cheap steel competition from China. The European Commission is trying to save the recovery through the “Action Plan for Steel”.
The European Commission calls the “contract for a clean business” for its strategy for industrial competition and ticorbanization. It produces more steel worldwide. Now, the new American government also threatens fees: 25%of all imports of steel and aluminum. As a result, there is a risk that international commercial flows will withdraw from the US to the European internal market.
Foreign suppliers are trying to win the EU market with unreasonable competitive prices. To prevent cheap steel and to destroy the unreasonable first European steel manufacturers, a new safety tool will be introduced by 2026: CBAM, Carbon adjustment mechanism by Carbon adjustment mechanism. Non -European manufacturers of cement, aluminum, iron and steel have to pay taxes on the CO2 emission of high -produced goods on the EU border.
The European Union wants to mobilize 100,000 million euros to produce the European industry for a sustainable future. In danger: nothing more than the foundations of the European industry.
Germany wants to achieve climate neutrality in 2045. This is only possible if the steel made with coal is stopped and used by electricity or hydrogen. The European Commission collaborates with the change. The Taizenkroof Steel German Company has also been assured for the purpose of “green steel”.
The conspiracy Forman takes me to a long oven. Direct red -molten steel temperature: almost 1,500 degrees Celsius! US President Trump unleashes confusion among manufacturers. 25% of fees are a stainless steel -world from all over the world. Taizenkroop sells small steel in the United States. But if Asian, African and the Middle East can no longer sell their steel in the United States, Europe is facing excessive steel threat.
Mark Stock, spokesman for Taizenkrappan: “First, we must protect ourselves from unjust import procedures. Every year there is 550 million tonnes in the world. We need a useful CO2 border adjustment. And we need a useful CO2 border adjustment. And the costs of competitive energy at the national and Europe.”
IGM trade unionists have set up an awareness in front of Duisburg’s steel door 1. Union Representative Erol Cocareslan: “Our Executive Committee must take the idea of suppressing 11,000 jobs. And I would like to inform Europe:” Green Steel “made with renewable energies should be promoted quickly.”
Erol warns about the Deandestrailization: “If we now lose the industry, after the tunnel, it will be a disaster for Germany and Europe.” The steel action of the European Authority is huge: safety fees and quantities for the unreasonable competition with steel!
At the German Economic Institute, I meet with Kalina Kolav-Scaffer, a professor at the University of Coronia’s University of Science and International Business Policy: “World markets are flooded with coal-made steel and therefore harmful to the climate.” “Therefore, the European Commission introduces a border adjustment mechanism.
You need a lot of energy to produce “green steel”. Where does it come from? Colev-Shefer: “To achieve this, the rapid expansion of the renewable energy and the expansion of the electric network for Southern Europe.”
And the issue of US charges? “This greatly affects the European steel industry,” says Colev-Shefer. “The US not only represents about 20% of the exports of the European steel industry, but because of US fees, the European market has been flooded with steel from other countries.”
