Metal tariffs push EU to impose duties on clothing exports

摘要

The European Union (EU) has moved ahead with its plans to impose temporary safeguard duties on imports into the EU of US-made knitwear, as a reaction to the levying of American import duties on aluminium and steel imports. The EU executive, the European Commission, has published a regulation that should see some of the duties in force by July, after they have been approved by the EU trade barriers committee.
