欧盟贸易专员Maros Sefcovic周一表示，欧盟和美国将组成一个“金属联盟”，以应对中国补贴生产对全球市场的影响，这是他们正在进行的贸易协议的一部分。经过广泛会谈，双方一致认为，钢铁和铝行业面临共同威胁。根据该协议，欧盟金属生产商将通过配额制度获得进入美国市场的免关税或低关税准入，取代特朗普总统时期征收的50%的关税。该系统仍在最终确定中。塞夫科维奇说：“很明显，如果涉及到钢铁和金属，我们不是彼此的问题。”。他将该协议描述为涵盖钢铁、铝、铜及相关产品的“明确的联合行动前景”。此举标志着解决中国产能过剩和“非法补贴”的更广泛努力，这在最近的中欧峰会和七国集团会议上也得到了讨论，对全球失衡的担忧在会上得到了推动。

The European Union and the U.S. will form a “metals alliance” to counter the impact of subsidised Chinese production on global markets, as part of their ongoing trade deal, EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic said Monday. Following extensive talks, both sides agreed that their steel and aluminium sectors face a common threat. Under the deal, EU metal producers will receive tariff-free or low-tariff access to U.S. markets through a quota system, replacing former 50% tariffs imposed under President Trump. The system is still being finalized. “It became very, very clear that if it comes to steel and metals, we are not each other's problem,” Sefcovic said. He described the pact as a “clear prospect of joint action” covering steel, aluminium, copper, and related products. The move signals a broader effort to address China’s overcapacity and “illegal subsidies,” which were also discussed at the recent EU-China Summit and G7 meeting, where concerns over global imbalances gained traction.
