"This report deals with base metals, including steel, aluminium, zinc and copper, which are needed for industrial growth across Europe and seeks to develop a sustainable base metals industry in Europe. People working in the industry are losing their jobs, both in the UK and across the EU, as the sector confronts its most serious peacetime crisis ever, facing a combination of rising steel prices, social dumping, an influx of cheap Chinese steel and increasing energy costs. We cannot solve this problem on our own – but by working together at EU level we can put pressure on the Chinese Government over steel dumping and find Europe-wide solutions to these problems.
In the upcoming work on Phase IV of the ETS, Labour MEPs will work to ensure that the system of free carbon allowances addresses the issue of carbon leakage. If this is not sufficient, the Commission should, as a last resort, examine the feasibility of a carbon border adjustment mechanism linked to the ETS. Labour MEPs will continue to work on this issue and to call on the UK Government to take strong, effective action at national level to support the steel industry and to stop job losses."@en1
