European Parliament
Alain Cadec  (PPE ),
in writing.
(FR)
I voted in favour of this report, which repeals Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2007 on the trade in certain steel products from the Russian Federation. I note that European steel import quotas cannot be maintained after Russia becomes a member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). I hope that the liberalisation of bilateral trade in steel products can improve the competitiveness of the European steel industry. I believe that the repeal of this regulation could allow businesses in the European Union to improve their access to the Russian market.
