European Parliament
Elisabeth Köstinger  (PPE ),
in writing.
(DE)
I voted in favour of this report, as certain adjustments need to be made in the area of steel imports into the EU as a result of Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organisation, so that a legal framework is in place and no disadvantages arise for the European economy. In addition, the EU can benefit from liberal access to the Russian market, and the competitiveness of the EU steel sector will be increased due to the reduction in export duties.
