European Commission welcomes continuation of Global Forum on Steel Excess Capacity work
|
|
On 26 October 2019, the Ministerial meeting of the Global Forum on Steel Excess Capacity took place in Tokyo, Japan. The European Commission welcomed the overwhelming support by members to continue working to address the persistent global excess capacity impacting the global steel sector. The EU also expressed its regret regarding the decision taken by China to not join the consensus, and thus step out of the Global Forum. Nevertheless, the platform remains open to all interested OECD and G20 members, which will continue to be invited to join discussions.
