No detailed agreement reached on steel and aluminium tariff-reducing quota, causing sector uncertainty.
Conclusion
While the General Terms of the Economic Prosperity Deal outline an intention to establish a tariff-reducing quota for UK steel and aluminium exports, no detailed agreement has yet been reached. Key issues remain unresolved including the size of the quota, which products will qualify and the conditions attached. This continued uncertainty is affecting planning and investment decisions in the sector. (Conclusion, Paragraph 73)
