In summer, the European Commission introduced the so-called rebalancing measures - additional 25% duties on imports of certain goods from the US totaling about 3 billion euros to the EU - in response to the increase in the United States import tariffs on steel and aluminum products from Europe.
This is one of the measures taken by the European Commission under the WTO rules in connection with the actions of the United States. The list includes, in particular, steel and aluminum products, agricultural products (among them orange juice, whiskey, rice, tobacco products) and some types of clothing.
The new EU duties were supposed to be in effect as long as the new US tariffs on steel and aluminum products from EU countries are in effect.
It is worth noting that the United States and the EU agreed in July to refrain from imposing new duties for the duration of the trade negotiations.
