The source, GMK Center, notes that the European Commission released an implementing regulation on 30 June detailing the allocation of tariff quotas for steel imports.<\/p>\n<p>The industry association <a href=\"https:\/\/app.indexbox.io\/companies\/profile\/2951163\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">UK Steel<\/a> described the publication of the new European steel quota regime as a significant step that provides certainty for British exporters. The association highlighted that 70% of <a href=\"http:\/\/94.130.88.117\/store\/united-kingdom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">UK steel<\/a> exports are destined for the EU. However, UK Steel argued that the discussion should not conclude at this stage, pointing out that global steel markets remain under strain from subsidised overproduction. Both the UK and the EU have consequently been compelled to reinforce their trade defences, though these measures will inevitably complicate commerce between the two closely integrated markets.<\/p>\n<p>UK Steel indicated that opportunities remain to enhance market access, as negotiations to reset bilateral relations are ongoing. The EU&#8217;s quota for the UK is set at 1 million tonnes, while access to quotas under free trade agreements and residual pools could raise the country&#8217;s duty-free steel exports to 2.14 million tonnes.<\/p>\n<p>Rajeev Nair, Chief Executive of <a href=\"https:\/\/app.indexbox.io\/companies\/profile\/728995\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Tata Steel UK<\/a>, commented that the overall reduction in EU duty-free quotas, together with recent measures on steel imports into the UK, is expected to have a substantial effect on the company&#8217;s operations in the country. He noted that analysing the specific details of the announcement across various product categories would take time, but stressed that fair and effective market access remains critically important for achieving sustainable steel production in the UK, given the importance of the EU market to British steel producers.<\/p>\n<p>Tata Steel UK reiterated its concern that the volumes of UK quotas in several product categories continue to permit significant import penetration and do not adequately reflect the country&#8217;s underlying market conditions. The company stated that it is engaging constructively with the government on this matter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-alpha-black mb-3\">Interactive table based on the Store Companies dataset for this report.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tSort: Rank<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tSort: Company A-Z<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tSort: Headquarters A-Z<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t#<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tCompany<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tHeadquarters<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tFocus<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tScale<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tNote<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t1<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBritish Steel<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tScunthorpe, UK<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSteel production<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMajor<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPrimary steelmaker<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t2<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLiberty Steel Group<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLondon, UK<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSteel production &amp;
