On 11 August, the European Commission published an implementing regulation establishing a new anti-dumping duty on certain flat-rolled products of iron or steel originating from Turkey and Russia. The European association of steel producers, EUROFER, had filed a complaint with the European Commission on 12 May 2021, believing that imports of these Russian and Turkish products were harming European industry in this sector.
After investigating, the European Commission deemed it necessary to impose anti-dumping measures so as to prevent these imports from causing further injury.

The anti-dumping duties imposed range from 2.4% to 37.4% and have already come into force.
On the same day, the EU also extended its anti-dumping duty on Chinese silicon imports. Following a review of the measures, the European Commission felt that the risk of injury was still present and that the duty should be maintained. It continues to apply to Chinese silicon shipped from South Korea and Taiwan.
