The EU Council has prolonged the favorable trade regime with Ukraine for iron and steel products beyond June 6, 2025. This decision aims to support the Ukrainian economy, which is suffering significant losses due to Russia’s armed aggression.

The regulation will take effect on June 6, 2025, after the expiration of the “trade visa-free” regime between Ukraine and the EU. It will be valid for 3 years. This will allow Ukrainian producers to continue exporting metallurgical products to EU countries without protective measures, quotas, or other restrictions.

The European Commission reserves the right to temporarily reinstate protective measures for certain product types for up to 12 months if imports from Ukraine significantly increase and cause harm to EU producers.
