The European Commission presented a report to the Council on 17 July 2002 on the impact of the US steel safeguard measures taken in March 2002 and the current state of negotiations on product exclusions and compensation for the resulting loss of EU exports. The report considers the exclusions granted so far by the US to be 'manifestly insufficient'. This report provides the basis for the recommendations the Commission made to the Council on 19 July 2002 on recourse to short-term countermeasures against the US. This issue will be addressed by Ministers at the General Affairs Council on 22 July 2002.
