With respect to the dispute on steel, the European Union plans to apply retaliation measures against imports of certain products arriving from the United States, if an agreement cannot be found on compensations intended to counterbalance the losses recorded by European exports on the American market.
The draft list of American products for which EU tariff duties could possibly be increased includes a number of food and drink products.
The CIAA regrets once again that the food and drink sector could be affected by the consequences of trade disputes which stem from a completely different sector. The food and drink industry encourages the Commission to pursue its consultations with the US authorities in order to find alternative solutions to retaliation measures, especially by considering compensations.
