White Paper – March 2026 Ferro-Alloys and the EU’s relaxed new standards for safeguard measures
This white paper was prepared in March 2026 by Stéphanie Noël and Iain Sandford and is published here in its original form.
It identified the broader implications of the EU ferro-alloys safeguard for the use of safeguards and other trade-defence instruments, in particular where such instruments are used to respond to structural concerns such as overcapacity, energy costs, supply -chain resilience in strategic sectors.
Subsequent developments have made the analysis even more relevant.
