UK’s Secretary of State for International Trade Ms Anne-Marie Trevelyan has called in the Trade Remedy Authority’s reconsideration of its review into the steel safeguard trade remedy measure. This call-in marks the first use by the Secretary of State of new powers established under the Trade Remedies Regulations 2022. Call-in means the Secretary of State has assumed responsibility for this reconsideration and its outcome.Trade Remedy Authority has been asked to conduct additional analysis at an aggregated level of steel products. This will supplement the analysis at individual product categories in the original review that regulations dictated. The Government believes that analysis at an aggregated level may better reflect the integrated nature of the steel industry, where developments affecting one product also have an impact on others. Call-in powers have been established as part of the ongoing review of the UK trade remedies framework announced on 30 June 2021 which aims to ensure that the TRA and government collectively have the abilities to defend UK industries from unfair trade practices and promote rules-based free trade.
