Cepi calls on the EU Commission to continue negotiations on US tariffs to avoid supply chain disruptions

The imposition of import tariffs by the US would have a significant impact on EU pulp, paper and board exports. While a positive issue to transatlantic negotiations may still be possible, Europe’s pulp and paper industry in coordination with the European Commission has been preparing for the effects of a potential EU retaliation.

On March 12, the United States government-imposed tariffs on steel and aluminium and signalled that it may impose tariffs on a broader range of EU goods, potentially including pulp and paper products, in April. Cepi, representing the European pulp and paper industry, is now taking part in a consultation launched by the European Commission on the list of American products targeted by European retaliation measures.

The list of products presented is open to consultation by industry representatives until 26 March. It will then be submitted to EU member states for approval. The Commission is aiming for entry into force in mid-April.

Cepi advocates for a ‘negotiation first’ approach.
