The Committee on International Trade adopted the recommendation for second reading contained in the report by Christofer FJELLNER (EPP, SE) on the Council position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union and Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Union.
The committee recommended that the European Parliament approve the Council's position at first reading.
The proposed Regulation aims to update and modernise the EU’s trade defence instruments, which have not been substantially revised since the completion of the Uruguay Round in 1995, in order to make them more efficient and effective for EU operators.
