Outokumpu is indeed in favor of the project, with the following development suggestions.
Apparently, that third suggestion refers to the idea that EU requirements for components should also apply to the steel they contain.
Outokumpu further encourages the Commission to
- introduce an EU low-carbon steel label, which would enable steel manufacturers to demonstrate their products’ carbon dioxide emissions and help buyers choose cleaner materials,
- introduce low-carbon criteria for stainless steel as well, so that the criteria take into account differences in manufacturing processes and also consider the high emissions in the supply chain, and
- expand Made in EU requirements to also cover steel, as excluding products containing steel from the list of preferred European products can lead to high-emission steel being imported into Europe, resulting in final products with a large carbon footprint being manufactured here.
