Recommendation
We share the concerns expressed to us that the Trade Remedies Authority’s recommendation to revoke safeguards on nine categories of steel imports was not based on an open dialogue with industry and had therefore missed the wider impact its decision would have had on UK steel producers. These concerns also appear to be shared by the UK Government as demonstrated by its decision to overrule the Trade Remedies Authority’s recommendation and grant industry more time to appeal its decision. A two-way dialogue with industry must inform future recommendations by the Trade Remedies Authority and we welcome the opportunity given to both parties to do so. (Paragraph 165) Decarbonisation
Government Response Summary
The government welcomed the committee's acknowledgment of BEIS and the British Business Bank's proper and independent actions, but did not address the recommendation for the Trade Remedies Authority to ensure future recommendations are informed by open dialogue with industry.
