Mexico’s Chamber of the Iron and Steel Industry (Canacero) has asked the nation’s economy secretariat, SE, to keep existing and apply new AD measures against steel imports.
In a meeting with Mexico’s economy minister, Ildefonso Villarreal, Canacero urged the Mexican government to analyze the situation of the local steel industry, at the same time it keeps existing administrative and safeguarding duties that are aimed to protect the sector against steel imports under “unfair practices.”
Canacero called for the extending of AD measures to include other “sensible” steel products imported through countries, which have no free trade agreements.
Villarreal said Mexico will analyze in details existing conditions in the global steel market, so it could make a decision while continue supporting the nation’s steel industry.
