Lately, however, the sector has come under pressure from shrinking investments and global competition from emerging economies. Nonetheless, Europe’s metal producers are amongst the global leaders when it comes to environmental performance and achievements linked to emission reductions. IndustriAll Europe regards this sector as vital for the European industrial production chain that relies on high-quality basic metal products, such as steel, for many of the goods it produces. </p> <p style="text-align: justify">Industrial policy initiatives laid out in the <a href="http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A52013DC0407" target="">European Steel Action Plan</a>, which are desperately needed to save the steel sector from being completely wiped out, have yet to be rolled out.
