Coronavirus: Commission Questionnaire – Commission task force

Please find attached EUROFER’s reply of 17 March on the Commission questionnaire on the “Impact of COVID-19” on the industry.

Please note that the content is based on the aggregated responses EUROFER have received from membership.

As the situation is deteriorating everyday, please keep on providing our director for Market Analysis with information: Alessandro Sciamarelli (A.Sciamarelli@eurofer.be). EUROFER will update the situation frequently. In order to respect competition compliance guidelines, please send any information individually.

EUROFER will also prepare a note for the press in case journalists are requesting information.

There is now a Commission task force led by the Commission President. The Commissioner for Internal Markt, Thierry Breton, is also part of that task force. EUROFER and some energy intensive industries will have a call with the Commission’s DG GROW tomorrow at noon to discuss questions relevant for the industry.

Please send (DirectorGeneral@eurofer.be; A.Sciamarelli@eurofer.be) by tomorrow, Thursday 10 am any issue that you believe needs to be clarified with the Commission, for example on free movement of people and goods, … ).

Kind regards, Axel Eggert
