A German study warns that an EU ban on scrap steel exports could undermine competitiveness and the "green" transition.

A new independent study conducted by the Ernst Abbe University of Applied Sciences in Jena, Germany, has raised serious concerns about proposals to restrict steel scrap exports under the European Steel and Metals Action Plan (SMAP). A study commissioned by the Federal Association of German Steel Processing and Waste Management Companies (BSV) and the Association of German Metal Dealers and Recyclables Processors (VDM) concludes that such measures will damage Europe's competitiveness and hinder its transition to a "green economy".
