No new regulatory measures were published in the EU's tariff system on June 29, marking a quiet day ahead of a significant half-year transition. The only activity involved minor, pre-scheduled duty adjustments for certain egg products from Argentina, which came into force.
What to watch
With no new measures published, attention remains fixed on the upcoming half-year boundary. The current period for many trade measures, notably the EU's steel safeguard quotas, concludes on June 30. The new quota period and a raft of other regulatory changes are set to begin on July 1, following a week that saw thousands of future-dated industrial controls loaded into the system.
