The European Union will levy anti-dumping tariffs of between EUR 17.6 and EUR 96.5 (US$20.6-112.8) per tonne from Saturday, the European Union's official journal said on Friday, according to Reuters.
The European Commission had initially proposed setting a minimum price - of EU 472.27 per tonne - but revised its proposal after failing to secure backing from EU member states.
Among the companies subject to tariffs were the Brazil arms of ArcelorMittal and Aperam, both of which also produce in Europe, Companhia Siderugica Nacional, Usinas Siderugicas de Minas Gerais and Gerdau - at rates between EUR 53.4 and EUR 63.0 per tonne.
