Interesting that the US imposes a 236% tariff on Chinese steel imports whilst the EU haven't yet made their mind up but currently impose a massive 9%.
Of course. The EU - as it currently stands - exists to facilitate German exports not just within the EU but globally using the subterfuge of a Euro exchange rate that is much lower than an equivalent sovereign German currency.
All the time Germany holds the EU reins, it will tolerate cheap steel imports for its carmakers and won't rock the trade tariff boat with export markets like China.
It's the reason I want out of the EU. The single currency and 'ever closer union' are Germany's attempt to achieve through economic means what it was unable to gain through previous military efforts. I have admiration for how Germany has brought this about - but want a UK Government that puts UK citizens first.
