- The EU Commission has initiated a monitoring measure on March 24, 2025, to track imports of certain industrial chemicals, including ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymers, urea with over 45% nitrogen, and ammonium sulfate, due to a significant rise in imports from countries like China. This measure aims to identify potential market distortions without imposing restrictions, allowing for timely trade protection measures if needed. Import data will be published daily, and reports are available for each product. The approach is data-driven and transparent, enabling quick action without immediate market disruption. Importers should monitor this to prepare for possible future trade measures.
