AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

Adds a safeguard mechanism allowing temporary suspension of duty preferences if imports cause serious injury to EU industry. Adds a provision ending duty suspension for steel, aluminium, and derivatives after six months unless the US cuts tariffs to 15% or less. Adds conditions for the start date of application, requiring US tariff reductions and assurances. Adds a new ground for suspension when the US uses tariffs to interfere in EU or member state sovereign choices. The other changes are formal: renumbering of articles and cross-reference updates.

Changes the application period to a fixed end date of 31 March 2028 and adds a start date determined by delegated act. Expands suspension conditions to include economic coercion, security interests, and tariff increases beyond the 15% ceiling. Rewrites safeguard mechanism to require monitoring and examination, with 10% import increase as prima facie evidence. Adds specific provisions for steel and aluminium, including suspension after six months and conditions for deferral. Other changes are formal or wording: updated cross-references, added budgetary assessment, and rephrased recitals.
