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

   The changes tighten the regulation: they remove exemptions for certain countries, ban steel from Russia and Belarus, and require verifiable mill certificates. They also extend the scope to downstream products and add reviews of competitiveness, decarbonisation, and third-country trade measures. The review schedule is delayed to 2028 and made less frequent, while new reporting and consultation duties are added. The other changes are formal or wording: recitals are reordered, and the explanatory statement is rephrased.
