&nbsp;MEPs adopted their position on two proposals implementing the tariff aspects of the EU-US Turnberry trade deal.

The texts, if agreed with EU member states, will eliminate most tariffs on US industrial goods and provide preferential market access for a wide range of US seafood and agricultural goods, in line with the commitments made in summer 2025 between the EU and the US.

MEPs strengthened the proposed suspension clause, which would allow the tariff preferences with the US to be suspended under a number of conditions. For instance, the Commission would be able to propose suspending all or some trade preferences if the US were to impose additional tariffs exceeding the agreed 15% ceiling, or any new duties on EU goods. The suspension clause could also be activated if the US, for example, undermined the objectives of the deal, discriminated against EU economic operators, threatened member states’ territorial integrity, foreign and defence policies, or engaged in economic coercion.

MEPs have introduced a “sunrise clause” that would mean that the new tariffs would only become effective if the US respects its commitments. These conditions include the US lowering its tariffs on EU products with a steel and aluminium content below 50%, to a tariff of maximum 15%.

On 27 July 2025,&nbsp;European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen&nbsp;and&nbsp;US President Donald J. Trump&nbsp;agreed a&nbsp;deal on tariffs and trade.&nbsp;The&nbsp;key commitments&nbsp;of both sides include: establishing a single, all-inclusive US tariff ceiling of 15% for EU goods, providing special treatment for strategic products, liberalising certain trade&nbsp;sectors, aimed at strengthening transatlantic economic cooperation and boosting mutual market access.
