CET Comité Européen de la Trefilerie

CET Comité Européen de la Trefilerie (European Committee for Wire Drawing) is a trade association registered in the EU Transparency Register since July 26, 2019. The organization represents manufacturers of steel wire and steel wire products within Europe. It acts to promote and safeguard the collective interests of these manufacturers at the European level, engaging with EU institutions including the European Commission and national governments to influence policy-making related to their industry. CET focuses on sharing market research information and representing the industry before scientific and technical bodies addressing wire and wire product issues. Their lobbying agenda includes concerns related to environment, climate action, energy, trade, competition, and regulatory standards such as CO2 footprint, NOx exhaust rules, anti-dumping trade measures, REACH regulations, and best available techniques (BAT) for wire drawing. As an interest group, CET aims both to defend the business interests of its members and contribute to the shaping of EU legislation impacting the steel wire sector, ensuring policies reflect industry realities while addressing compliance and sustainability.

The EU Transparency Register data shows cumulative declared expenditure on lobbying activities by CET as modest, reflecting its small scale and limited lobbying budget. Exact annual breakdowns are not publicly specified but total spending estimates are likely under €100,000 annually, typical for niche trade bodies of this size and scope.

CET engages chiefly with the European Commission and national governments on legislative and regulatory matters affecting the steel wire industry. Its participation in inter-institutional groups or unofficial groupings is not publicly listed.

Details of all meetings held by CET with EU institutions since registration through June 2025 are not explicitly publicly itemized. However, registered lobbyists for CET would engage in meetings particularly concerning environmental regulations, trade policy implementation, and industrial standards affecting wire products.
