Prodcom - statistics by product

In the past, statistics on steel production were collected under the Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC). When the Treaty expired at the end of 2002, Prodcom was used to collect the steel statistics.

In order to provide continuity, headings corresponding to the ECSC headings were introduced in parallel with the existing Prodcom headings for steel.

For further information:

• General background to the ECSC.

• R&D in the coal and steel sectors.
• Commemoration of expiry of the ECSC Treaty: programme of events.
• Eurostat publications: Iron and Steel yearly statistics, 50 years on the ECSC treaty.
