Davignon Plan
The Davignon Plan was adopted in 1978 by the European Economic Community to reform its steel industry.[1] Its aim was to place a cap on steel's production capacity.[1] In the long term, it aimed to restructure and rationalise the steel industry.[1] Its main tools to achieve its planned targets were state aids and import restrictions.[1]
The Plan took its name from Étienne Davignon, the European Commissioner for the Internal Market and Industrial Affairs.[1]
