The European Commission extended the suspension of EU rebalancing measures on United States exports, without an end date, in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1893 of July 30, 2026 [1]. The suspension applies from August 7, 2026 [1]. The Commission announced the extension on July 31, 2026 [2].
The regulation suspends the application of Articles 1, 2, and 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1564, the package the EU adopted on July 24, 2025 in response to the risk of very high US tariffs on EU exports [1][2]. That package covered 93 billion euros of EU imports from the United States and imposed an export restriction on 95 million euros of EU exports to the United States [2]. The new suspension replaces Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/295, which was set to expire on August 6, 2026 [2].
The extension follows the EU-US Joint Statement of August 21, 2025 [2]. The Commission states it will keep the suspension under continuous review and may reactivate the measures at any time if needed to defend EU interests [2].

The action is a suspension, not a repeal: the underlying rebalancing measures remain in the EU legal order with their application suspended [1][2].
