...announced a package of tariffs designed to protect European steel producers in the wake of surcharges decided by the U.S.E.U. tariffs of between 14.9% and 26% will apply only to imports beyond a certain quota and will be in effect for six months. Imports from developing countries will be exempt.

Starting next year, concentrations will exempt students from four of the 11 Core areas closest to their field of study. The exemption applies to all current undergraduates, but those who have already taken a course in their newly-exempted area will not get any additional Core credit...
