FAR Amended to Standardize Past Performance Evaluations
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 08.05.13
On August 1, 2013, the FAR was amended to provide for standardized past performance evaluation factors and performance rating categories for use government-wide and to require that past performance information be entered into the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). The final rule, which becomes effective on September 3, 2013, leaves intact the existing process to appeal an evaluation and places an emphasis on monitoring the quality and timeliness of submission of past performance information.

EU Steel Overcapacity Regulation: New Permanent Measure in Force from 1 July 2026
The EU’s steel safeguard under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/159 expired on 30 June 2026 and has been replaced by a new permanent instrument — the EU Steel Overcapacity Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2026/1384) (the Regulation”). It imposes tariff-rate quotas and an out-of-quota duty, similarly to the steel safeguard measures that expired. The out-of-quota duty has been raised from 25% to 50% to minimize the risk of trade diversion. The Regulation reduces duty-free imports of 26 categories of steel products into the EU by an average of 47% compared with the quotas under the until recently applicable safeguard measures.
