LONDON (Reuters) -Britain said the European Union will remove tariffs on key steel products under a quota system from Friday as part of a reset of ties and a recent deal to ease trade barriers.

In May, Britain agreed the most significant reset of defence and trade ties with the European Union since Brexit, which included a "bespoke arrangement" to protect UK steel exports from new EU rules and tariffs.
