BERLIN (Reuters) - There is not much time left before an exemption for the European Union from higher U.S. import duties on steel and aluminum runs out on May 1, 2018, a spokesman for the German government said on Friday, adding it was an urgent matter.

Spokesman Steffen Seibert said it was important for the European Union and the United States to continue to engage in dialogue and a spokesman for the Finance Ministry said it was necessary to work together with the United States to find solutions.
