European aluminium import duties should be dropped--Face

摘要

The European Union should drop all import duties on alloyed and unalloyed aluminium, which are a hidden subsidy to aluminium producers, to protect the region's downstream industry, the Federation of Aluminium Consumers in Europe (Face) said in a statement. The duties are a "threat to the very survival" of the industry in Europe, Face said, as it outlined its argument for doing away with the 3 percent import duty on unalloyed primary aluminium and 6 percent on alloyed material.
