Five European industry associations ask the EU authorities not to impose a ban on aluminum from Russia, since appropriate sanctions can cause the closure of thousands of European companies, Reuters reports citing a statement from industry associations.

According to the data Reuters, The joint statement was made by the European Federation of Aluminum Consumers (FACE), the German Federal Union for the Promotion of Economic Development and Foreign Economic Relations (BWA), the National Association of Italian Foundry Manufacturers (Amafond), the Italian Steel Association (Assofermet), and the Italian Foundry Association (Assofond).

The agency writes that the associations sent a letter to the EU authorities in which they “requested urgent intervention by the European Commission and EU member states against threats of banning Russian aluminum, as well as high tariffs or sanctions against it, which pose an immediate and critical threat to the European aluminum industry”, transmits RIA Novosti.

Referring to a statement by industrialists, Reuters notes that for small aluminum consumers, a direct consequence of the introduction of measures against Russian metal could be “the potential closure of thousands of companies and tens of thousands of unemployed in Europe”. The agency also writes that a statement by industrialists says that those who call for action against Russian metal "either are its main competitors, or use supply options that are not available to the vast majority of members of the European aluminum industry.".

It is noted that, despite the absence of sanctions, some companies have already stated that they will abandon Russian metals, and the American company Alcoa is promoting a ban at the state level. At the same time, Reuters writes, the London Metal Exchange (LME) is considering a ban on Russian aluminum by conducting a survey of its customers.

One of the leaders of the global aluminum industry is the Russian company Rusal. In 2021, it accounted for 5.6% of world aluminum production. The main shareholders of Rusala - En + Group (56.88% of the shares) and Sual (25.72% of the shares), 17.4% of the shares are in free circulation.

Earlier it was reported that in March-June, imports of nickel and aluminum from Russia to the United States and EU countries has grown by 70%.
