You pay more your aluminium than you should
error
of overcost
- 2000-2023 cumulative extra cost for EU27 downstream transformers were estimated at around 22 billion euros because of import tariffs on raw aluminium.
- Only 16% of these extra-costs were collected in the EU as duty revenue.
- The major part of the €17.8 billion was cashed in as extra-revenue by EU primary and secondary aluminium producers.
- Also, 25% of the extra-costs to the EU downstream (4.5 bln) translated into extra-revenue for primary aluminium producers with duty free access to EU-28.
- EU downstream SMEs are unwillingly "subsidising” EU and non-EU producers.
- On average, EU SMEs pay between €80 and €100 more than they should per ton of unwrought aluminium purchased.
