EU dropped aluminium scrap duty plan over India concerns, sources say

·Economic Times·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

The European Union has dropped a proposed export duty on aluminum scrap. This decision was made in response to concerns from India, which had been pressing the EU to reconsider the plan. The move is significant because it could ease trade tensions between the EU and India, and may pave the way for a free trade agreement between the two parties. The EU's decision to use environmental rules to manage scrap exports instead of a duty could also have implications for the global aluminum market.
