Letter to EU Heads of State and Government and European Commissioners: Action Is Needed to Address the Impact of the Iran Conflict on Europe’s Aluminium Industry
The Executive Committee of European Aluminium, representing the entire aluminium value chain in Europe, draws attention to the growing impact of the conflict in Iran on the industry and calls for decisive action to safeguard this strategic sector. The escalation in the Middle East is placing additional pressure on the European aluminium value chain, notably through rising energy prices and disruptions to global supply routes, including through the Strait of Hormuz. In light of these developments, European Aluminium stands ready to engage with EU institutions to identify concrete measures to strengthen the competitiveness and resilience of the sector.
