07 Oct 2022 --- The EU is taking insufficient action on the metal industry’s crisis, according to trade association European Aluminum. The comments come shortly after the European Commission (EC) enforced several measures to help metal producers, who say they are facing a “life or death” moment as electricity prices soar beyond affordable levels. The association is also concerned that trouble in the market, which is seeing many metal producers close down, will further open the doors to countries like China – who can take over the European market.
