European Aluminum has urged the EU to tighten sanctions on Russian aluminum by closing loopholes that allow Russian metal to enter Europe after being processed in third countries such as Türkiye and China. The association proposed mandatory reporting of smelting and casting origins, stricter customs inspections and an indirect ban on products made from Russian primary aluminum. It warned that continued geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions could further increase Europe's dependence on Russian aluminums if alternative low-carbon supplies remain limited.
