EUROPEAN PLASTIC CONVERTERS UNITE TO CALL FOR THE REDUCTION OF EU IMPORT DUTIES ON POLYMERS

European Plastics Converters look forward to EU measures. "We call upon you to consider additional financial support measures in the EU Recovery Plan for the plastics converting industry to ensure the production of essential goods keeps running and job losses in Europe can be avoided." President Renato Zelcher and Managing Director Alexandre Dangis wrote to Mr. Thierry Breton, Commissioner for Internal Market, and to Ms. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, proposing that "short-term relief measures could be the reduction of EU import duties on polymers or financial aid for companies that have to stop their production due to the lack of raw materials such as polymers and / or additives. Important long-term goals should be to reduce the dependence on raw material imports and possibly review and extensively analyse the current levels of force majeure declarations in Europe."

THE EUROPEAN PLASTICS CONVERTING INDUSTRY IS FACING SEVERE SHORTAGES

The situation is getting worse and worse. As Zelcher and Dangis say, "the European plastics converting industry is facing severe shortages of raw materials and extreme price increases that are not only threatening the economic survival of numerous SMEs, but also endangering the production of countless products, ranging from applications in the building and automotive industry to essential goods for the food and pharmaceutical supply chains".

90% OF PLASTICS CONVERTERS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS SUPPLY CRISIS

Zelcher and Dangis tell the truth. "Recent surveys amongst plastics converters in several Member States have shown that more than 90% of them are affected by this supply crisis and many are forced to reduce their production and accept less or no new customers, in order to be able to honour their existing agreements. If this situation continues, the supply of essential goods for the food and pharmaceutical industries will no longer be guaranteed." For this reason EuPC is asking for new measures to be implemented. PlasticFinder supports their request.
