KYIV, May 18 – Top managers of the Ukrainian Association of Scrap Metals and Resources (UAVtormetresurs) said plans by metal sector lobbyists to extend the export duty on scrap ferrous metal and increase it from EUR 30 per ton to EUR 42 per ton are anti-competitive, which puts both Ukrainian business and Turkish enterprises, the key buyer of Ukrainian scrap, at disadvantage.

The letter, a copy of which has been sent to Interfax-Ukraine, UAVtormetresurs sent to the trade representative of the Turkish Embassy in Ukraine.
