At the same time, the average daily metal smelting in June added 1.1% compared to May and reached 177.4 thousand tons. This is the highest figure for the current year. In total, in the first half of the year, world aluminum production, according to IAI estimates, was 31.75 million tons, which is 1% less than in the first half of 2017.The main reason for this decline was the decline in output in China by 3.3% - to 17 , 9 million tons for six months. In June, Chinese companies received 6.2% less metal than in the same month last year. The growth in aluminum smelting was recorded, first of all, in the countries of Asia (excluding China) and the Middle East. In June, Asian companies produced 368 thousand tons of aluminum, exceeding the indicator of the same month in 2017 by 18%, and the Middle East - 444 thousand tons (an increase of 4.2%).

По ее словам, нормальный срок проведения защитного расследования, стартовавшего в конце марта в текущего года в ответ на объявление об американских стальных и алюминиевых тарифах, составляет девять месяцев. Однако, по правилам ВТО, ЕС имеет право установить предварительные ограничения на срок до 200 дней, если импорт стали и алюминия наносит либо может нанести серьезный ущерб соответствующим секторам региональной экономики. Европейская комиссия в настоящее время располагает данными об отдельных случаях перенаправления на европейский рынок стальной продукции, которая после введения американских тарифов не может быть продана в США. Ранее европейские представители неоднократно заявляли, что торговые ограничения в ЕС могут быть введены именно с целью предотвращения подобных поставок. Сесилья Мальмстрем высказала сожаление о том, что Вашингтону и Брюсселю не удалось придти к компромиссу. По ее словам, на переговорах европейская сторона предложила провести открытую дискуссию по вопросам, которые раздражают США, и найти некое частное решение этих проблем. Но американцы отвергли это предложение.

Washington offers the Europeans two options. One of them provides for the establishment of quotas, the second - the introduction of tariffs for certain types of products, which should lead to the same 10% reduction in supplies. At the same time, the second option has not yet been specifically defined. In general, as European Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström notes, the difficulty of specifying Donald Trump's requirements and wishes is the most problematic aspect of the negotiations. European representatives have repeatedly stated that they do not accept the introduction of quotas on the supply of European products to the United States. In particular, they cite the example of Korea, which agreed to such restrictions at the end of March and now has a lot of problems due to the retrospective effect of quotas, the system for distributing supplies by quarters and other details of the scheme introduced by the Americans. Earlier, the European Commission announced that it is ready to introduce reciprocal duties on imports of a number of types of American products, if American steel and aluminum tariffs are applied to regional companies.
