CommisionTo Impose Import Duties On Ammonium Nitrate

This is to take immediate effect and duties will range from 23.13 to 33.25 Euro/mt.

The Fertiliser Manufacturers Association has welcomed this decision.

“It proves that the EU authorities are convinced of the legitimacy of the European Industrys complaint as submitted by EFMA and with full support of the FMA,” said David Heather, director general of the FMA.

“The most effective measure is that of specific import duties rather than minimum import prices or quantitative undertakings, both of which are more susceptible to circumvention. It is good news that the Commission has recognised this.”
