The acceptance of Turkey as part of the European value chain within the scope of the existing EU-Turkey Customs Union in the regulations prepared by the European Union within the framework of its new industrial policies and 'Made in Europe', is an extremely important and strategic development for Turkish industry.
We believe that this development will both further strengthen the position of the Turkish industry in European value chains and increase the export and investment potential of our plastics sector.
*We extend our thanks to all organizations that have put in significant effort during this process, especially Mr. Ömer Bolat, Minister of Trade of the Republic of Turkey, the staff of the Ministry of Trade, TOBB, İSO, all relevant NGOs, and the PLASFED Board of Directors, who have worked intensively on this issue with great dedication.*
The plastics industry is a strategic branch of industry that provides essential inputs for many sectors, from automotive to packaging, from white goods to construction, and is integrated into the European production ecosystem. With its production capacity, flexible supply structure, and high-quality standards, the Turkish plastics sector is one of the important complements of European industry.
As PLASFED, we will continue to support all efforts that will increase the international competitiveness of the Turkish plastics industry, deepen its integration into the European market, and accelerate its sustainable production transformation.
