  On August 18, according to foreign media reports, the Russian newspaper "Vedomosti" cited unnamed sources as saying that the Russian government is considering a potential export ban on aromatic products such as benzene, phenol, toluene, and xylene. A working group began discussions on this issue in mid-August, but no specific decision has been reached due to disagreements among parties regarding benzene and phenol. Various ministries will solicit opinions from market participants before further consultations. The discussions are taking place against the backdrop of reduced aromatic production due to refinery maintenance, while fuel production has increased its consumption of aromatics. Aromatics can be used as octane boosters for gasoline and as petrochemical feedstock; refining companies can shift more naphtha components toward fuel production instead of selling them to petrochemical buyers. Some Russian refineries are currently permitted to produce Euro 2 and Euro 3 standard fuels, which can have higher aromatic content than Euro 5 gasoline.
