Steel review rejected
NZPA Strasburg The European Parliament yesterday called for a review of drastic steelmaking capacity cuts ordered last week by the Common Market’s executive Commission. The Parliament said that discontent over developments in the industry would cause the breakdown of Ministerial steel talks in Brussels on July 25. The commissioner in charge of competition policy, Frans Andriessen, rejected the assembly’s plea for a review of the new capacity cuts, saying that they were decisions, not proposals. The action comes two days after the United States decided to impose four years of quotas and tariffs on certain steel imports from Western Europe. The decision drew strong criticism from the European Economic Community and the United States domestic steel industry.
