European steel industry asks Commission to block JV of BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto
EUROFER’s October report on the Economic and Steel Market Outlook 2009-2011 shows that the EU economy most likely turned the corner during the 3rd quarter of 2009. However, the recovery pencilled in for the coming quarters will be slow and is still surrounded by high levels of uncertainty.
On 1st of October 2009, Dr. Wolfgang Eder, Chairman and CEO of the Managing Board of the Austrian steelmaker Voestalpine AG, took over the presidency of EUROFER. He was elected unanimously by the Board and General Assembly of EUROFER succeeding Dr. Karl-Ulrich Köhler of ThyssenKrupp Steel AG.
“We finally see some light at the end of the tunnel”, said EUROFER director general Gordon Moffat with regard to EUROFER’s June report on the Economic and Steel Market Outlook 2009-2010.
