Translation of "scrap-in-roll " (English → French) :

The highest price for steel scrap from ships in the first months of 2008 — around $700 per ton for average quality — was paid by operators in Bangladesh where the standards of workers’ safety and pollution prevention were lowest, and most steel was processed without melting in re-rolling mills.

The steel obtained from melting ore or scrap (semi-finished products in the form of ingots, slabs, blooms and billets) is not usable as such and has to be rolled to give it its final shape and properties.

Concerning the GST we suggested during the prebudget debate that the federal government make it a priority in terms of starting to phase out the GST by cutting it back by 1% in the budget, another per cent next year and so on, until the GST is eventually rolled out and scrapped.

These aid measures do not concern production capacity for hot-rolled finished products and instead are mainly concerned with the collection, sorting and treatment of iron and steel scrap.

To be consistent with its overall policy and consistent with the other cases of State aids, the Commission proposes that the aid should be provided on condition that : - the new will be limited to a production capacity of 900 000 tonnes, - the capacity reduction in hot rolled products will be retained throughout a period of five years, - the level of financial charges of the new Eko will be set at least at 3,5 % of turnover, - the closing down of 320 000 tonnes in hot roll products in Henningsdorfe will be irreversible and completed by the end of 30 June 1994, - the said mill be scrapped or sold outside the Community in countries not competing with the Community, - the company will not claim or be granted tax reduction or relief on the basi ...[+++]s of past losses accumulated until privatization, - there will be regular monitoring-reports of the German authorities to enable the Commission to check the implementation of the restructuring plan.
