	The Hindu : Business : Steel producers bet on new market dynamics
		Chinese consumption of steel this year is slated to be in the vicinity of 290 million tonnes for a population of 1.3 billion people.
		Except steel that goes into buildings, which are not available for scrap, every other steel that goes into industrial buildings, cars, refrigerators and the like is available as scrap after roughly 15 years.
		Since steel consumption grew at only 1.8 per cent in the last 15 years or so, the steel that was used in the last 15 years will be insufficient to sustain the extent of steel making that is going to happen through the electric arc furnace route in the next 15 years.

	Steel Manufacturing
		Steel scrap from many sources—such as old bridges, refrigerators, and automobiles—and other additives are placed in an electric arc furnace, where the intense heat produced by carbon electrodes and chemical reactions melts the scrap, converting it into molten steel.
		The steel industry traditionally has been located in the eastern and midwestern regions of the country, where iron ore, coal, or one of the other natural resources required for steel are found.
		Employment in the steel industry is expected to decline 13 percent over the 2004-14 period, primarily due to increasing consolidation in the industry as companies are bought by other companies in the industry and their operations merge.

	Municipal Solid Waste - Commodities: Steel
		Steel is a versatile commodity that plays a major part in everyday life—it is used in applications ranging from food cans and household containers to automobiles and office buildings.
		Steel is an alloy of iron, produced by heating coke, iron ore, and limestone in a blast furnace.
		is a trade association representing steel producers, including integrated, electric furnace, and reconstituted mills; suppliers to or customers of the industry; and affiliate member organizations, including downstream steel producers of products such as cold rolled strip, pipe and tube, and coated sheet.

	Welcome to Access PBN: UPI: "Steel Wars: Producers vs. Consumers"
		For their defense the steel makers often blame consumer-industry incompetence and point to the general manufacturing recession which industry was in even before the tariffs were imposed.
		Now, steel producing defenders disregard the effects of $2.2 billion in sanctions, arguing obtusely that the U.S. should not be beholden to Europe.
		For their part, steel consumers, such as the American Institute for International Steel, welcome the WTO decision, even though it may lead to an overall economic bruising.

	China steel import and export
		China has imported 2.87 mln tons stainless steel in 2003 and exported 150,000 tons; imported 2.83 mln tons and exported 390,000 tons in 2004; imported 3.02 mln tons and exported 290,000 tons in 2005; imported 1.4 mln tons and exported 500,000 tons during Jan-Jul 2006.
		In view of China stainless consumption, affected by inaccurate statistics of private stainless steel mills, adding smuggles of stainless steel in previous years, China stainless steel consumption growth is not so correct.
		In the consideration of over-lapped steel, just by calculating of 85% of China stainless crude steel production (that is 15% of crude steel recycling rate), adding to net import volume of stainless billet, China stainless steel apparent consumption situation is in following table for recent years.

		Steel continues to outperform all competing material industries in maintaining affordability.
		This is due largely to the effects of diminished domestic steel supply, not the 201 tariffs.

		Steel producers Nucor, ISG and U.S. Steel have invested $3 billion to restructure and consolidate the flat-rolled industry, and consolidation has led to a reduction of about a dozen steel companies.

	Steel producers in merger talks - Dec. 4, 2001
		NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Steel shares rallied Tuesday on news that at least five of the country's largest steel companies are pressing the U.S. government and the United Steelworkers union to help bring about a consolidation of the domestic steel industry to take on foreign competition.
		U.S. Steel said the implementation of steel import restrictions favored by President Bush would be required if such a consolidation plan were to proceed.
		That would far exceed the more than 17 million-ton capacity of U.S. Steel, the top U.S. producer, though it would still be dwarfed by the 50 million- ton capacity of the pending merger of France's Usinor, Luxembourg's Arbed and Spain's Aceralia to form the world's largest steelmaker, Miller said.

	UK Steel Association - History
		As the iron and steel industry developed in Britain at the end of the 19th century, producers formed small trade associations, mostly at first on a local or regional basis.
		A crucial role of BISPA was to put the smaller steel companies on the map and represent their interests to government and, after 1973 when Britain joined the ECSC and the European Economic Community, to the European Commission and indeed to a wider world most notably the USA during outbreaks of American steel protectionism.
		As a result, BISPA and British Steel worked ever closer together with government, Europe and in many other areas, culminating in 1993 in British Steel joining the Association which then changed its name to the British Iron and Steel Producers Association.

	Temporary Safeguards for Steel Industry
		Foreign steel producers, often nurtured by government subsidies that have allowed them to build huge amounts of excess capacity, have flooded the U.S. market with imports, seriously affecting U.S. steel producers, workers and communities.
		Domestic steel prices in the last quarter of 2001 were at their lowest levels in 20 years, and a number of integrated and mini-mill producers posted significant fourth-quarter financial losses last year.
		This relief is being provided in response to the injury findings of the ITC and is consistent with the President’s free trade agenda and his commitment to enforcing U.S. trade laws to help maintain the competitiveness of the U.S. economy.

		According to Commerce Department data released on March 27, the primary metals industry — mainly steel producers — went from a $1.6 billion loss in 2001 to a $1.2 billion profit in 2002.
		In short, in order to give steel producers a tiny profit, many other industries were forced to sacrifice far more than steel producers made.
		In theory, the tariffs were supposed to give the steel industry “breathing room” and enable it to restructure itself.

	White House Says Steel Tariff Decision Consistent With WTO Rules
		The ITC Commissioners were evenly divided on the question of whether imports of tool steel, stainless flanges and fittings, stainless steel wire, and tin mill products have been a substantial cause of serious injury, or threat thereof, to the U.S. steel industry.
		The President's steel initiative announced on June 5, 2001, has three elements: (1) initiate the Section 201 investigation; (2) conduct discussions with other steel producing countries to encourage the market-based reduction of excess inefficient steel-making capacity worldwide; and (3) initiate negotiations to eliminate subsidies and other government market-distorting practices in the steel sector.
		That is why integrated and mini-mill producers have both called for action to address the market distortions in the steel sector and in asking the Administration to impose Section 201 relief.

		century infrastructure in the NAFTA region are additional important cross linkage issues where North America’s steel producers expect to play a constructive role in the new NACC,” said Thomas A. Danjczek, President of the Steel Manufacturers Association (SMA). “Steel is part of the solution to the competitiveness challenges facing North America.”
		“Steel and manufacturing in general are critical to national defense and homeland security in the NAFTA region,” said David A. Hartquist, Counsel to the Specialty Steel Industry of North America (SSINA). “The steel strategy and the NACC complement each other in the sense that both will focus on efforts to strengthen North America’s manufacturing base.”
		Over the past three years, through the NASTC, North American steel producer associations (CSPA, AISI, SMA, SSINA and CANACERO) have been working closely with the governments of Canada, the United States and Mexico to explore and define the key elements of a pro-manufacturing agenda for North America. The NACC will help intensify this work.
