Traduction de «machine sidérurgique » (Français → Anglais) :

This machinery is used for the production of steel products and has no direct effect on R D, pilot products or energy saving.

For the machinery used in the steel industry, the depreciation period is seven years on average.

For the rest, the Commission maintains its proposal of deregulating long products (light sections, wire rod and merchant bars). - 2 - FORECASTS FOR THE STEEL MARKET IN THE SECOND QUARTER This meeting of the Twelve comes just when the Commission is publishing its forecasts for the steel market for the second quarter of 1987.

In 1972 turnover of the Rheinstahl Group was DM 5 500 million, and ex-Group sales totalled DM 5 100 million, of which DM 800 million (15 77 %) were accounted for by steel and DM 4 300 million (84 73 %) by the other sectors (notably : iron and steel founding, mechanical engineering, construction of complete plant, shipbuilding, and manufacture of mining, transport, construction and heating materials and equipment).

Shortly before the Council meeting of 24 June 1988(*) - which will be asked to endorse the complete abandonment of the quota system and a return to normal conditions of competition between Community steelmakers - in a judgment given on 21 June 1988 the Court of Justice emphasized the independent powers given to the Commission by the ECSC Treaty which the Commission should have used in 1987 to deregulate Categories IV (wire rod) and VI (merchant bars). Under the ECSC Treaty, if the Commission considers it necessary to establish a system of production quotas for one or more product categories because of a "manifest crisis" in the steel ind ...[+++]ustry, it can only do this with the "assent" of the Council (Article 58(1).

It should also be recalled that on 22 December the Industry Ministers of the Twelve agreed to a capacity reduction objective of 7.5 million tonnes of hot- rolled wide strip, for which guarantees must be obtained no later than 10 June 1988. - 2 - Main features of the quota system The quota system decided upon by the European Commission for the first six months of 1988 therefore heralds a new opening-up of the steel market, but it is worth pointing out that for all the products, whether or not subject to quotas (hot-rolled wide strip, cold-rolled sheet, galvanized sheet, coated sheet, heavy sheet, heavy sections, wire rod, concrete reinforcing bars and mercant bars) ...[+++], the Commission is maintaining a monitoring system whereby steel firms are required to make monthly declarations of their production and deliveries of the products in question.
