13 Aprile 2018 - 10:16AM
13 April 2018 - ArcelorMittal ('the Company') announces
that, as part of the ongoing European Commission ('EC') review into
its acquisition of Ilva, it submitted a proposed divestment package
to the EC to address concerns the EC has raised during its review.
The proposed divestment package includes the following assets:
- ArcelorMittal Piombino, the Company's only galvanised steel
plant in Italy
- ArcelorMittal Galati, Romania
- ArcelorMittal Skopje, Macedonia
- ArcelorMittal Ostrava, Czech Republic
- ArcelorMittal Dudelange, Luxembourg
- Hot dipped galvanising lines 4 and 5 in Flemalle; hot-rolled
pickling, cold rolling and tin packaging lines in Tilleur, all of
which are in Liège, Belgium.
The proposal to sell these assets remains subject to final
review and approval by the EC as well as the conclusion of the
information and consultation processes with local and European
works councils. Any sales would be conditional upon completion of
ArcelorMittal's acquisition of Ilva. The EC is expected to reach a
final decision on the case by 23 May 2018.
