DNIPROPETROVSK, Dec. 11 – The Industry Ministry plans to actively expand the domestic metals consumption market, expecting support from the government.

Deputy Industry Minister Volodymyr Severniuk said this at a meeting of representatives of mining and metals companies in Dnipropetrovsk on Wednesday.

"The Industry Ministry and the government will make all efforts to expand the domestic market," he said, adding that the government would unlikely allow the availability of large imported products.
