KYIV, Feb 23 – Ukrainian steel companies asked the government to extend the export duty on ferrous scrap in the amount of EUR 58 per ton for another five years, or even tightening restrictions on the export of scrap metal up to its complete ban to normalize the situation with the provision of this raw material to domestic enterprises.
Such opinions and proposals were expressed at a meeting on the functioning of steel companies and their provision with scrap metal, which was held on Friday at the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Economic Development, organized at the initiative of the Ukrmetalurgprom association.
