The new equipment will replace the existing ageing installations: twelve Martin furnaces, a roughing mill and a two-high mill for plate.

It must also agree not to build a second continuous casting facility for slabs for at least five years from the date of closure of the slab mill; (d) ProfilArbed SA agrees by the end of 1995 at the latest, pursuant to the abovementioned Decision, to replace its L-D steel melting shop at Esch-Belval with an electric melting shop with an MPP not exceeding 1 500 kt/year; (e) until output at rolling mill IX at Esch-Belvan begins, Klöckner Stahl agrees to limit production of hot-rolled coil at the Bremen hot strip mill to 2 640 kt/year and not to exceed 3 360 kt/year, including rolling to order; (f) Klöckner Stahl undertakes not to invest, save by prior agreement with the Commission, in maintenance or other plant, in order to maintain the bot ...[+++]tleneck identified in the SNV expert report ("Einschleusungslogistik für die Warmbreitbankstrasse der Hütte Bremen, 8.3.1984, Studiengesellschaft Nahverkehr mbH) which limits the quantity of slabs coming from outside for processing to 1 020 kt/year; (g) Klöckner Stahl GmbH cuts its MPP of cold-rolled strip and sheet products by 500 kt/year by reducing MPP at its Bremen plant from 1500 to 1000 kt/year as follows: 300 kt/year before the end of June 1996 200 kt/year before the end of June 1998.

The restructuring and modernization plan, which would involve the loss of a further 1 500 jobs, provides for a series of measures: - Plant closures . the blast furnace, which has the capacity to produce 1.8 million tonnes of pig iron, but actually produced only 700 000 tonnes in 1992; . the 0.45 million tonne capacity hot strip slitting plant, which produced 0.02 million tonnes of thin strip in 1992; - Capacity reductions and modernization . reduction of crude steel production capacity from 2.1 to 0.9 million tonnes by replacing the old steel converter with a modern electric steel furnace; . reduction of cold rolling capacity from 1.67 to 1.22 million ton ...[+++]nes by closing down some rolling mills; - New plant . construction of a modern hot rolling mill with a capacity of 0.9 million tonnes.

The finance would comprise ECU 160 million for modernizing the cold rolling mill, while the principal investment would involve the installation of a new electric converter combined with a modern hot rolling mill, costing a total of ECU 385 million.
