The blast furnace in the upper left has just been re-activated after its yet not so definite shut-down in 2005. By 2003, the end of the entire liquid phase in Liège had been planned for 2009. Now, master Mittal happens to be short of a good million tons of steel per year and the two blast furnaces as well as the LD steel mill have been saved for at least another 5 years. Some 10,000 jobs altogether. There's been an enormous sigh of relief in this area where unemployment is already in the order of 20 percent. In the foreground on the right the 60 megawatt electric furnace of Ellwood Steel Belgium is being discharged and one clearly sees the stream of liquid steel. As always, your comments and suggestions... :-) Ralf -- Ralf R.
