Not us as EU, article 107 makes state aid/grants, illegal if it affects the free market.
Might be of interest:

EU legislation protects the right of member states to nationalise industries. Art. 345 TFEU states “The Treaties shall in no way prejudice the rules in Member States (MS) governing the system of property ownership.”

It can't give an advantage, but under 107(3) exemptions to 107, it could be argued that it would protect an area that was economically disadvantaged..
 
Nigel has no clue of his role within it.

It's all part of his plan to diversify the economy.

Sell it off for buttons,then when some tax dodger buys it up,government will decide to pump billions in

They tried that one here. The current owners bought it for £1.00 from Corous or Tata or someone.
 
Tories for you, the EU changed the law on it last year they can impose a minimum price for goods day £100 tonne for a specific item or tax it up to a certain level if it affects EU workers ect think it's about 6% if its suspects dumping .
And shortened the time to impose it not sure if it's been in long enough to see it's affects.
China has a developing nation status under WTO terms meaning it can give state aid ect to its industrial bases , so might be a bit hard to get around that obstacle.
 
Yes take back it as a strategic asset while it's there we can produce goods steel ect and not be held to ransom by others who can.
China have been dumping cheap steel on the market for years to bring about this very situation , cant compete , more market share for China not rocket science really.
This...up to a point.
25yrs ago it was the US dumping steel on us. I worked 50 miles from Sheffield, ordered some lengths of key steel, got delivered next day all wrapped up with made in the USA all over it.

Recycled steel CAN be very good.
Why have I gone through 4 toilet handles when the first one lasted 20 years - the steel snapped the wholesaler stated recycled steel went on line got a British steel one not broke since - I can have a crap in confidence now...
Did Ashtonian have the same problem as he could not even fit his broken toilet handlelol
