Foreign steel producers unhappy on quota idea
Foreign steel producers in Japan and Europe oppose President Ford's plan for voluntary talks to curb specialty steel exports to the United States. If talks fail by June 14 a mandatory three year quota could be imposed. Dutch, Japanese, and European groups argue the move conflicts with free trade principles and warn of broader implications. The United Steelworkers and Allegheny Ludlum Industries say they welcome negotiations to solve the issue, which ITC findings reported 23 percent unemployment in the sector and low profits due to imports.
