Below is another testimony from one of our members

Dear Mr Papenfus

Since duties on steel products where introduced we have seen a steady decline in the competitiveness of the downstream end users.

The reason for this is quite simple – DUTIES.

With the duties that have been imposed on imported steel to protect ASMA and AMSA’s inability to be efficient, the downstream industry is unfortunately on a downward spiral.

For our end users to survive we need duties to be immediately removed.
