“钢铁行业面临生死攸关的困境，”该协会在信中表示。“由于全球钢铁产能严重过剩和贸易扭曲，在2009年至2019年期间，我们已经失去了约25%的劳动力和20%的产量。2019年欧盟钢铁需求显著下降，使得原本受欢迎的欧盟钢铁保障措施在很大程度上失去效力，甚至在新冠肺炎大流行之前就是如此。”
“For steel,the difficult situation has become critical,” the association says in theletter. “We had already lost about 25% of our workforce and 20% of productionvolumes between 2009 and 2019 as a result of massive global steel excesscapacity and trade distortions. The significant downturn in EU steel demand in2019 rendered the otherwise welcomed EU steel safeguards ineffective for alarge part of our industry, even before the Covid-19 pandemic.”
“我们的行业正在为生存而战。新冠肺炎疫情的影响导致订单空空如也，造成大规模减产，使整个工厂处于闲置状态，缩短工作时间和暂时解雇工人，”欧钢联总结道。
“Ourindustry is fighting for its survival. The impact of Covid-19 is emptying orderbooks, forcing massive cuts in production, idling of entire facilities, andshort-time working hours and temporary lay-offs of workers,” Eurofer concludes.
