The European Steel Association (EUROFER) has announced that it has appointed Robrecht Himpe, executive vice president of ArcelorMittal Europe, as its new president, replacing Wolfgang Eder, CEO of Austrian steelmaker Voestalpine, who had held the presidency since October 2009.
 
"Europe needs an industrial policy that delivers a win-win situation for the EU economy - the European Commission's 2030 energy and climate plan alone will not support much-needed economic growth. A realistic energy and climate plan, together with an industrial policy and fairer trade policies, should create a framework that encourages Europe's economic growth in a number of different ways, not in a "one size fits all" way as the energy and climate plan currently proposes," stated the new EUROFER president at the 4th European Steel Day.
