General comments

Subject category Comment text
Deposit AS OF 1992, THERE WAS VERY LITTLE INFORMATION CONCERNING THE OPERATIONS AT THE RESITA STEEL WORKS. OF THE FOUR MAIN STEEL WORKS IN ROMANIA, HUNEDOARA AND RESITA ARE THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS IN THE CURRENT PROCESS OF RESTRUCTURING. THIS IS DUE TO THE HIGH DEGREE OF OPEN-HEARTH STEEL, THE ELEVATED EMPLOYMENT LEVEL, AND THE MONOLITHIC INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURE OF THE AREA.
