Question 6803 — industry

Summary

Ms. Claire Lejeune draws the attention of the Minister to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, responsible for industry and energy, to the worrying situation of the ArcelorMittal group, which recently announced the dismissal of 636 employees, thus marking a new stage in the destruction of the French steel industry. This decision comes following the suspension of its projects European decarbonization efforts, including in particular the emblematic hydrogen oven project in Dunkirk, despite the 850 million euros in subsidies and the payment of 622 million euros since 2013 by the State. Furthermore, the company chose to invest nearly a billion dollars in a new factory in the United States of America, rather than in Europe. ArcelorMittal shareholders, for their part, pocketed, over the course of three in recent years, 6 billion euros, to the detriment of employees and industrial sites. It appears that the Government, by not taking measures to address this situation, seems to be allowing a deterioration of the French industrial fabric, in a particularly strategic sector for economic sovereignty. Faced with this situation, the nationalization of ArcelorMittal appears to be the only viable solution to guarantee the sustainability of sites, jobs and steel production in France. She therefore asks him what measures he plans to take with regard to these elements, particularly with regard to the nationalization of the ArcelorMittal group, and whether such a decision would be considered to preserve jobs and industrial steel production in France, an eminently strategic sector.
