However, the group clarified that their support is only for the ban on the export of scrap steel, not on all other scrap metals.


Jose Teves, president of MMFEMC, said banning the export of all scrap metals would kill the livelihood of many scrap collectors. He said the MMFEMC acknowledges the need to have a thriving domestic steel and metalcasting industry.

                    [Summary] => Steel producers, metal casters and scrap steel dealers are urging the government to ban or at least regulate the exportation of scrap steel to save the P10-billion industry.


The appeal is contained in a joint position paper five groups of industry stakeholders submitted yesterday to the House trade and industry committee chaired by Rep. Harry Angping (NPC, Manila).


The committee opened an inquiry into the exportation of scrap steel.
