Oslo 19880506: Large reductions in steel production in Norway. Government goes in to put down the ore -based The operation at the Norwegian Ironworks in Mo i Rana. In addition, it is proposed to shut down the scratch -based production at the Nydalen nail plant in Oslo, and transfer this production to Mo i Rana. In this connection, the Minister of Industry launches the so-called "Rana package",- a restructuring and downsizing package for the ironworks and the coke in Rana. The picture: The relay "Rana will live" in goal at the Storting. On June 2, the first of the 3-400 hundred relay participants started the day and night from Mo. At the same time, Environment Minister Sissel Rønbeck is presented with a barrel with special waste from Thomas Nilsen from Rana Nature and Youth, as the end of the baton. This was a few days before the Storting dealt with the Government's proposal for the future of Norwegian ironworks and Norwegian cokeworks. Photo: Henrik Laurvik
