from 20-Oct-2010 to 22-Oct-2010
We regret to inform you that the Workshop that was being organised in co-operation with the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and the World Steel Association on "Future Priorities for the Global Steel Industry", to be held in Beijing on 20-22 October 2010, has to be postponed. Both the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and the OECD have worked closely together and did extensive preparatory work for the event. The postponement is due to organisational issues which emerged at a late stage. Despite various co-operative efforts, these issues could not be resolved in time to ensure a successful event.
