LUXEMBOURG - The world’s steel leader ArcelorMittal has exceeded several pollution limits authorized by European, Italian and French law for a decade. Meanwhile, the company headquartered in Luxembourg has received billions euros of public funds and indirect subsidies.
Thanks to this investigation by Carlotta Indiano and Ariane Lavrilleux, the organisation France Nature Environnement (the largest federation of associations for the protection of nature and the environment in France) has denounced ArcerlorMittal in the courts of Lille and Marseille for "endangerment by emissions in the air" and "degradation of air quality".
