quotes by Aditya Mittal-:

“As our stock price improves, so does the value of the offer.”


“We don't see China as a competitive threat. They're not making profits at current prices.”

“We've already said that we intend to reduce 45,000 jobs by 2010, and these are natural departures and retirement. We've already captured 10,000 ones in 2005, and if we keep that pace we can achieve our goal by 2010.”

“We believe we have offered a very fair transaction.”
