Dear Alienor,
We are looking forward to our meeting this week.
Hereby are already two papers by the European steel sector on the carbon border adjustment; one on design and
one by three law firms regarding how to make it WTO compatible.
Kind regards,

Dear Mrs. Margerit,
We hope it will indeed be possible to discuss with you the carbon border adjustment design and maybe
more importantly now ‐ the
soon to be launched (inception) impact assessment; we would ask that the
structural flaws of the usual climate costs impact assessments will here be improved to get a realistic basis
of policy making for this file.
Would a meeting maybe be possible e.g. Wednesday 4 March, 13 or 14 hrs ‐ or 17 March before 16 hrs.
Otherwise we could find other suitable possibilities.
With kind regards,

Dear Mrs. Margerit,
As the Carbon Border Adjustments is such a crucial basis for our decarbonisation process we have been
thinking hard on how this could work in practice best (and legally too).
We would very much like to meet you to discuss the major aspects of its design and impact scenarios.
Would you maybe be available in one of the coming weeks to meet
and myself ?
Kind regards,

Subject: WEF Davos ‐ ArcelorMittal meeting request
Dear Mrs. Giordano, I am contacting you regarding the meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos
later this month; we understand Commissioner Gentiloni will participate and that
you coordinate this.
Mr. A. Mittal, CEO of ArcelorMittal Europe, will also participate and would very
much like to set up a meeting with Commissioner Gentiloni, particularly as he is
6
leading on the Carbon Border Adjustments, which is of strategic importance to
investment decisions in Europe.
We are the leading steel company globally with headquarters in Europe, where we
develop our leading technologies on materials, circular economy and carbon
reductions.
ArcelorMittal has just announced a commitment to go for 30% CO2 reduction by
2030 on the way to climate neutrality in 2050, only in Europe. It is our ambition to
be leading the carbon neutral technology development with actual large scale
investments. This indeed depends on an effective carbon border adjustment that
can be a basis for further ambition of Europe Green Deal.
As the steel industry is a third of all Europe’s industrial emissions, with
ArcelolrMittal almost a third of that, we realise this would not only be a radical high
risk change for the steel industry, but also a cornerstone of the Green Deal ambition
and success. Hence it is key the policy design is the right one.
But to make this commitment and long‐term investment decisions in Europe a
success in reality, we see, however, an important concrete policy risk related to the
actual business case of this investment and transition; that would be key to discuss
at the highest relevant level. This is why Mr. A. Mittal would very much like to
discuss with Commissioner Gentiloni.
Therefore, we very much hope you can support to set up such a meeting at the WEF
in Davos. Could you please let us know if this could be possible?
Kind regards,
