The future is in green energy; it's in making steel for energy-efficient cars.

The steel business is a local business. We do believe in the U.S. economy and would like to have a strong, balanced presence here.

Regarding our links with the Russian government, Severstal is a private company with no government participation. We are answerable to our shareholders.

It's extremely important to move in a direction that will allow us to take advantage of WTO membership.

Consolidation is an important step in the development of our company as a national steel and raw minerals producer that can compete in Russia and widen its global market presence.

We believe that the business system only is the key to success. It's no miracle, only day-to-day work in the appropriate way.
