Steel stake

MSP already owns the remaining shares in the company. "We submitted an offer," said Andrzej Krzyształowski, a spokesman for MSP. The stake is worth roughly zł.37 million, and MSP's plans to purchase the mill are surprising, bearing in mind the EU accession treaty stipulations and privatization agreement that MSP signed, according to which it must halve employment, which currently stands at more than 20,000 workers, by 2006.
