A new action model for 2009

Dear Board members, Dear LSK members,

In the current economic climate, we have to say that we have difficulties to go on with our activities as in the past years.

This world crisis having a severe impact on the steel industry and in the construction market, LSK is obviously in the heart of the storm waiting for a possible improvement.

This is the reason why we have not yet sent you the call for membership for 2009. During the annual General Assembly meeting, which will be held before June 30th, the members will discuss the future of the association and the decisions to take in the short term. We have to admit that we have to reduce our activities in a significant way.

Until conditions improve we will try to maintain some promotion activities in our new internet website

www.easy-steel.com

Do not hesitate to share with us your best case studies like for example the one that Steelhouse from Greece sent us recently.

We do hope that this situation will be temporary and we have confidence in the residential market construction activity in Europe because we do believe that this market will recover soon fueled by the demand.

We sincerely think that we will rebound with your support in the coming months.

On behalf of the LSK association,

Sincerely yours,
