Critics consider that to be throwing good money after bad. The proposal to revitalize Eisenhuttenstadt has run into stiff opposition from the western German steel industry, the European Commission in Brussels, and E.C. countries, which must unanimously approve new state subsidies -- at a time when Europe's steel industry as a whole is awash in excess capacity and red ink.
