BERLIN (Reuters) - Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe's supervisory board chief warned on Wednesday that without conditions for fair competition within the EU, there will be no green production.

"The European Union must ensure fair competition conditions through appropriate measures at the EU borders, otherwise there will not only be no green steel production in Europe, but none at all," said Sigmar Gabriel in a statement after a supervisory board meeting at the German conglomerate's steel division.
