The Scrap Iron In­dus­try is ex­pect­ed to be re­opened be­fore the end of the year

This new de­vel­op­ment was dis­closed by Pres­i­dent of the Scrap Iron Deal­ers As­so­ci­a­tion, Alan Fer­gu­son, on Fri­day morn­ing, fol­low­ing a meet­ing with At­tor­ney Gen­er­al Sen­a­tor Regi­nald Ar­mour SC, Min­is­ter of Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty Fitzger­ald Hinds MP, and Min­is­ter of Trade and In­dus­try, Sen­a­tor Paula Gopee-Scoon.

Fer­gu­son said whilst he is hap­py with the news, he is not hap­py with the sug­ges­tion that the cop­per as­pect will still be banned from ex­port for the next year.

He sug­gest­ed that for the next four months a ban could work but main­tains it should not be for an en­tire year.
