Regendans"Tata Steel faces new €8.5 million fine over continued emissions breaches
Tata Steel is facing another fine exceeding 8.5 million euros after regulators found continued excessive emissions at one of its plants. The North Sea Canal Area Environment Service said its own tests from April and May last year confirmed ongoing violations. The company had already been fined the same amount in late January, when authorities relied on Tata Steel’s self-reported data.
The maximum penalty payment has now been reached. “The Environment Service is now assessing what this means for the permit,” a spokesperson said. OD NZKG may decide to impose an additional fine. Results from tests carried out in December and March are expected shortly and will be used to determine what action to take next.

Greenpeace welcomed the renewed fine from the Environment Service but sharply criticised Tata Steel for continuing to release “cancer-causing substances” into the environment.
The organisation said the situation had gone too far and called for the company’s permit to be withdrawn, arguing that the ageing coke plants are harming public health and should be shut down immediately."
