on the matter of “restrictions on iron ore export of 64% Fe and above (fines and
lumps), by maintaining it at current level for the next three years through
canalization and review of all existing long term agreements (LTAs) at the
time of renewalâ€, it was agreed that this may be decided by the government
appropriately.
(c) The issue is under active consideration of the Government.
