Both offers are topic to approval by means of the European Commission.
“Our intention shall be to expand close-working relationships with respective governments, trade unions and other local stakeholders in Belgium and Luxembourg to optimise and enhance the value of these historical assets which might be important for the regional and nationwide economies,” said Gupta, the 47-year-old govt chairman of GFG Alliance.
