Abstract: In the European Union (EU) serious discussion about granting market economy status (MES) to China for the purposes of trade defence investigations arose in 2016 and the WTO Panel is currently settling this dispute between China and the EU. As the steel sector is very often the target of anti-dumping investigations, firstly, the paper is focused on the analysis of changes in the development of the Chinese, EU and Czech steel production and trade in the period 2001−2016.

Abstract: An expression of economical, technical and technological processes by means of models consists in a selection of such facts which can be expressed with help of mathematical tools to provide us a suitable possibility of simpler descriptions or predictions of changes.A situation can occur that a functional expression is not possible or invokes so complicated mathematical relations that their explicit solving is not possible. Some numerical approximations are then attempted or simulated of the processes elements. [..] Read more

Abstract: The expedition processes of the metallurgical enterprise are characterized by the high complexity that results from wide product portfolio, considerable size of products or the ever-increasing complexity of individual orders. Expedition centers of metallurgical enterprises are historically adapted to the formerly prevailing rail transport, instead of the currently prevailing road transport, and during the development there was not implemented a continuous improvement system that would allow them to adapt effectively to changing conditions.
