64.Why didthe documentsmade by the Frenchstate aboutthe constructionworkers*being abusedbarelycontribute toimproving theconditionA.Because thelocal governorturned ablind eyetotheinstructions givenby higherofficials.B.Because someofthedescriptions weregroundless anddenied bythe inspectoron thesite.C.Because thelocal agentsfought backby filinga lawsuitagainst thealleged documents.D.Because the workerson therailwaywere contractedvolunteers thoughbeing treatedcruelly.

14.2bn ayear,or2%of thenewlycovered sectors9sales.Four-fifths ofthe burdenwill fallon steeland cement.Heavy industrymay passthe costsof CBAMto EUfirms thatuse thecarbon-intensive inputs.68Not everyoneagrees.Farmers andunions arefurious.Pekka Pesonen,head ofCopaCogeca,a farmers9lobby,says thatfertilisers accountfbr about35%ofthecost ofcrops such as wheat.The CBAMwould thusmakeit harderto competewith cheaperforeign grain.And thecosts willbe hard to passon,because consumersarereluctant topay morefor lowcarbon products,says MrPesonen.Some tradegroups areresponding bylobbying lawmakers.With somesuccess:in Marchthe EuropeanParliamentpassed anon-binding voteto keepthe freeallowances.Others willhedge bybuying extraallowanceswhen carbonprices arelow,as powercompanies nowdo routinely.69In MayThyssen kruppof Germanyteamed upwith thePort ofRotterdam toimport renewablehydrogento makegreen steel.Antoine VagneurJones ofBloombergnef,a researchfirm,identifies24small-scale hydrogenprojects inthe CBAMedsectors.Decarbonisation iscostly.Making cementwithathird lesscarbon addssome15%tothecost.ArcelorMittal,the world*s biggeststeelmaker andoneofEuropes largestemitters,expects toinvest anextra$10bn tocutcarbon by
