Aires:TS) (BMV:TS) (MTA Italy:TEN) further to its announcement on April 27,
2004, confirmed today that, together with Sidor, a Venezuelan steel producer in
which it has an indirect investment, it has completed the acquisition from
Posven, of an industrial facility for the production of pre-reduced hot

technology developed by Hylsamex, a Mexican steel producer, has been shut down
