ArcelorMittal, one of the candidates for the worst EU lobby award, is the world's largest private steel company, producing 10 per cent of the world's steel. It is also one of Europe's largest emitters of CO2. Yet the company successfully lobbied the European Commission on behalf of Europe's biggest polluters to continue getting free greenhouse gas emissions permits until at least 2020.
