Due to the deep Real State crisis in Spain is difficult to find buildings under construction nowadays. All the new development sites are at a standstill because of the lack of financing. Only few plots with small developments are built in the center or in consolidated areas of the cities, where the location assures certain sales, and they are usually financed by owner´s cooperatives. In this case the image is about a housing building for 80 apartments in the very center of Madrid. We can see the reinforced concrete structure of the building and a crane loading a pack of steel bars. Before the crisis, when the demand of material for construction was much bigger than now, the steel probably came from Turkey, China or other developing country with iron and steel industry. But now, because of the extreme decrease of the demand together with the antidumping policies of the European Union, the origin of that bars could be from the Spanish industry or from any other European country.
