法律消息人士周四表示，意大利最高法院维持了下级法院的一项裁决，下令基于健康和环境原因关闭南部城市塔兰托前伊尔瓦钢铁厂的高炉。
Italy's Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling ordering the shutdown of blast furnaces at the former Ilva steelworks in the southern city of Taranto, on health and environmental grounds, legal sources said on Thursday.
这一裁决阻碍了焦尔贾·梅洛尼政府挽救意大利最大钢铁制造商的努力，在大选不到一年前，给该工厂及其约 8,000 名正式员工增添了不确定性。
The ruling hampers efforts by Giorgia Meloni’s government to rescue the country's largest steelmaker, adding uncertainty for the plant and its roughly 8,000 direct employees less than a year before the general election.
最高法院驳回了对米兰法院一项裁决的上诉，该裁决曾基于健康和环境原因下令关闭高炉。
The Court of Cassation rejected an appeal against a decision by a Milan court which had ordered the furnaces to be shut on health and environmental grounds.
