LONDON--Tata Steel Ltd. (500470.BY) confirmed Wednesday that talks to sell its European long-products business and associated distribution facilities to Klesch Group have been discontinued.

Tata Steel, Europe's second-largest steelmaker by production capacity after ArcelorMittal (MT), had signed a memorandum of understanding with the group headed by Anglo-American industrialist Gary Klesch in October 2014 to sell the unit.

India-based Tata Steel took the decision this weekend to incorporate the business unit, which makes rail and wire rods, into Tata Steel U.K.

This "will enable [us] to determine the strategic options to be assessed and the appropriate actions to be taken," said Karl Koehler, Chief Executive of Tata Steel's European operations in a statement.

The news was first reported by the Financial Times on Monday in which it cited Mr. Klesch's fustration with the U.K. government for its apparent lack of interest in old-economy industries.
