"Come Uilm - the national secretary of the union and in charge of the field of the shipbuilding one has declared, Mario Ghini - we have supported that we cannot accept a plan in which the solution of I throw again of Fincantieri passes through the reduction of the sites of the group and its consequent occupational reduction. Also recognizing the difficult situation of international market that today is lacking in positive signs for the future, for the Uilm it is necessary to safeguard an industrial group that its force from its productive integration and the oneness of the company has always drawn, for this we are available to a distance that returns more competitive Fincantieri on the markets, more efficient on the produced one but at the same time they will have to be safeguarded the occupational orders and all the industrial takeovers of the group. It is moreover necessary for the Uilm, also to light of the announcement today by Fincantieri - he has continued Ghini - than resumes yourself I confront the ministry of the economic Development because also the government must make its part in order to safeguard the more national navalmeccanico large group".
