In a note the minister of the Economic Development, Paolo Romani, has explained that, having taken note "that as a result of the presentation of the rough draft of Industrial Plan Fincantieri 2011-2014 the unions, also recognizing a context of international crisis of the navalmeccanico field, and the necessity to take part with a business reorganization that assures stable perspectives of competitiveness of the Italian yards, has asked the withdrawal for the rough draft of same plan; that the company, considered the importance of the navalmeccanico field and the occupational weight that it covers in particular territorial contexts, has withdrawn the introduced rough draft of Plan; that from the analysis of the carried out market, and the logistic structures of the current yards, criticalities emerge to face with defined projects", has entrusted to the business center the prosecuzione of confronts on the aspects of reorganization and efficiency recovery and has asked the company "to search new industrial solutions and new organizational models that where allow possible the increase of the productive volumes (examining new producing new markets and)".

The note continues specifying that the minister "promotes with the Regions interested to the more important infrastructural participations, Campania and Liguria, since the next week specific tables of confronts for the definition of adapted industrial solutions" and that, "with this end in view, they will be managed under the direction of the ministry of the economic Development, the more suitable instruments for the support also financial of the investment processes that will become necessary"; moreover "it opens near the ministry of the Job a table for the definition of the necessary delays of the social shocks-absorber, yard for yard".

At last minister Romani has restated the engagement of the government "to support new communitarian addresses in favor of shipbuilding the naval one, in agreement with vice-president Tajani, let alone to accelerate the finalizzazione of public resources already allocated in favor of the field" and has announced that, to the term of these engagements, "all the parts and the institutions interested to the perspectives of Fincantieri will be convened near the ministry of the economic Development for the conclusion of confront and the wished subscription of a general understanding that answers to the requirements of industrial development and safeguard of the occupation".

The decision to withdraw the industrial plan is received with satisfaction from all the unions and the representatives of the regional institutions interested by the assumed closing of the yards. "That achieved today to the table of I confront between government, unions and Fincantieri - the city council members to the economic Development and the Job of the Region Liguria, Renzo Guccinelli and Enrico Vesco have commented - is sure a positive result, obtained thanks to the combined will and to the determination put in field from everywhere social workers, unions, institutions and". "The withdrawal of the plan by Fincantieri and the engagement of the government to refinance some military store clerks, comprised two new frigates FREMM - they have continued Guccinelli and Vesco - is a lot important for the site of the Muggiano and that of Riva Trigoso; now servants whom undersigned comes quickly the program agreement in order to allow the realization of the upset with sea of Sestri West". The regional city council members of the Liguria have invited the government "to speed up and not to lose more time as she has happened in the past, also in order to understand as facing the most serious crisis of the shipbuilding one and to so allow with Fincantieri to exceed the difficult moment without dismantlings or closings".

Satisfaction is expressed also by the city council member to the Transports and the productive Activities of the Campania Region, Sergio Vetrella: "that today - it has explained - is an important day not only for the workers of Fincantieri, but for all the industrial field of the Campania. With the withdrawal of the plan that previewed the closing of Castellammare, Fincantieri recognizes that - as we have always supported - not only from the economic point of view, but also from that social historian and it must concentrate all the efforts in order to write up a plan in a position to throwing again a traditionally tied truth to the Campania, from always feather in the cap of our shipbuilding one, that it is a strategic section for our territory". "With the other involved Regions - it has added Vetrella - we are following and we will continue to follow evolving itself of the event, than under no circumstances it can and it must penalize the workers and their families, above all in a moment of general economic crisis as what we are crossing. The tables that are previewed, that in particular regional one in which we will engage ourselves with force, will have to carry to a serious industrial plan and in a position to restarting really and structurally the development of the company in Campania, so allowing with the Region to invest the not many resources available in initiatives really in a position to generating fallen back meaningful and long-lasting for the economy and the occupation. For this I thank minister Romani, the summits of the company, the Municipality of Castellammare and the labor organizations, that they are demonstrating of wanting itself to occupy of the difficult dispute with seriousness and engagement".

Also Unimpresa (National Union of Enterprises), anticipates to the today's encounter with a delegation guided by Donato Lardieri, responsible Lavoro, and Vincenzo Longobardi, delegated to the social Transactions and social security, has emphasized as, with the withdrawal of the industrial plan, the navalmeccanica company has collected the invitation of the entrepreneurial organization: "the turnabout announced from the managing director of Fincantieri, Giuseppe Bono, on the industrial plan - Lardieri has confirmed - receives our indications totally. In this way the phantom of the lay-off for 2,550 dependent of the company moves away, dislocated between the plants of Sestri Ponente and Castellamare di Stabia, let alone the reorganization of that of Riva Trigoso".

For the national president of Unimpresa, Paolo Longobardi, is necessary hour to rethink and to throw again the productive ability to the company: "it is clear - it has explained - than until when the company it can recover its inefficiencies, not with participations upstream on the causes that determine to them but unloading them to valley on the job conditions, total inefficiency of the system will stretch to consolidate, but with an effect of lowering of the industrial quality of all the process and also of the same competitive ability". To this it goes added the node of the entire system of the induced one: "today - it has continued the leader of Unimpresa - the contract companies abrade the bottom of Barile are in terms of compression of the costs that of subjugation of the dependent to unacceptable conditions. A critical threshold has reached beyond which the induced one is not more in a position to participating with an adequate qualitative contribution to the construction of the ships. This tendency is not invert and the entire productive system of Fincantieri, that it is founded on a mix of internal and external resources, has entered unavoidably in a serious crisis".

According to Unimpresa, the industrial force of the Fincantieri group "would have to be concentrated on the segments high tech, without misleading illusions on the constructions low-cost. The courses of the market - Longobardi has said - demonstrate that to the impressive increase of the world-wide question in some segments (ships in order to bore, ships in order to transport the oil, the offshore gas, platforms) are able to saturate the increasing wide productive ability to the emergent Countries. This situation, even though founded on optimistic forecasts for the next years, lascerebbe to Fincantieri, and the other European constructors, an extraordinary occasion in order to consolidate and to grow in the higher segments, with innovations of producing process and of. The investments must therefore be focused and concentrated to support this choice underlying: to compete on the quality and the producing innovation of and not on the costs. It must emphasize - it has concluded Longobardi - than the investments on the systems of planning, the systems, the logistics would have to be accompanied from politics of "adaptation" of the organic ones, of restoration of the professionalities that have been reduced, or quite missing persons, in the fast process of reciprocation of the force job that has happened in the years precedence”.

The general secretary of the FIOM, Maurizio Landini, has evidenced as “the withdrawal of the industrial plan is a first turned out important of the mobilization of the workers and the workers of Fincantieri. Draft - it has added - of an indispensable step in order to continue a distance of I throw again of a fundamental field for the national economy. In this way the risk is asked for to lose thousands of places of work. The engagement of the government in this dispute must grow is for interventions direct that in order to stimulate European participations”.

The withdrawal of the industrial plan - the general secretary of the UILM, Rocco Palombella has said, “is how much we expected”. “That flat he did not go just well and we are opposite at the close of the sites, to the reduction of the organic ones and have restated a plan of we throw again for the plants and politics of technological innovation in favor of the realized produced ones”. “Now - he has continued Wood pigeon - he opens himself I confront business and the regional tables. Single june with the company is cancelled the reunion previewed for 6 mondays. We consider that as is right to sign an agreement of program for Sestri in Liguria, it is necessary to make equally for the yard of Castellammare di Stabia that needs urgently of a restructured basin”. “Today - it has concluded - new negotiations are restarted and depend on the encounter that will hold to Brussels next monday in the center of the European Community. We are pleased of the good results determined from our action filed by labor union. Now the Fincantieri dispute recommences daccapo with determination and responsibility by all”.
