Fiom is opposed to the hypothesis of the sale of a quota Fincantieri shown from the government



Veteran from a visit in the United States, where last week has met president Barack Obama, returned in Italy Enrico Letta has clarified own declarations returned in American earth in topic of privatizations.

Interviewed from the "The Washington Post", the Italian Prime Minister had exposed the strategy of the government in order to diminish the national debt: "with the cut of the public expense", he had explained to the demand for Lally Weymouth to specify the plan of the executive in order to reduce the deficit. To the question of the American journalist on which entrances he intends to count the executive of Rome against the shown cuts to the expense, Read he had specified that they will be I yield of "a privatization process. I consider - it had added - that now the markets are ready to buy and we will sell assets publics. Fincantieri, for example, a ship yard. We will sell part of Tern, that it is the net national electrical worker. Naturally, not 100%, but 49%. We will introduce this plan of privatization and I consider that a lot important will be a step".

Returned in homeland, with a note of Palazzo Chigi, Read it has emphasized that "in topic of privatizations the numerical references to hypotheses of dismissioni brought back in an interview of the Prime Minister to "Washington Post" are from agreeing pure as indicatives of the will to offer control quotas at the market not. In matter - law in the official notice - the government will decide within the year, as expected from flat the Italy Destination, with the support of the Committee for the privatizations instituted near the ministry of the Economy and Finances".

To Lally Weymouth who had asked to it as the public expense in consideration of the strike threat will be cut advanced from the unions, Read it had answered: "of they are not content, but we will convince them".

Al moment the Italian Prime Minister seems not to have at all persuaded the Fiom Cgil, that it proclaims "not to the sale of the Fincantieri group". According to the union, "the announcement of the Prime Minister with respect to the intention to sell Fincantieri reopens newly and incomprensibilmente the issue of the privatization of an absolutely strategic company for the Italian industry and the entire national economy".

The Fiom remembers that against the privatization of Fincantieri, already tried in 2007, it was lined up, with the union, an immense front of institutional subjects and not, that the government convinced not to proceed in that direction. "It astonishes and it leaves been astounded - the Fiom finds - that this intention newly is announced while the field inside is up against a long period crisis of which in the same Fincantieri a plan of reorganization and acquisitions finalized to giving to positive perspectives to all the present sites and yards is coming true on the national territory".

According to the Fiom, he is instead "more and more urgent the definition and the start of specific politics for the field by the government, finalized to its consolidation and development, that it afford to value the activities carried out from the companies of the field: they go promoted - the union explains - the investments towards a productive diversification that produces occupation in Italy and goes stimulated a distance of substitution of the obsolete ship, with particular reference to that in cargo to the Marina Militare who, among other things, is a great public infrastructure. To such fine, the government must elaborate a national plan of mobility and the transports in a position to answering to the requirements of the Country and in a position to involving all the interested industrial fields directly".

"For these reasons, in recent days, together with Fim and Uilm - the Fiom remembers moreover - we have asked the government the convocation for the table for shipbuilding field for the naval one. The initiative announced from the government, on the contrary, reveals the intention of wanting itself to release from every responsibility regarding the guideline of the national economy and to the valorization of the public industrial patrimony. In particular, in the current Italian economic situation, this operation would have the character of an only finalized sale "to make case". Evidently this government does not want to take into consideration the catastrophic carried out experiences of privatization in the past, beginning from those of Telecom and Alitalia, and intends to contribute what is left to the ulterior dissipation of the Italian industry".

"Come Fiom - the union concludes - we consider that such choice deeply is mistaken and goes withdrawn because it risks to get worse the already critical situation of the group and the entire field of the navalmeccanica, of it compromises stability and perspectives and it puts to risk hundred of places of work in all Italy".
