Spanish union CCOO asks the government to clarify which it will be the future of Navantia in the civil naval production
According to the labor organization, the future of the company must preview a diversified industrial production, with military constructions and civil ships, offshore, naval repairs and wind
September 5, 2014
In the 2004 EU commission and the Spanish State they have reached an agreement on the aids of State that imposes until the end of this year a limitation to the civil naval production of the navalmeccanica society Spanish Navantia, that it has been born in the 2005 as a result of plan of restructure of the navalmeccanico group Izar. In sight for such date the industrial Federation of Spanish union CCOO (Confederación Sindical de Comisiones Obreras) has asked the government to make clarity urgently on which it will be the future of the ship yards of Navantia.
In fact, second the labor organization, the end of the prohibition to exercise activity in the civil segment will not place term to the uncertainty that weighs on the navalmeccanica company for a long time, uncertainty - it has denounced CCOO - aggravated from the inexplicable decision of the government to do so as that the society depends on the Defense Ministry. CCOO Industry has emphasized that behind the last decisions of the executive a project is hidden in order to create an industrial pole of the defense in Spain. "One presumes - it has found the union - that this decision could mean the abandonment of the civil activity and this would have most serious repercussions on uses it of the ship yards, on the areas and regions in which they are placed". CCOO Industry therefore has asked the government to clarify which are its plans and in particular which is the configuration and the industrial project that the executive has planned for the company and which impact will have on the plants and the occupation.
For the union, the future of Navantia must preview a diversified industrial production that it includes the military construction and all the types of civil ships, the offshore market, the activities of naval repair and the segment of wind energy. "These - it has evidenced CCOO Industry - are the pillars that, as a minimum, would have to underlie any future project and this union reject a scene that passes through the abandonment of the civil activity".
