The shipping and logistics group Mediterranean Shipping Company plans to acquire the plant of Wärtsilä of Finland in Trieste, where you assemble marine engines? Let's wait for a plan to evaluate the initiative. This is the response of the trade unions, which comes in the wake of yesterday's statements by the President of the MSC Group, Gianluigi Aponte, on the possible establishment in the Giuliano Plant of Wagon Construction Plants that have been picked up by the newspapers "Il Secolo XIX" in Genoa and "Il Piccolo" in Trieste.

"We don't understand," said the national secretary of the Uilm, Guglielmo Gambardella, learning the news - the reasons of an agreement between Wärtsilä and the Aponte Group outside the of the table that has been open for some time at the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy, where a path aimed at reindustrialization of the Trieste production site. We remind you that Wärtsilä has engaged with the government, the institutions and social partners to share any expressions of interest that would have been expressed by new investors. It seems clear to us that Wärtsilä and not they just play hole cards. And that's a point to be clarify immediately'. "We believe that the statements by Gianluigi Aponte, while being important in this regard the overall employment protection linked to the activities dismissed by the Finnish multinational - continued Gambardella - must be verified whether they correspond to the objective of ensure high-value production continuity added, to the enhancement of professionalism but, above all, whether they replace or supplement the project announced by Ansaldo Energia at the aforementioned table ministerial. The availability offered by Ansaldo Energia of Presenting an industrial project was a step in the right direction, with us to set up an aggregating hub of high-level technological content for the production of green energy and a national strategic supply chain. In this direction and in support of of reindustrialization was being built, also with the contribution of the trade unions, the envisaged Programme that serves the purpose'.

"As far as we are concerned," the secretary concluded national UILM - we have always reiterated that the objective of identify the best solution for the reindustrialization of the Trieste could only be reached if the country's system was was used with all the synergies necessary for a project so ambitious. For Uilm, this remains the only way to succeed. We hope that at tomorrow's meeting at the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy can clarify on how the government intends to proceed."

Representatives of FIM and FIOM also stated that during the of tomorrow's meeting at the Ministry await clarifications on the MSC project.
