And meanwhile the face to face between the executive and the top management of ArcelorMittal, scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. The meeting was postponed to Wednesday morning, when the premier Giuseppe Conte he will sit at the table with Ad Morselli. "A contract and tomorrow we will be inflexible on the rcompliance with commitments", The president of the council said, adding that" they participated in a tender with public evidence and in Italy the rules are respected. "
It will be the first time to understand the real intentions company. In the letter sent to extraordinary commissioners, ArcelorMittal explained his step back with theabolition dell 'criminal immunity – deleted from Save Business Decree through a amendment at first signing Barbara Lezzi and also voted by Pd is Italy Viva – and with the problems related toblast furnace 2, at risk shutdown in the event that in a short time (December 13) is not put in safety with works that have been prescribed by the judiciary in 2015 and never executed fromextraordinary administration.
But behind the reasons most argued by the multinational, there remains the crisis of steel market that provokes 2 million euros of losses per month in the Taranto plant. Between old plants, prescriptions and falling demand, ArcelorMittal is in the red and the announcement of disengagement is read by many as a violent move to try to force the government to bargain new agreement that foresees less busy (current are 10,700, 1,260 of which in layoff fund ordinary) and a rental fee lighter.
The times, in any case, are tight: the company asked the commissioners to take over the management of the steelworks within end of November appealing to the impossibility of carrying out the industrial plan and environmental. And he has already written down the desire to open a contentious in the event that the extraordinary administration should reject the withdrawal from the sender. A hypothesis that at the moment seems the most probable. From the premier Conte to the ministers Patuanelli, Costa and Fraccaro, the reasons for the farewell are defined "unjustified". But meanwhile Italia Viva with Matteo Renzi and the Democratic Party with the group leader in the Chamber, Graziano Delrio, announced that two are ready amendments – one for each political force – for the return of the penal shield. "First come the workers", explained the exponent dem. IS Matteo Salvini he says he is ready to vote for a "useful measure to save jobs".
FYI NOW FOR NOW
14 – Marcucci: "Conte comes to Parliament"
"In the next few hours, the PD will file an urgent request for information to the Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte on the ex Ilva issue. We believe that the president should come to report in Parliament the next session or anyway in a short time ”. This was announced by the president of the senators Pd Andrea Marcucci. “We remind the Premier – Marcucci emphasizes – that the Senate has approved an agenda that commits the Government to guarantee, quickly and by any appropriate action for these purposes, the permanence of the productive activity of the iron and steel complex of the former Ilva di Taranto, also guaranteeing, in this way, the safeguarding of direct employment levels and those related to the induced one ”.
13:55 – Zingaretti: "Do not unload on workers"
"The cost of uncertainty on industrial policies cannot be relieved, once again, on workers and cannot jeopardize the industrial conversion and health and environmental protection of a community". This was underlined by Nicola Zingaretti in a note. "At the same time, Arcelor Mittal does not find alibis about a business plan and an environmental plan that must be respected, re-launching the site and carrying out the promised remediation measures. The polluter pays, but whoever has to implement an environmental plan cannot be held criminally liable for past and not his responsibilities. We will propose parliamentary initiatives in this sense ".
13.40 – Palombella (Uilm): "Masterpiece of politics"
"We are facing a dramatic situation, a great masterpiece of politics. And it has been done scientifically; we wanted to put the plant in a position to stop giving ArcelorMittal the book to resume dictating the conditions ". Thus the Uilm leader, Rocco Palombella, on the sidelines of the restart of the negotiation on the renewal of the metalworkers' contract, comments on the situation after ArcelorMittal's decision to leave the ownership of the former Ilva group's factories following the Parliamentary vote which he suppressed, with Dl salvo enterprises, criminal immunity for the heads of the multinational.
13.26 – King David (Fiom): "Remove giant alibi"
"I find that the government has provided the Ex Ilva with a giant alibi on compliance with the agreement. A giant alibi. And not offering a certain picture is an element that is the opposite of industrial policy. A certain legislative framework is a necessity: to launch an immunity that was not permanent because it would follow the environmental schedule and remove it just 2 months later and claim that this has no meaning, I find it was really a very big own goal by the government ", so the Fiom leader, Francesca King David.
13.16 – Count: "Jindal? Our interlocutor is Arcelor "
"Tomorrow I will meet the company management, I will not meet Jindal. Our interlocutor is who is now and who must respect the contractual commitments ". The president of the Council, Giuseppe Conte, said this to those who asked him about the rumors that Matteo Renzi would be in contact with the Jindal group for a new consortium for the former Ilva.
13.15 – Tomorrow garrison of the workers in Taranto
The meeting of the Factory Council called urgently yesterday by Fim Cisl-Fiom Cgil and Uilm Uil of Taranto to decide the possible mobilizations following the announcement of Arcelor Mittal to withdraw from the rental contract of the former Ilva steel plant of the Ionian capital. Considering that there are important meetings scheduled in the next few hours and open questions (in the afternoon a company-trade union meeting is scheduled and tomorrow the meeting in Rome with the president of the council Giuseppe Conte), the unions have decided that the works council remains united in permanently while there will be a garrison of workers next to the company management in the morning. "Obviously if updates were to arrive today or tomorrow, further initiatives are not excluded," Biagio Prisciano, assistant secretary of the FIM CISL of Taranto-Brindisi, explains to Adnkronos.
13.03 – Delrio: "Pd ready amendment for return to shield"
"First come the workers. We have already prepared an amendment to return to the previous situation in ex-Ilva and remove any pretext from anyone ". Graziano Delrio, the leader of the Democratic Party in the Chamber of Deputies, commented on the announcement by Arcelor Mittal of abandoning the former Ilva plant in Taranto.
12.57 – Patuanelli: "There are no clauses on the penal shield"
"There is no withdrawal clause linked to the so-called penal shield. There is a withdrawal clause in case the environmental plan changes (DPCM 29 September 2017, which integrated and modified another 2014 DPCM), something that never happened. There is no implicit or explicit reference to criminal immunity in the elements of the agreement and the contract ". Thus stated Stefano Patuanelli, Minister of Economic Development.
12.55 – EU Commission: "Private decision, no comment"
The decision to withdraw from the management of the former Ilva of Taranto announced by the Arcelor Mittal steel group "is the decision of a private company", therefore the European Commission "has no comment to make". Commission spokeswoman Mina Andreeva said during a press briefing in Brussels.
12.51 – Count: "We will be inflexible"
"A contract has been stipulated and tomorrow we will be adamant about meeting commitments by meeting Arcelor Mittal". The president of the council Giuseppe Conte has said it adding that "they have participated in a competition with public evidence and in Italy the rules are respected".
12.46 – Salvini: "Ready to vote amendment that saves seats"
"If the government brings a useful measure to save jobs, it will have the support of the League. This is our commitment. "Thus the leader of the League Matteo Salvini, at the demonstration in Naples. "But if the government goes on clinging to codicils, we will be barricaded in Parliament – added Salvini – we are not joking with the work of 10 thousand people".
12.40 – In the afternoon I meet Taranto workers with the CEO
Today at 5 pm the metalworkers' unions will meet ArcelorMittal's managing director Lucia Morselli in the Taranto steel plant. It is learned from union sources on the sidelines of the unitary works council which is taking place in the presence of the delegates of Fim, Fiom and Uilm. The comparison was requested by the trade unions themselves after the communication of the company that requested the termination of the lease for the purchase.
12.25 – ArcelorMittal applies to the Court
The request to the Court of Milan to ascertain the reasons that led the steel multinational to withdraw from the contract for the lease and acquisition of the former Ilva group's plants was filed this night by the ArcelorMittal top management. This is what Adnkronos learns the day after ArcelorMittal announced its withdrawal from the contract or its resolution following the agreement signed in 2018.
12 – Fraccaro: "Unjustified withdrawal"
"The government does not accept ultimatums. We believe that the withdrawal is not justified, as stated by the company instead. The government immediately convened the social partners and the company itself, will meet them and then take its decisions. " Thus Riccardo Fraccaro, undersecretary of state to the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, on the sidelines of the Ecomondo ribbon-cutting ceremony, today in Rimini.
11.54 – Costa: "The environment has nothing to do with farewell"
Regarding the world of the environment, explains Minister Costa, "if ArcelorMittal signed an environmental addendum to the environmental plan freely and convection a little over a year ago and they are doing it, even with a minimum of advance, I can't believe that a company with a planetary dimension like ArcelorMittal in one year and another then changes its mind. It seems original to me. So what's the real motivation? "" As long as you respect the environmental plan you don't have to worry about having or not having criminal immunity. They are respecting it, they are just anticipating it, so the criminal immunity for environmental aspects has no reason to be, ”concludes Costa.
11.39 – Financial sources: "Cdp commitment is boutade"
The hypothesis of a group that sees the entry of Cassa and Depositi e Prestiti is a ‘boutade’. To exclude this possibility are financial sources contacted by the Adnkronos, in reference to news according to which the former Premier Matteo Renzi, would be at work for an alternative that would replicate the consortium, taken against ArcelorMittal, with the Indians of Jindal, Arvedi and Cdp. "There is absolutely nothing," the same sources report, highlighting that Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, which is not a fund to save companies, from statute cannot intervene in rescue operations of companies in crisis.
11.35 – Renzi: "Amendment for new shield"
"The problem is that I think Mittal wants to go and is looking for pretexts." This was stated by Matteo Renzi on e-news. "The problem here is to see if anyone wants to shut down Taranto to get a potential competitor out of the way. It is a risk that many have evoked since the time of the race, in 2017. But precisely for this reason I believe that we can easily recover the question of the criminal shield even with an amendment to the tax law that is about to arrive in Parliament (the colleague Lella Paita and many of us will sign it ").
11.33 – Taranto workers towards mobilization
The factory council convened urgently by Fim, Fiom and Uilm last night is underway at the Taranto steel plant, following the communication by ArcelorMittal to terminate the rental agreement with acquisition of Ilva Spa and some subsidiaries. There is tension between workers who fear immediate repercussions after the announcement of the ad Lucia Morselli of the progressive suspension of production, starting with the hot zone. Pending forms of mobilization are pending the confrontation between the government and the company.
"We are facing – say the secretaries of the unions – a real blackmail by the multinational and a lack of planning of industrial policies by the government that continues to not address a hot topic like the environmental, occupational and industrial future of Taranto and around noon ”.
11.32 – Landini: "Return immunity"
"The government must remove all alibis from Arcelor Mittal, applying the agreement that was signed at the time. It is necessary for the government to return to what was agreed in early September, that is to the logic that Arcelor Mittal cannot be blamed for things that may concern those who managed the company before her ”. This was said by the secretary of the CGIL, Maurizio Landini, speaking at Radio Anch'io of the Ilva case, clearly responding "yes" to the dry question if immunity should be restored.
11.31 – Buffagni: "The shield is an excuse"
"The Ilva problem was in the air, we are now working to protect employment and the environment." This was stated by the deputy minister for economic development Stefano Buffagni, arriving at the Milan fair for the inauguration of the 77th edition of Eicma, the world motorcycling fair. "The judicial shield – he added – was removed because in this country the parliament is sovereign, the multinationals are not sovereign and therefore a choice has been made but today it is used as an excuse because the company loses more than a million and half a day during production due to the lack of demand and are therefore looking for a scapegoat. We must address the issue because we believe that the dignity of work, the protection of the environment and also respect for contracts are fundamental ”. "Tomorrow President Conte has summoned Arcelor Mittal to Palazzo Chigi – concluded Buffagni – we will tackle the issue seriously because we are talking about a fundamental sector for the country".
11.03 – Calenda: "Pack of amateurs, scoundrels"
"These are a bunch of amateurs who never worked outside politics, don't know what a factory is, they don't know what it costs to do it, what it costs to keep it. The right word is scoundrels ”. Thus Carlo Calenda, MEP of Siamo Europei and former minister of economic development, interviewed by Simone Spetia and Maria Latella Calenda at 24 Mattino su Radio 24, commented on the moves of the majority that led to ArcelorMittal's decision to withdraw from the former Ilva. "The criminal shield was removed because at a certain point the PD, after putting the criminal shield, decided to please Barbara Lezzi and 15 senators of the 5 Star Movement, so we risk losing the largest European steelworks, the largest noon plant, the largest 4.2 billion investor for 40 years. I don't know if this seems like a thing to do, I worked 3 years to get this investor to Taranto ”.
9.57 – Sled meeting with Count-ArcelorMittal
It will be held tomorrow at 11 in Palazzo Chigi, as we learn, the meeting between the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte and the top management of ArcelorMittal. At the center the decision of the multinational to leave the former Ilva group plants acquired in 2018, following the decision of the Parliament to abolish the immunity from penal charges against the company's directors.
9.28 – Confindustria: "Instability makes investors run away"
"The constant changes in regulations, the interventions with a straight leg on criminal laws, the instability of the framework not only do not attract investments but make those who are there escape." Thus the Confindustria CEO, Marcella Panucci, on the sidelines of the hearing on the tax bill. "The Ilva affair is emblematic and follows a decision made in Parliament in recent weeks to revoke one of the qualifying points of the contract that the investor had signed with the Italian state. I hope that those who have to understand what the consequences of unreasonable and unmediated choices are ”.
