Plan Ilva, few money for environmental rehabilitation – the manifesto

Plan Ilva, few money for environmental rehabilitation – the manifesto



Operai Ilva Taranto

The text of the decree law sull’Ilva Taranto and passed by the Council of Ministers December 24th, is still little more than a draft. These days have been prepared some changes, while between Monday and Tuesday are scheduled several meetings between the technicians of the legislative offices of the Ministry of Economic Development and the Presidency of the Council for the latest filings to the text, which will then be published in the Official Gazette.
According to allegations made by the premier Renzi and as published on the website of the Council of Ministers, the decree will not have more than 6-7 items, and will consist of two lines: the steel industry and the revival of tourism and cultural city , with a look to the protection of health and the environment.

As mentioned earlier, Ilva will be submitted in administration according to law Marzano, extended “to companies operating at least one factory of national strategic interest. ” This integration was necessary because at the time the Ilva is still owned by a private group (the Bank) and is not in a state of insolvency (prerequisite for the application of the Marzano): all to “ensure the continuation of ‘productive activity by ensuring that corporate resources are primarily intended for this purpose. “

The entry into extraordinary administration, which for Ilva will mark the end of the receivership began in June of 2013 under the government Letta, will start in the second half of January, to allow the Commissioner Piero Gnudi, to pay salaries to our employees the company in December.

The decree passed Wednesday, also gives the special commissioner (who seems to be even though with three different functions) powers “to implement the requirements laid down by the Authorization environmental integrated environment.” Similarly Commissioner will be allocated “sums seized Ilva, which feed into a special account. The management of the company will be considered public benefit activities and actions by the environmental plan are declared urgent and can not be postponed. ” The amounts seized spoken of, are actually those of the Riva group. Resources that Gnudi asked and “obtained” by prosecutors in Milan that unlocked, as provided by law Land of Fires launched last February, the “treasure” of offshore Riva 1.2 billion euro. Unlock when completely virtual, on which weighs both the appeal to the Supreme Court filed by the lawyers of Adriano Riva (who raised an objection of unconstitutionality), is the difficulty or impossibility (?), To obtain the funds made payable to eight trusts protected in the tax haven of the British Islands of Jersey and deposited into the coffers of Swiss banks UBS and Aletti group Banco Popolare. In addition, liquid resources would amount to no more than 800 million euro, of which only 164 million are in Italy.

Which, if things do not change, will expose the government Renzi to more than a few problems in the implementation of the plan for environmental remediation, the Plan Environmental approved last spring by the government that seems to be reviewed in its application in time.

Speech even more nebulous however, the future corporate training company. Gaining increasing ground the idea of ​​resorting to Fintecna, the company publishes transferred from MEF to Deposits and Loans Fund, and the creation of a new .co.

This uncertainty does remain vigilant of unions, as in the draft of the order there is no reference to the issue of employment, as well as banks and Confindustria: the first because with receivables for EUR 1.4 billion, the second because it fears a negative impact on the armature (in months in great suffering) and suppliers (who are still waiting for a balance of 440 million euro).

More cold reaction of the city. Divided between a local policy that welcomes the initiative of the government – with the mayor Ezio Stefàno (Sel) yesterday said: “Maybe we are on the right track because, this time, there is the total involvement of the city of Taranto. I also appreciate that the government does not want to question the integrated environmental authorization although I would like more certainty on the timing to be respected “- a general distrust and opposition of environmental groups.

As for Taranto, the Decree establishing a ‘single institutional governance “through” a specific institutional contract development “, which will be signed by an appropriate table for the permanent institutional Ionian area, coordinated by Palazzo Chigi and various ministries. The table will be responsible for cleaning up the area outside Ilva, the port and the Arsenal of the Navy. Expected strengthening ARPA Puglia (the Regional Environmental Protection Agency) and the authorization for the region, in 2015, to provide for the use of 30 million euro (25 had been earmarked by law Land of Fires) for the establishment of a center for the diagnosis and treatment of childhood cancers. But we are still the words and promises.
