Italy: meeting government-trade unions, within two weeks Glencore will reveal his intentions of Alcoa

Meeting at Palazzo Chigi between the Government and representatives of the metalworkers' unions to take stock of the Alcoa dispute.

The Government has announced that within two weeks we will know the intentions of Glencore, the Swiss multinational in talks to detect the aluminum plant of the US group which is located in Sardinia.

The news came directly from the Prime Minister's office after the meeting. The question, to disclose the status of negotiations between Alcoa Portovesme and Glencore has long been the center of several parliamentary questions.

For the Government was attended by the Undersecretary to the Prime Minister Claudio De Vincenti and the Deputy Minister for Economic Development, Teresa Bellanova.

Undersecretary De Vincenti, after repeating that the node of the cost of energy has been approached with a proposal compatible with the European legislation but which allows you to keep it at the lowest levels in Europe, he returned to ensure maximum commitment to work to ensure that the prospects for economic recovery in the Sulcis site remain open. "The government – said De Vincenti- is determined not to throw in the towel".
Next meeting later this month, when the unions will be called for an update on developments.
