Perhaps the final chapter on the fate of theex ilvabecause the government has opened the preferential channel with Baku Steel. It would not only be economic diplomacy: on the table there is the future of the largest steel center in Europe. The negotiation between the commissioners of Acciaierie d’Italia and Ilva in extraordinary administration and the Cordata Azera led by Baku Steel Company He obtained the political green light.
A passage that opens the doors to a possible epochal transition: From steel to methane, From coal to electric ovens. At stake there are billions, thousands of workers, a system that burns again and a city, Taranto, which is waiting to understand if this is really the beginning of the end or only the umpteenth episode of an infinite industrial saga.
Pressing of the commissioners, the opinion of the Committee
The executive’s decision came after, on March 21, the extraordinary representatives of the two industrial realities formally urged a dicastery authorization. The request was accompanied by a favorable opinion expressed by the surveillance committee, which positively evaluated the interlocution proposal made by the foreign group.
The protagonists of the industrial proposal
The team that guides the pressing on Taranto is not just a combination of investors. Behind the Baku Steel Company and theAzerbaijan Business Development Fund there is also the state manus state manus: theAzerbaijan Investment Company. A trident azero that has exceeded the offers of the big names of steel without too much effort, the American Bedrock Industries and the Indiana Jindal Steel International.
Priority to Caucasian consortium
The official communication of the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy specifies that the comparison with the Azero group will take place in a preferential way. This implies a direct lane, without the immediate activation of other parallel negotiation paths.
The plane of the Cordata Azera for the ex Ilva includes a billion euros to acquire the polea figure that incorporates about 500 million relating to the warehouse value. The Consortium promises Four billion in five years For industrial interventions, including two electric ovens designed to free themselves from coal. And a re -enchantment ship ready to dock in Taranto, as a manifesto of the transition.
The next moves on the table
The group proposes thehiring about 7 thousand workersa figure to be calculated on the entire corporate agglomeration, which today touches the ten thousand. Not all current workers would therefore be absorbed in the new configuration, but a significant part yes. And that number could also go up, according to the Puglia newspaper reports, but it is not guaranteed.
Between incoming and blazing regasifiers to be archived, there is also a non -irrelevant chapter: i 5.5 billion of public support requestsbetween credits, energy and SACE guarantees. A dizzying figure that will be the subject of political discussion.
Employment, incentives and state participation
One also inserts a public share of minority in the future owner structure. The application of the national protection measures and the Opinion of the Antitrust Authority are part of this setting to be written. But it is the numbers of employment that keep the climate in the balance.
Loris Scarpa, national manager of Fiom Cgil, said: he said:
The question of those who will take over from the commissioner management is a game that is discussed with the union, someone else cannot discuss (…). Our positions are always those: no redundancies, no dismissal, and then to run the discussion on the transition.
The environmental revision is underway
In the meantime, the Ministry of the Environment comes to the heart of theinvestigation for the new authorization structure. A technical-political dossier in which the Region, Municipalities, Arpa, Higher Institute of Health and, not least, the technicians of the Dicastery sit. Among the nodes addressed in these days: waste management, waste and plants for the containment of substances such as benzene and naphints.
The ISS defined the incomplete Health impact assessment developed by Adi; The ministry asked for a review. The game on the age, the real one, has just begun. The technical opinion could arrive already in the next few days, then it will be up to the Services Conference and finally to the decree signed officially.
