The revision of the Memorandum of Understanding on Green Chemistry, signed in 2011, and the need to convene the control room in Rome to guarantee continuous management of the project. The territory, social and institutional partners travel in synergy and ask for new input from the Region governed by Alessandra Todde. It is the summary of the intervention of the confederal and trade unions, in the council chamber of the Municipality of Porto Torres, for a discussion with the councilors and the mayor Massimo Mulas. A plenary session of the permanent council commissions, which saw the intervention of the confederal secretaries, CGIL CISL and UIL, respectively represented by Massimiliano Muretti, Alessandro Marcellino and Giovanni Tavera, and Davide Tilocca (Femca-Cisl) category secretary, for outline the picture of the industrial situation. The objective is to team up to carry forward a shared development model and overcome the problem of procurement, land reclamation and the Nuraghe Project, the relegation of Eni areas and the bioeconomy.

Massimiliano Muretti, CGIL secretary of the Sassari Chamber of Work, outlined all the stages of the mobilization of the north-west territory, starting from the "Pact for the Development of the Province of Sassari", signed in Nule on 7 December 2021 by Tips, mayors of the Metropolitan Network, Industrial Consortium, Province, trade unions and social partners. «It is essential that the Green Chemistry project takes on industrial characteristics: Matrìca is still an artisanal company in terms of size and products - explained Muretti -, a space possible only with the establishment of the Control Room, so that a real program agreement can be built, in able to understand in what terms that project can be developed today, in light of the things that happened in synergy with all the subjects involved. A transition made with governor Solinas, first with Prime Minister Draghi and then with President Meloni."

They ask that the next step be taken by the current governor Alessandra Todde, to whom the unions offer an overall vision of the territory and a tool, useful for the economic and political planning within her competence, sustainable and challenging in the relationship with the National Government. Acting as an intermediary is the regional dem councilor, Antonio Spano. The development objectives also include land reclamation and the Nuraghe Project, owned by the Eni group, and the platform built in Minciaredda, an important plant that paves the way for the rehabilitation of the land. «Another important aspect is that the industrial consortium has activated the procedure for the reconveyance of areas unused by Eni which, instead, must be made available to the territory for new ventures», underlined Muretti. «This is a political choice that we trade union organisations, consulted by the Consortium, considered correct, a direction in which we need to move because the areas must be valorised».

Finally, on procurement, a problem that is also linked to the issue of accidents and safety in the workplace. «Increasingly low-priced tenders create precarious working conditions – adds Marcellino (Cisl) – and the longer this goes on, the worse it will be. An industry that is emptying and losing work units every day, with workers forced into critical hygienic conditions in the working environments." From 15 thousand workers, today there are just 1,100 units, both direct and induced. «The basic chemistry is now being dismantled - adds Tavera (Uil) -, the tire plant in Porto Torres is about to close, therefore we need to focus on two things: renewables and chemistry from renewable sources. To do this we need to give input to the Region which can do a lot to encourage green production."

For mayor Massimo Mulas «the meeting in Porto Torres reiterated once again how this administration, since its inauguration, has embraced the sharing method capable of gathering all the actors around a single table and without distinction of political colors of the vast area. For this synergy to find concrete strength, it is essential that the Region also plays its part and exerts its weight in discussions with investee companies such as Eni, leveraging the need for full correspondence between the needs of the territory and industrial planning. If, on the one hand, we are fully in favor of productive activities that give new life to the industrial vocation of the area, on the other hand, anyone who intends to settle here must take note of our intention to proceed in a compact manner, stating that we are no longer available to open new credit lines without having closed the previous ones, first of all that of green chemistry".
