Glencore case, Minister Urso: «Strategic zinc line, there is interest from other operators»

As for Sider Alloys , Urso added, "we are coordinating the last phase of the financial process with the banks for the necessary economic support to relaunch the industrial project that has been at a standstill for seven years. We will be able to do what others have failed to do and we will report on it at the table that I have called for January 30."

On Eurallumina , another Sulcis industry, «we are waiting for the Region's plan on the island's energy supply, which is vital for the company and in general for the industrial development of Sardinia. We must take into account that at present the assets are still frozen given that just today the Council of State in a precautionary session suspended the ruling of the Lazio Regional Administrative Court that went in the opposite direction. If the energy plan is unblocked we will be able to outline a solution at the table that I have already called for next January 20. For these reasons I have a preliminary meeting with the Region on Friday, in the spirit that has always distinguished me of full and loyal institutional collaboration. We are dealing with Sulcis cases with the same attention and determination with which we resolved the Sanac crisis as I assured the workers themselves when I visited the factory on February 6 last year».

Now "we are in the process of assigning the entire company complex to a large international player, as is also happening with the former Ilva plants that were placed under special administration on February 27. Not even a year has passed and we are already assigning the plants to another large industrial player. In just a few months, a historic turning point that relaunches the centrality of the Italian steel industry after more than a decade of crisis ."
