AI-generated summary
Confindustria puts forward its requests in view of the economic maneuver and the European measures on energy.
For the measure "we asked for a tax break on mergers or incorporation or acquisitions". The president of Confindustria, Emanuele Orsini, said this in his speech at the first public assembly of Confindustria Prom, the Federation representing companies in the advanced tertiary sector, underlining that it would be a "boost" for the growth and productivity of companies.
In Italy "we must continue to push on investments, whether material or immaterial. Let's see what happens with artificial intelligence". The strengthening of hyper-amortization is good. "Let's add the intangible part which is fundamental for training" says Orsini on industrialists' expectations about the maneuver. The industrialists confirm their attention on the "housing plan, one of the issues to be attractive, certainly, if we want to keep our young people in our country". And there is "the issue of wages", says Orsini again, also mentioning the open table between companies and unions for a new inter-confederal agreement.
"I really appreciated these words, let's implement them. We will do our part", says Orsini, referring to the steps on energy in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's speech in Parliament. "I really appreciated his words, that's what we've been saying for a while." "The bill decree should arrive soon, it should be a relief for our businesses", he adds. "Tomorrow morning we will be in Brussels to present our requests", says the leader of the industrialists speaking at the presentation of the autumn report of the Viale dell'Astronomia study centre: on the table are the issues of energy costs and more generally the competitiveness of the European manufacturing system. With nodes like the Ets. "Europe is at a great crossroads, it must give a great response", he says: today "he is the referee with the whistle" but "we are not able to play the match". "We have left industry far away, we must put it back at the centre. Tomorrow in Brussels we will also talk about this". Meanwhile, in Italy "we must continue to push on investments".
