Economic recovery? We bet by the internationalisation

The internationalisation of the Spanish company has turned into the key piece to help to go out of the acute crisis that azota to our industry. So much, that practically is the only real road that remains to begin to change the economic course, trace back and think again in the creation of employment.

In spite of being young in subjects of external market with regard to our competitors, our industry has given samples to be very appreciated in the world. In only 25 years, from the entrance in the CEE in 1986, have more than 40.000 exporting companies, that give employment to two million people. In the second semester of 2011, besides, the figures indicated that the sale of products and services in the outside had grown 17% and reached the 158 billion of euros. They are figures very far to the trillion of euros that pretends to export Germany in 2011, but that indicate that we are on the way correct.

In front of any challenge, more one of such dimensions like our future and the one of the next generations, it is necessary to start with maximum clear, know who are and what do. A form of desterrar the current uncertainty that almost remembers to the Fígaro of Mozart 'Non under piú thing are, thing faccio'.

Precisely, conscious of the big weight that has to have the internationalisation in the next years, the exporting companies know very very what does fault to be more competitive, increase the presence in the outside, especially of the SMEs, and be the engine of the economic recovery.

All they coincide with Aristotle when signalling that “the hope is the dream of the awake man”, but request aunar efforts to strengthen his presence further of our borders.

In this plan of internationalisation is essential the fast performance of the new government. The exporters need time and eases. It is necessary to adopt, of urgent form, a series of measures centred in the increase of the promotion, the unification of agents with performance in the outside and balance of the sobredimensionamiento of the strength of work.

The revitalisation of our industry goes through to reinforce the paper of agents like the Institute of External Trade (Icex) and the exporting associations. By each million of euros that the State invests in the external promotion, the companies export almost 1.500 million euros. Never so little it has served to give so much.

The new Government has to face changes so necessary like unifying the agencies of autonomic promotion under the coordination of the Icex with the aim to optimise resources and project a strong external image and merged. Besides, the exporting companies consider indispensable that keep the commercial administration in the field of the industry and the innovation. That is to say, avoid that the Office of State of Trade lose his current weight and remain integrated cheese cheese in the Foreign office.

In third place, it is necessary to work to balance the sobredimensionamiento of the strength of work that have purchased the companies in the years of bonanza. In these moments are still a lot of companies those that holds with own resources the number of employees but, sooner or later, will have to do adjust to the not to reactivate the national market, as it is the case of sectors like the one of the car.

According to the data of exports of the last semester of 2011, the perspectives for the external trade in 2012 are positive. If they take the measures indicated, will be able to continue awake with the dream of the hope, knowing very very 'thing are, thing faccio', who are and what do.
