The industry in risk (II): open Letter of the Spanish Industry to the Government
11 October 2012
And no only because the industry generate wealth and employment, that does it of substantial form, but because his activity sustains big part of the service sector, because it provides put of qualified work and an index of upper fixed employment to 85%, because it promotes the technological development and the innovation, and because, in definite, is the engine with which advance the economy and the society.
The Project of Law of fiscal measures for the energetic sustainability is an exclusively contrived instrument to give solution to the problem of the deficit tarifario, but at the same time obvious that the cost of billions of Euros that moves to the industrial companies of our country will relocate them in brief generating irreversible consequences on our economy.
If it puts in risk the future of the industry, if they put in risk the more than 250.000 million euros and two third parts of the Gross Industrial Product that generate the sectors signatories of this document, if they put in risk the more than 4 million places of qualified work that provide of direct and indirect form, and if it extinguishes the contribution of our industry to the national economy, no longer there will be companies to which impose an immoderate fiscal pressesure to finish with the deficit tarifario.
Therefore it is necessary that the Government comprise that the Project of Law has to modify so that treat to solve a problem, do not suppose to generate another a lot of elder. The Spanish industry, in the conditions of current competitiveness, can not assume an energetic cost of this magnitude. Any industry of any country could.
And the worst is that it will not be like consequence of the conditions of the market neither because we are not able to compete with other industries of the world. It will be because of a disproportionate legislative initiative that, in spite of pursuing a comprehensible and reasonable aim, has not foreseen that in his current terms will drag to our companies to the closing.
Along the last months have gathered us with all the people and public powers that have or could have competitions in the matter. One and several times. And we will follow doing it. Because the Project of Law has solution and can modify to fulfil his aims without putting to the industry in risk.
