Arcelor Mittal's plans for an
environmental clean-up while saving jobs at the huge ILVA steel
plant in Taranto are not satisfactory, Labour and Industry
Minister Luigi Di Maio said after meeting unions on Monday.
Di Maio said the plan to save thousands of jobs at the former
ILVA plant in Taranto is not in line with expectations.
"We expect proposals on the employment plan front where more
must be done," he said.
"We need sure guarantees for employment" at Europe's largest
steelmaker, the minister said.
Di Maio also said the Italo-Indian consortium's plan for an
environmental clean-up at the highly polluting steel plant was
"not satisfactory".
He said "we need guarantees from the company that will ensure
an environmental improvement".
Di Maio said that "strongly improved proposals are needed".
He said the premise for a resumption of talks with the unions
was a better offer on savings jobs.
