Deputy prime minister and labor and
industry minister Luigi Di Maio said Wednesday that another
proposal for the ILVA steel plant in Taranto was currently under
discussion.
On the previous proposal, "this government was not satisfied
with the employment and implementation plans and thus asked
ArcelorMittal for an improved proposal, which is currently under
discussion and analysis by commissioners and ArcelorMittal", he
said.
Di Maio was speaking at the Italian House of Representatives
on the situation of the crisis talks at the Ministry of Economic
Development.
Di Maio had said the Italo-Indian consortium's previous plan
for an environmental clean-up at the highly polluting steel
plant was "not satisfactory" and that "we need guarantees from
the company that will ensure an environmental improvement" as
well as guarantees concerning employment.
