(ANSA) Rome, April 28 - The general council of the powerful
industrial association Confindustria on Thursday gave its
backing to the new team of vice presidents proposed by
president-designate Vincenzo Boccia.
The Salerno businessman nominated Maurizio Stirpe as vice
president for labour and industrial relations, Giovanni Brugnoli
for human capital and Giulio Pedrollo for industrial policy.
He also confirmed Lisa Ferrarini in her existing role of
vice president for Europe, Licia Mattioli for
internationalisation and Antonella Mansi for organisation.
There are also three ex officio members of the team:
Alberto Baban, president of small enterprise, Marco Gay,
president of young entrepreneurs, and Stefano Pari, president of
the council of regional representatives.
Boccia will retain responsibility for certain strategic
areas including credit and finance for development, energy and
business networks and the Confindustria study centre will report
to him.
The team will remain in office for four years.
Boccia was elected to replace Giorgio Squinzi as president
of Confindustria by a narrow margin at the end of March.
His nomination needs to be ratified at an assembly on June
25.
