The Minister of Economic Development, Federica Guidi, today signed the decree which provides for the sale of the business complexes of the Ilva group of Taranto, as well as the initiation of procedures for the transfer of companies belonging to the companies of the steel group, currently under extraordinary administration.
The news was announced by the ministry of Via Veneto which, through a press release, warns that tomorrow, January 5, it will be published in the national and international press, a call for expressions of interest in the operation concerning the most important steel company in the country. The government's aim is to transfer the plants by 30 June 2016, respecting the procedure established by the decree of last 4 December. The latter plans to lease or sell Ilva's facilities.
