Italy Footwear Manufacturers Association Appeals To The Government To Attach Importance To Italy Manufacturing

The Italy Footwear Manufacturers Association (Assocal) said it supported Italy's proposal to reduce labor costs and make Italy more competitive.

However, the Association believes that the government's support for shoemaking industry should go further.

In November 15th, the Italy Footwear Manufacturers Association held its annual meeting in Florence.

At the meeting, the association lowered the government's efforts to promote exports of manufactured goods in Italy.

It's not very satisfactory.

The chairman of the association, Cleto Sagripanti, said the government had withdrawn its export support fund of about 130 million euros a year.

"At this difficult time, especially for Russia's exports in important markets, the government's support for Italy's footwear exports is particularly important, because we need to develop new markets to make up for the loss of the market."

The chairman said, "the proposal to reduce labor costs marks the beginning of a new manufacturing environment, demonstrating the government's firm support for growth goals and employment.

But the government needs more measures to make it possible.

Full recovery, we believe that the first step is to protect the industries we are good at. "

He added that the association would appeal for "restarting" Italy manufacturing at the Florence conference.
