(Adnkronos) - “Il convegno di oggi fa il punto sul momento storico che stiamo vivendo, che preoccupa molto le imprese: siamo di fronte a una guerra dei dazi, che speriamo finisca presto. Questi dazi minano la fiducia e hanno solo perdenti lanciati dall'attuale governo americano per riequilibrare il deficit che gli Stati Uniti hanno verso altri Paesi. È una misura protezionistica che ha bisogno di una risposta unitaria da parte dell'Europa, ma che antepone la necessità di un grande dialogo: dobbiamo rafforzare i rapporti e spiegare che i dazi hanno solo ricadute su popolazioni e imprese”. Sono le dichiarazioni di Stefan Pan, vicepresidente di Confindustria con la delega all'Europa, intervenuto all’incontro organizzato a Roma dal Parlamento Europeo in collaborazione con il Csa - Centro studi americani, dal titolo “Le relazioni transatlantiche: nuove prospettive e sfide”.

00:00Today's meeting focuses on a historical moment that we are experiencing, which is of great concern to the companies.
00:11We are facing a DAZI war, a war that we hope will end soon.
00:19But these DAZIs undermine trust, which is the first ingredient to invest, to believe in a company's construction project.
00:29The DAZIs have only lost.
00:32They were launched by the current American government to rebalance the deficit that the United States has towards other countries.
00:43It is a protectionist measure that needs a unitary response from Europe,
00:51but it requires a great deal of dialogue.
00:58We need to strengthen our relations, we need to talk and explain that the DAZIs have only fallen back on their populations, on their companies.
01:11They are all losing.
01:13What are the answers we can give?
01:18Europe has a great treasure to offer, which is the domestic market.
01:22The domestic market can still be developed.
01:24This is the best counterbalance for the difficulties that we will probably encounter in other markets, such as the United States.
01:34The potential for growth studied by the European Parliament is 2.8 billion, so more than the GDP of Italy.
01:45It is a market that we have at our disposal if we remove the brakes that at the moment do not allow us to take advantage of this market,
01:52which are regulatory hypertrophy, investments that are still slowed down because there are too many ties,
02:01a vision of common investment that we must undertake.
02:07Draghi's report on competitiveness makes the point.
02:11The compass of competitiveness shows the way.
02:15Our industry, together with other European industries, is happy with the indication given,
02:22because it receives and puts the industry at the center as the engine of society,
02:28which keeps society together, which allows us to grow and become a partner at the level of the United States.
02:36We must do more at the level of defense, at the level of research and development, at the level of expanding other markets.
02:45Let's think of Mercosur, let's think of other emerging markets that we must preside over,
02:50always putting the dialogue in motion, trying to explain well the potential we have.
02:55An example that we have just presented yesterday in Brussels, the example of the Italian circular economy.
03:04It has shown to develop growth models that have the ability to greatly exceed the normal growth of the GDP.
03:15With the circular economy we grow three times as much, reaching the objectives set by Europe for 2030 already in 2021,
03:25creating added value, sustainable, in line with the limits of decarbonization,
03:33making the continent stronger.
03:35So we still have a great potential, we must join hands with European institutions,
03:41work together and form a team, govern intermediate bodies, create the context to grow together.
03:50And this is the best medicine at a time when the war against the Dazis is going on every day,
03:59creating tensions that are useless.
