	Confindustria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Confindustria was a founding member of several organizations, including ISTUD (Istituto Studi Direzionali) and Assingegneria (an organization set up by Confindustria, which has since merged with OICE, L'ingegneria italiana organizzata - which in itself belongs to Confindustria).
		Confindustria has been accused of contributing large funds to the fascist regime.
		It is certainly the case that Mussolini pleased the Confindustria lobby by appointing as minister of the treasury the orthodox liberal economics Professor de Stefain.

	Confindustria - Training and skills
		Confindustria is actively involved in issues regarding schools, universities and vocational training.

		On the basis of a Memorandum of Understanding, Confindustria and the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research, locally promote experiences of excellence in the field with regard to on-the-job training, orientation, quality in schools, alternation between school and work, apprenticeships and ongoing training.

		The President of Confindustria began by acknowledging the important contribution of the Italian diplomatic service in representing Italy abroad, a job requiring “great commitment and responsibility”.
		Confindustria intends to tackle the problems of the internationalisation of firms by focusing, like Italy as a whole, on a number of priorities and a more professional approach to markets.
		In practice, Italy needs to conduct an “unruffled examination” of the responsibilities of the various bodies involved, without losing sight of the role of embassies, which in their position as a bridge between foreign policy and trade policy must retain a central role in the promotion of Italian exports.

		The Confindustria's Energy Day was held in Rome on the 1st of December 2004 and it was the occasion for a debate behind closed doors between producers and consumers.
		The analysis carried out by Confindustria and presented by Emma Marcegaglia, Confindustria's Vice-President, started by the consideration that Italian companies pay an higher price for electricity and natural gas than their European counterparts.
		Despite the fact that towards 2009 the gap with the rest of the European Union countries will be presumably reduced, according to Confindustria temporary measures are needed to avoid to compromise the competitiveness of the Italian companies in the next five years.

		The enhancement of company competitiveness and reform of Confindustria are the main aims of the new programme.
		This move - broadly welcomed by trade unions and other parties in Italy - suggests that the Italian model of "family-based capitalism" is moving towards a more "Anglo-Saxon" model (with a wider spread of shareholding and management power), in order to face up to the dangers and opportunities of globalisation.
		This is the first time that an entrepreneur from the south of Italy, not supported by the major Italian companies, has become Confindustria president.

	EMIRE: ITALY - EMPLOYERS' ASSOCIATION
		Despite this diversification, the most powerful such association in Italy is Confindustria (General Confederation of Italian Industry), which groups together private companies of various sizes in all industrial sectors, including construction, and some service sectors, although not artisanal enterprises.

		At the end of 1993, ASAP was disbanded and the ENI-group enterprises it had represented joined the respective Confindustria sector groupings alongside the IRI-group enterprises.

		So, the general strike is an event which hits a government which is as arrogant as it is timid, and capable of using the threat of terrorism in order to criminalize social opposition.
		The general strike is an event which hits a demanding Confindustria [employers' federation – tr.] which is somewhat disappointed with its wining horse and which is going all out at any cost.
		But the risk of digging a wider trench between the unions on the one side and the government and Confindustria on the other, and the fear of a forced radicalization of the conflict are clear to the union bosses.
