[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The four Public Affairs counselors appointed by Foment del Treball last May – Valeriano G\u00f3mez, Vicente Mart\u00ednez-Pujalte, Manuel J. Silva and Carles Campuzano<\/strong> – participated today in the meeting of the Executive Board and the Board of Directors of the Catalan employers\u2019 organization. The aim was to facilitate that the representatives of the institution’s members (companies, sector and territorial organizations) knew first hand the possibilities opened in this new period for the defense of economic and business interests<\/strong>. The four Public Affairs advisors incorporate an intense professional career and are deeply knowledgeable about the legislative processes and regulators of the different sectors of business activity. The president of Foment del Treball, Josep S\u00e1nchez Llibre, underlined the value the contribution of the new directors represents for the Catalan companies<\/strong>. In that sense, he pointed out their capacity for dialogue and negotiation with the administration, authorities and parliamentary groups.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With this new position in the Public Affairs function, Foment del Treball confirms its vocation and priority to transparently act as a lobby with regulators, in addition to its formal and recognized consideration as a social actor – together with unions – in the labor sphere and collective negotiation processes. During his speech, Valeriano G\u00f3mez, has pledged to act with \u201cprudence\u201d and recalled that \u201cSpain is one of the five countries with less labor conflict in the world. It is essential – he added – that the social partners exercise the relevant role assigned to them\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For his part, Jos\u00e9 Manuel Silva, considered that transferring the interests at stake to parliamentary groups and authorities after the approval of a new law and its economic consequences “is not only necessary but tremendously dignified.<\/strong>” During his intervention, Carlos Campuzano agreed with Silva and also considered the need to update and assess the concept of Public-Private Collaboration (CPP) \u201cnowadays in crisis, after years believing it was sorted out\u201d<\/strong>. He also insisted that progress must be made in the recognition of the figure of the entrepreneur. “The defense of business interests is also the defense of collective interests,”<\/strong> he concluded.<\/p>\n

Vicente Mart\u00ednez Pujalte summed up, in short, the role that the new \u201cpublic affairs council\u201d can represent for the institution: to solve problems for the benefit of all parties through dialogue and negotiation.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text]
