(ANSA) - TRENTO, JUN 06 - "Alitalia cannot compete with low cost companies that perhaps take public subsidies from destination airports or tax havens. This company will not be able to compete with these but in my opinion and the Government we must find an international lever with which to do so. synergy ". This was stated by the Minister for Economic Development, Giancarlo Giorgetti, during his speech at the Trento Economy Festival. Alitalia will initially be "a wholly publicly owned company", but then "State intervention must include the presence of a private partner, from the single entrepreneur, to the foreign fund, the Italian one,but that he believes in the project and puts in his turn the financial endowment because otherwise it becomes too easy in some way that in every situation of crisis it forces the State to intervene ", said the minister.
"Private entities have always failed in the air transport sector. The European Commission asks us that there is a total discontinuity with Alitalia and I believe that everyone in the political world and commentators must understand the incredible effort we are making to get started, and it is not at all easy. these painful months of transition on employment structures and levels, a public company that responds to economic criteria and connects the country on connections that nobody does ".
