(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 14 - The decisions being made "in terms of access to credit and liquidity support are not sufficient to guarantee our companies the necessary oxygen", write Confartigianato, Cna and Casartigiani alpremier Mario Draghi, asking that the EU avoid "additional rigidities" on credit. "The end of the moratorium and the gradual alignment of the public guarantee system risk transforming the gradual return to normality into a further vice for companies that prevents them from consolidating a possible recovery or, even, from definitively compromising those who have not yet managed to catch it", they warn.
It is necessary to recalibrate the support policies for the production system to respond to the situation of high uncertainty caused by the resurgence of the pandemic, by the strong increase in energy costs and by the constant difficulty of supplying raw materials, underline the confederations of crafts and small businesses in the letter sent today to the President of the Council inviting him - they explain - to raise awareness among European institutions to avoid the introduction of further rigidities in banking regulations that make access to credit even more selective and complicated for businesses, especially smaller ones.
