The Ministry of Industry was convened on the next Tuesday, July 1, the first meeting State Council of SMEs From the update launched in 2024. It is an advisory body that depends on the Jordi area, and in which CEOE and Cepyme will have to share a representative office of business organizations With conforms and Pimec. This is the reason why the president of the great employer Antonio Garameni moved at the last meeting of the board of directors his intention not to go to this event.
This is noted by various business sources with which they consulted with this newspaper, and which were present at the meeting held on June 18. The business leader said that there would be no CEOE representative on a call announced by the Minister of Catalans almost a month ago, in protest against the integration of employers. Led by Jose Maria Torres and Anthony Kanyet.
They refuse to comment from the business organization, while any of the consultations with members opens the door so that it finally comes a person with a low and technical character, given that this criterion was not divided throughout the assembly. In the Ministry of Industry, they argue that they ignore who will be present on behalf of the business and trade union organizations. Although the usual thing is that SolutionWhich often visit the negotiation tables and, thus, are performed in the case of unions.
It was For the first time they were called to meet four business organizations At the collection of these characteristics, so CEEE will strive to make a gesture with which it would be possible to express a rejection of the government attempts to include these entrepreneurs in such institutions as the economic and social council (CES) or the National Advisory Commission on Collective Agreements (CCNCC). This body, created in 2013, collected a total of nine times, and the latter took place in March 2022 before its reconstruction was dictated.
This is the “Consultant and Cooperation” forum on aspects that directly affect small companies and head the head of the industry portfolio. Ministers of the Economics, the bodies of Carlos and Gasenda, Maria Hesus MonteroThey occupy two vice presidents, and on behalf of the rest of the ministries there are another 18 vocals. All autonomous communities, the Chamber of Commerce, ICEX, ICO or Red.es, among other entities depending on public administration, are also caused.
In the halls of Diego de Leon 50, there is a firm deviation from all the steps taken by the government in recent years to include in chairs assigned to representatives of business to representatives that this They do not belong to CEO or cepymeAlthough this does not apply to this body, because they did not have a limited number of vocals for these organizations, in others, as already indicated or European economic and social advice (termination), these organizations saw how their places were reduced to accommodate Pimec.
Nevertheless, the reform of the larger room will be that the president of the government itself, Pedro Sanchez, confirmed to social agents that he planned to implement in the short term. These are changes in the presentation of small and medium -sized enterprises in the tables of social dialogs in which they are considered, for example,, for example, Legislative changes in labor issuesThe field is the aspect collected in PSOE and add a government agreement that will lead to the inclusion of conpymes or Pimec, which is disputed in Catalonia with the education of Treball. Nevertheless, there is still no place in the political calendar.
The Ministry of Labor provides progress in parallel in the updating of the bodies in which they have already recognized the space of these organizations (CES, CESE, CCNCC) in order to publish the appointment of new representatives as soon as possible. CEOE appealed to one of these processes to the National Court, in which he questioned the recognition of the Pimec place in the body of collective agreements as a more representative organization.
Employer Garameni clings to this autonomous recognition, incompatible with the fact be integrated into another national organization (Conpymes), so they required precautions that were not accepted at the moment, according to government sources, so the process of updating the posts continues.
