Alliance for the Competitiveness of the Spanish Industry

La Alliance for the Competitiveness of the Spanish Industry, constituted by ANFAC (automotive), AOP (refining), ASPAPEL (paper), FEIQUE (chemicals and pharmaceuticals), FIAB (food and beverages), OFICEMEN (cement) and UNESID (steel), As a continuation of the press release of March 17, it now reveals its critical situation.
