HIDROSIND petition on Romanian government’s restructuring plans
Thursday, November 05, 2009, 11:44 Hrs
On 19 October 2009 EMCEF met a delegation of HIDROSIND, the EMCEF affiliate representing Romanian hydro-energy workers. The delegates came to Brussels in order to seek EMCEF’s support in their protest against the restructuring plans in the energy sector of the Romanian Government: the merger of the local energy producers into two major energy companies – Electrica and Energetica. On 23 October, the government issued a decree that allows shareholders to vote on the proposed merger.
HIDROSIND considers the Government’s plan to be a violation of the common European energy policy. The plan would abandon the current structure that compels state energy producers to sell their entire electricity production on the stock market.
HIDROSIND promotes a different form of restructuring that involves the creation of holding companies. Thereby, the current companies would not be dissolved, they would keep their legal status and transparency of electricity prices in the market would be preserved.
HIDROSIND prepared two petitions addressed to the EU Commissioners Andris Piebalgs, DG TREN [pdf], and Neelie Kroes, DG Competition [pdf], as well as additional remarks [pdf].
HIDROSIND plans further actions, a possible criminal complaint, as well as, industrial action.
EMCEF understands the difficult situation of HIDROSIND and offers its full support.
