The request comes following a note from the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy, according to which Adolfo Urso “urged the commissioners of Ilva in extraordinary administration and the public shareholder Invitalia to carry out the necessary discussions with Acciaierie d’Italia and all the necessary actions in order to guarantee the production continuity of the Taranto steel plants”.
