The bosses shake off the pressure that Brussels will not accept reforms such as labor that do not bear the stamp of the employers.

"We prefer that European money does not come and that there are better rules,"

said the president of CEOE,

Antonio Garamendi

, in an interview on Onda Cero.

"Let it be clear," he remarked.

The European Commission indicated last Thursday that "the best guarantee" that the reforms made by the Government are correct is that they carry the agreement of "all the Spanish economic actors" and Garamendi rejects that this has to force him to accept "reforms such as the labor or the pensions that worry more to the employers than the funds ".

"

I would not like to have brutal pressure to say yes, because if not, money will not come. It is not my problem

. It is not my responsibility," he has sentenced.

He has also assured that CEOE "is not going to use" that position of strength offered by Brussels to negotiate.

"We are not going to play with this."

The prospect of an agreement with the employers on the labor reform is already impossible at the meeting this Wednesday before the Government's proposal on the new ERTE. "It is impossible for this document to come to fruition", declared Garamendi and explained that it is "interventionist" and implies "more cost" and "less decision-making capacity for the company." He has also been critical of the pension reform that involves a rise in social security contributions and which has been presented with very little time, "when the Government has been looking at it for a year." He regrets that the Social Security problems have to be paid for by the companies.

"It is as if in a neighborhood community you have to open a spill and only the fifth and fourth pay for it

."

For the CEOE president, the changes that the Government are proposing and that affect businessmen are "a huge blow to the competitiveness of Spanish companies abroad."
