Fabrika automobila Dačija, deo francuske grupacije Reno, od 15. juna povećaće proizvodnju automobila sa 1.200 na 1.340 dnevno, zahvaljujući većoj potražnji zbog izvoza i za domaće tržište. Rukovodstvo kompanije je stoga zajedno sa sindikatima odlučilo da se do 31. jula radi subotom i to u dve smene, i da se poveća broj zaposlenih.

Jesen nije bila dobra za automobilsku industriju u svetu pa ni za Dačija-Reno zbog pada potražnje. Od oktobra prošle godine do januara 2009. proizvodnja u rumunskoj fabrici bila je zaustavljana u više navrata tako da fabrika nije radila ukupno mesec dana.

Prošle godine je Fabrika automobila Dačija proizvela 242.415 automobila, 8,8 odsto više nego 2007. godine.

Jedan od šefova nemačke grupe Folksvagen iz sektora dizajna Valter Maria de Silva izjavio je da je automobil "logan" koji je lansirala kompanija Dačija-Reno "interesantniji i jači" od nekih drugih evropskih automobilskih marki u toj klasi.

Vidošević je rekao da je ekonomska kriza stigla kao upozorenje da se do sada živelo na način koji nije mogao da funkcioniše na duži rok. "Neodgovorni smo, trošimo više nego što zarađujemo, nemamo radne navike i takav mentalitet hitno treba menjati", upozorio je predsednik privredne komore.

"Ova 2009. neće biti najgora, već će 2010. biti vrlo, vrlo opasna. Svi koji ozbiljno misle u ovoj zemlji moraju se dobro koncentrisati i stvoriti prostor da bi se prevladala 2010. godina", dodao je Vidošević.

On je rekao da su najakutniji problemi nelikividnost i nepostojanje nacionalne ekonomske strategije. Strategija mora biti javni dokument, jasno i precizno napisan koji će moći pročitati i razumeti "i pastir na Velebitu, i svetioničar na Jabuci, i ratar u Slavoniji", naglasio je Vidošević.

Predsednik HGK je zaključio da prioriteti u poslovanju i dalje moraju biti tržišta regiona, i upozorio da treba obnoviti kontakte s tržištima koja su u poslednjih 15 godina potpuno zapostavljena, kao što su Indija i arapske zemlje.

Vidošević je upozorio i na pitanje morala u poslovanju, odnosno na rašireni problem neplaćanja finansijskih obaveza. "Najveći izraz nemorala je neplaćanje, tu nema opravdanja. Ne možete ne plaćati obaveze, nema 'svetih krava', ni kursa, ni likvidnosti, ni državnih obaveza - obaveze se moraju platiti" rekao je Vidošević i ukazao da mora prenjačiti država, kao najveći neplatiša.
