Serves as number two of the european socialists, is in charge of one of the parliamentary commissions considered “strong”, such as the commission on civil liberties, justice and home affairs , in which he has he focused most of his work, without abandoning his attendance at the federal committee of the psoe every monday, nor his weekends in the canary islands , nor his trips. Among these, the one made to washington or the one made to tajikistan as an electoral observer stands out in recent times . Likewise, the current spanish presidency has multiplied its meetings with commissioner joaquín almunia or with the secretary of state for the european union, diego lópez garrido . On the other hand, lópez aguilar enjoys an eminent position among the socialists of the european parliament because the spanish socialists make up the second largest group , only behind germany, a situation that can be matched when the psoe receives the two more meps that correspond to it.
In application of mechanisms provided for in the treaty of lisbon.The so-called “florentine Special Database amendment” to the audit law, currently being processed in congress, presented by surprise and at the last minute by the socialist group, which seeks to modify the law of public limited companies in relation to the limitation of voting on the boards of directors. Administration of large companies (the shield clause, which reduces capacity to 10 percent), has caused surprise and discomfort in industrial and economic sectors, which do not quite understand the government's position. And also in political spheres. High-level economic sources consulted by el confidencial digital summarize their assessment of this attempt in this way: -the socialist amendment said that, with this measure, we would adjust to what is happening in europe. It isn't true. The european commission has not said anything against shielding . Of the 27 eu countries, 25 have them. They only do not exist in italy (but no one comes in to buy companies there, as has been proven repeatedly) and in germany (mergers have already been carried out and there is also a public presence on the boards of directors of large companies across the lander. ). -without a shield clause, certain people or groups are allowed to take control of a company without launching a takeover bid. They are what are called “herd operations”.
This is what was seen in spain when some banks sold construction companies: banco santander sold dragados to acs (florentino pérez) and vallehermoso to sacyr (luis del rivero), while bbva sold metrovacesa to bami (joaquín rivero), for example. -in many of these cases, those who entered bought minority percentages, later took over the board and then made global decisions that harmed the minorities . - minorities have no defense if the 10 percent clause disappears. Legislating for construction companies? -is the current government legislating 'for' the construction sector? In terms of infrastructure, projects are announced to help highways, there is talk of tax aid. -you have announced a housing rehabilitation plan. After accusing construction of being guilty of the crisis and proposing to end the model, now you want to help them? -the entry and support that builders such as florentino pérez (present at iberdrola) and luis del rivero (present at repsol) have in la moncloa, directly or through an intermediary, are significant. The amendment to eliminate the shield came from moncloa. -it is true that some construction companies are in trouble.
