[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The businessman and president of Pimec Lleida, Jaume Salt\u00f3, has been elected as the new president of the Chamber of Commerce, Lleida, taking over from Juan Sim\u00f3n, who has been at the head of the entity for the last 28 years.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The plenary of the Chamber of Commerce of Lleida, which was formed on Thursday, has elected the new executive committee of the chamber by a large majority.\u00a0Only one candidacy was presented to occupy the different positions, headed by the president of Pimec Lleida, Jaume Salt\u00f3.<\/strong>\u00a0After receiving the\u00a0support of 33 of the 35 new members of the plenary session<\/strong>, Salt\u00f3 has become the new president of the chamber of Lleida.<\/span><\/p>\n

The executive committee consists of Manel Llar\u00e0s (first vice-president), Estanislau Grau (second vice-president), Josep Maria Rusi\u00f1ol (third vice-president), Josep Ignasi Mart\u00edn (treasurer) and Jordi Azlor, Marc Cer\u00f3n, Jordi Pifarr\u00e9, Berenguer Pla, Antoni Postius, Pompili Roiger and Borja Solans, all seven of whom are members.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two of the\u00a0main challenges<\/strong>\u00a0set by Jaume Salt\u00f3 for the next four years are to achieve the economic viability of the Lleida Chamber of Commerce and\u00a0to publicise and disseminate its activities.<\/strong>\u00a0For this reason,\u00a0it has called for a new Chambers of Commerce Act<\/strong>\u00a0to define the role of these entities, as well as their financing.<\/span><\/p>\n

During his speech,\u00a0however, Salt\u00f3 wanted to clarify that “the chamber is about business people and not politics”.<\/strong>\u00a0For the president of Pimec Lleida,\u00a0the Chamber must be a \u201ctool of cohesion\u201d for the Lleida business fabric<\/strong>\u00a0to improve competitiveness and must act as a \u201clobby\u201d with authorities.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In his speech,\u00a0he demanded the improvement of Lleida’s infrastructures<\/strong>, including the A-2 (he wants to suggest a pilot test to the Generalitat so that it has 5G coverage for an autonomous vehicle), the N-240, the dual carriageways to Vielha and Huesca and to promote a suburban railway network and improve the Manresa line.\u00a0“They are key to promoting connectivity, as well as preventing the depopulation of the Pyrenees<\/strong>\u00a0by getting fibre optics to all points” he said, and noted that \u201cCatalonia does not end in El Bruc,\u201d so he has advocated to “fight against the centralism of Barcelona”.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, the new president\u00a0has raised the need to promote the four existing committees in the chamber and to create four new ones<\/strong>\u00a0(training and development, digital transformation and new technologies, sustainability and environment and one in the field of logistics). In addition,\u00a0Salt\u00f3 has put on the table the creation of a commission that covers all business organizations in the territory \u201cso that all entrepreneurs may move in the same direction\u201d.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During the constitutive session, a minute’s silence was observed in memory of the businessman Josep Oriol Pelegr\u00ed<\/span><\/strong>, who lost his life this week in an accident at work. Pelegr\u00ed was to join this Thursday as a new member of the full Chamber of Commerce of Lleida on behalf of COELL. A bouquet of flowers was placed on his seat.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery el_id=”gallery-806776″ random=”yes” medias=”81158,81159,81160,81161,81162″ gutter_size=”3″ screen_lg=”1000″ screen_md=”600″ screen_sm=”480″ single_overlay_opacity=”50″ single_padding=”2″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
