Participants:
“You know of course about the massive help the Government has given AVTOVAZ, and you are surely also aware of the related criticism. I would heed that criticism because we must not preserve inefficient production. We cannot leave a business, or workforce, in difficulty: we must and will help them. However, at the same time, we must require that the owners and the managers take concerted action to improve production, reduce delays and expenses.”
