Distinguished authorities, dear comrades, good evening.
First, I thank all the boat operators here today for finding space in your diary to be together, talk about our problems and how we can together, sharing our experiences, prepare for 2010 that will be as hard as 2009 has been for our industry.

I also personally thank and welcome, if you'll let me, the Authorities who have made a space in their busy schedule to share with us at this important evening.
 

Good evening,
Firstly, I thank you on behalf of the Confederation of Associations d'Empresarials of Islands, for inviting me to the General Assembly of AENB.

For the Confederation of Associations d'Balears nautical enterprises are of great importance Because in addition to being an important part of the industrial sector, its services are an element of quality with complementary offerings. This is a highly competitive industry that is very familiar with the needs of customers. In fact, many of the constituent companies are run by entrepreneurs who one day Decided to drop anchor in the Balearics and integrate into our society. We must be grateful forthe that that contribution has come from outside and, with their "know how" or "savoir faire" it has helped us to gain competitiveness and generate employment.
