Holders of his speech:
• The PP deputy considers that the challenges that retail is currently facing are: “new competitors (eCommerce), new relationships with customers, shopping transformed into experience, greater knowledge of the customer through big data, the the need for new payment formats, and the revision of current legislation and regulations to make the sector more competitive ”.
• Stresses that retail “is the main private employer. In Spain, it employs 2.2 million people in 458,000 companies and represents 5.3% of Spanish GDP ”.
• Ensures that "physical commerce will not disappear because it is an asset of cities and society" and is committed to promoting it, so he asks the President of Retail of Catalonia if "he is satisfied with the actions to promote and promote commerce that The Government is conducting it through campaigns in the media and Social Networks ”.
• He underlines that "all the measures for the redesign of stores on the occasion of the Covid-19 have a significant cost for commerce", so he asks how he believes that government aid for this action should be articulated.
• Given the redesign of commercial spaces, ask if you believe that the sector has clear and realistic protocols to know how to cope with the new situation that is or may occur with the COVID crisis.
• Defends a renewal plan for household appliances, since according to studies by the sector's employers with a plan of 50 million euros, sales amounting to 560 million would be achieved. "In Spanish homes there are 100 million household appliances that are 30% obsolete because they are over 10 years old, which implies a high consumption of energy, water and detergent," he highlights.
