On Thursday 19 March, the European Commission adopted a Temporary Framework to enable Member States to
use the full flexibility foreseen under State aid rules to support their economy and help overcome the extremely
difficult situation triggered by the Coronavirus outbreak. From direct grants to subsidised public loans to State
guarantees for loans, the Temporary Framework provides for five types of aid, which can be granted by Member
States.
This Temporary Framework is based on Article 107(3)(b) TFEU and complements other possibilities available
to Member States to mitigate the social-economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak in line with EU State aid
rules, notably the possibility under Article 107(2)b TFEU to compensate specific companies or specific sectors
for the damages directly caused by exceptional occurrences, such as the coronavirus outbreak.
Since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, the following State aid measures have been adopted under
both Article 107(2)b and under the Temporary Framework:

LOS REFRACTARIOS: UNA INDUSTRIA ESENCIAL
Por la presente MANIFIESTO:
A.- Que el Real Decreto-Ley 10/2020 por el que se regula un permiso retribuido recuperable
para las personas trabajadoras por cuenta ajena que no presten servicios esenciales, con el fin
de reducir la movilidad de la población en el contexto de la lucha contra el COVID-19,
establece como excepciones en la aplicación del mismo, entre otras, las siguientes:
2. Las que trabajan en las actividades que participan en la cadena de abastecimiento del
mercado y en el funcionamiento de los servicios de los centros de producción de bienes y
servicios de primera necesidad, incluyendo alimentos, bebidas, alimentación animal,
productos higiénicos, medicamentos, productos sanitarios o cualquier producto necesario
para la protección de la salud, permitiendo la distribución de los mismos desde el origen hasta
el destino final.
4. Las que prestan servicios en la cadena de producción y distribución de bienes, servicios,
tecnología sanitaria, material médico, equipos de protección, equipamiento sanitario y
hospitalario y cualesquiera otros materiales necesarios para la prestación de servicios
sanitarios.
5. Aquellas imprescindibles para el mantenimiento de las actividades productivas de la
industria manufacturera que ofrecen los suministros, equipos y materiales necesarios para el
correcto desarrollo de las actividades esenciales recogidas en este anexo.
B.- Que los refractarios, así como sus proveedores de materias primas y servicios de montaje
son imprescindibles y juegan un papel crítico en la operación y buen funcionamiento de los
sectores e industrias anteriormente citados.
Por lo tanto, desde ANFRE (Asociación Nacional de Fabricantes de Refractarios, Materiales y
Servicios Afines) se considera justificada la consideración de actividad esencial y la no
aplicación del permiso retribuido regulado para sus asociados, cuyo listado se adjunta como
anexo.

WRA: REFRACTORIES ARE ESSENTIAL FOR DAILY LIVES
Safe and responsible operations need to continue
In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic, the temporary closing of non-essential businesses and other efforts to keep COVID-19 from overwhelming hospital and healthcare facilities are creating challenges for many countries and across many industries. Governing bodies must keep essential businesses open that support health systems operations and guarantee public safety and national security. Refractories should be recognized as a critical industry that must continue to operate.
REFRACTORIES: VITAL TO INDUSTRY
Refractories play a critical role in the daily operations of almost every sector of manufacturing. These ceramic materials are essential for all heat-intensive production processes. Without refractories, important industries and the products they produce would not exist. Whether it is the ambulances we drive, the hospitals we use, the roads we rely on, the medical equipment that we need, the communications tools we use, the waste we need to incinerate, or the medicines we take, the world we know would not exist without refractories.
In the context of COVID-19, our customers in the steel, aluminum, copper, glass, chemicals, energy, waste management and pulp & paper industries are directly responsible for supplying the primary materials used to produce desperately needed items such as hospital beds, ambulances, respirators, face masks, and other medical devices. Their production processes cannot occur without refractories, even in the short term.
HEALTH AND SAFETY ARE INDUSTRY PRIORITIES
We must continuously produce refractories because they are critical components in almost all products’ supply chains. At the same time, our top priority is, and always has been, the safety and well-being of our industry employees and the communities in which they operate.
Because the refractory industry is globally connected through WRA, from the earliest stages of the COVID-19 threat, refractory manufacturers have been proactive in taking extra precautions to ensure the health and safety of all those who work in our industry. This includes complying with all recommendations and directives of the World Health Organization (WHO) and all national, regional, and local organizations in response to COVID-19. Refractory industry employees who can work remotely are doing so. In facilities that must continue to produce refractories, the highest COVID-19 safety and hygiene protocols are fundamental to manufacturing operations. These include, but are not limited to, social distancing measures, continual sanitizing and disinfecting of workplaces, use of proper personal protective equipment (PPE), and minimization of staff interactions.
Refractories will always be an essential industry that is vital to the manufacturing of countless goods that ensure the safety and security of our global community. As governing bodies across the globe continue to assess industries, the refractories industry must be placed within this essential business category.
ABOUT THE WORLD REFRACTORIES ASSOCIATION
World Refractories Association is a forum to debate regulatory issues affecting global trade, circulate aggregated industry statistics, and promote the interests of the worldwide refractory industry. It also serves as a counterpart to other world industry organizations. The WRA currently consists of six major refractory industry associations and 16 multinational companies.

Los coronavirus son una amplia familia de virus que normalmente afectan sólo a animales. Algunos tienen la capacidad de transmitirse de los animales a las personas. El nuevo coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 es un nuevo tipo de coronavirus que puede afectar a las personas y se ha detectado por primera vez en diciembre de 2019 en la ciudad de Wuhan, provincia de Hubei, en China.
Todavía hay muchas cuestiones que se desconocen en relación a la enfermedad que produce: COVID-19.
