Source text - Portuguese O ponto de vista da imprensa estrangeira
A imprensa tem estado atenta aos trabalhos do Congresso, nomeadamente os
jornalistas estrangeiros creditados. Falámos com três deles, que nos deram a sua
opinião acerca deste encontro.
STEFANO REGALIA, editor do magazine italiano “Diamante”, considera que
o Congresso está a ser muito positivo sobretudo pela troca de experiências
entre tantos profissionais e pela possibilidades de trocarem impressões sobre a
situação geral do sector.
“Realço a alta qualidade das conferências, bem como a multiplicidade
de proveniências dos prelectores: isso prova que este evento é
verdadeiramente um acontecimento global”, afirmou.
EMANUEL MATEUS DE CASTRO, editor da revista brasileira “Rochas de
Qualidade”, é dos mais antigos e reputados jornalistas da especialidade, com
mais de 40 anos de trabalho no sector. Em sua opinião, o Congresso alcançou os
seus objectivos, principalmente na sua vertente intelectual.
Há, contudo, em seu entender, uma crítica a fazer: “notou-se uma fraca
participação dos empresários, talvez demasiado interessados em
lamentar a crise em vez de se esforçarem por evoluir, aprender mais
e posicionarem-se estrategicamente neste mercado tão competitivo.
Perderam muita da inovação que aqui foi trazida e esqueceram-se que é a união
que faz a força, não o isolamento!”, lembrou.
No mesmo sentido falou BARBARA MARABELI, da revista italiana Marmo
Macchina. “Acho que os empresários pensam que a crise se resolve gerindo
com obstinação o dia-a-dia da empresa e esquecem que o envio de
técnico a encontros destes permite ao seu negócio um salto de inovação e
conhecimento”.
Elogiou a grande variedade das intervenções e trabalhos apresentados,
afirmando ser um caso raro nestes encontros internacionais.
Translation - English The view of the foreign press
The press has been paying attention to the proceedings of the Congress, namely
accredited foreign journalists. We spoke with three of them, who gave us their
opinion about this gathering.
STEFANO REGALIA, editor of the Italian magazine "Diamante", believes that
the Congress is being very positive especially for the exchange of experiences
among so many professionals and for the opportunities to exchange views on the
general situation of the sector.
"I point out the high quality of the conferences, as well as the multiplicity
of the lecturers’ sources: this proves that this event is truly a global
happening", he said.
EMANUEL MATEUS DE CASTRO, editor of the Brazilian magazine "Rochas de
Qualidade", is one of the oldest and most highly regarded journalists of the
specialty, with over 40 years of work in the sector. In his view, the Congress
achieved its goals, mainly in its intellectual aspect.
There is, however, in his opinion, a critique to be done, "it was noted a low
input of entrepreneurs, perhaps too interested in lamenting the crisis
instead of endeavoring to evolve, learn more and position themselves
strategically in this so very competitive market. They lost a lot of the
innovation that was brought here and forgot that it is the union which makes the
strength, not the isolation!”, he recalled.
In the same direction spoke BARBARA MARABELI, from the Italian magazine
Macchina Marmo. "I think that entrepreneurs think that the crisis is
resolved obstinately managing the day-to-day of the company and they
forget that sending a technician to meetings like these enables their
business to a leap in innovation and knowledge."
She praised the wide range of interventions and papers presented, stating it’s a
rare case in these international meetings.
