Cristina Galindo / José Meléndez Madrid / San Jose (Costa Rica) 7 FEB 2014 -
U.S., the largest user of the Panama Canal , broke Friday in a dispute over cost overruns billionaires in the redevelopment of the sea route . The U.S. government asked the consortium responsible for developing the project, led by the Spanish construction company Sacyr and channel managers to get a " quick fix" to ensure " full recovery" of works, paralyzed from this week.
Washington has been " closely following developments in the dispute " between the Panama Canal Authority (ACP ) and the consortium Grupo Unidos por el Canal ( GUPC ) , said a spokeswoman for the State Department to Efe . " An early completion of the canal expansion is important for U.S. business ," he said . Several U.S. ports are investing in infrastructure improvements in order to prepare to respond to larger vessels that will transit through the new set of locks of the canal ( allow the passage of ships with 12,000 containers from the current limit of 4,000 containers).
So far, the U.S. government had remained silent on the dispute , although on numerous occasions has expressed great interest in the success of the project. The documents obtained by WikiLeaks and published by El Pais in 2010 revealed that the U.S. took steps to try to prevent Sacyr lograse works and called " relentlessly " for the U.S. Bechtel won the contest, valued at 3,120 million dollars ( 2,300 million euros).

Although formal negotiations to try to close the dispute over cost overruns of $ 1,600 million are broken, the consortium announced Friday that it has sent a new proposal to the Canal Authority . The companies did not give details. " GUPC continues its efforts to find a solution and reach an agreement with the ACP and delivered a new proposal that reflects the concerns of the ACP while providing the necessary funds to complete the work of the third set of locks ," he said in a statement in which, for the first time , companies admit that they have suspended the works. " Pending an agreement that works for the completion of the work, have suspended work on the project ," he added . " A settlement is the only solution that allows immediate continuation of the works and the earliest and most efficient project to benefit the ACP and Panama termination ." Enlargement executed 70% now , should be ready in 2015.
Meanwhile, the Canal Authority confirmed that the consortium was updated with payments of contributions for their workers , which will ensure the payment of wages and other benefits to half the 10,000 employees affected by the suspension of works . This is guaranteed Jorge Quijano, ACP Administrator , who met with the leadership of the Union of Workers of the Construction and Related .
The general secretary of the union, Saul Mendez said the ACP has assured them that if the consortium is definitely the Authority withdraws or terminates the contract , the new employer should hire them under the same conditions as GUPC . Quijano said the representatives of the workers who remain contact with the consortium .
The situation is deadlocked. While contractors attempt a return to the negotiating table , the ACP is shown in dialogue while insisting that the play will end with or without the consortium , either alone or with the help of another construction .
