Can welding be done on a Fn/Zn 8 DIN 50961 plated tube?

After quotes were submitted to customer and letter of intent was provided as ward, we received drawings at new level. These levels includes zinc plating Fe/Zn 8 DIN 50961. There are tubes and brackets that will be welded on these tubes. My question is how welding is possible after the tube is zinc plated? After welding e-coat is applied.

BAD process. You will have a contaminated weld and an area of no plate.
