Illustrating the console port on the activities of the Secretary-General stressed that Silvestri Gioia Tauro is "an important port for the economic development of Calabria, as it produces 50% of the GDP of the private region, thus ensuring employment to 3,000 people." "The port of Gioia Tauro - Moore agreed - is an economic reality of fundamental importance for the national economy and, consequently, international. Within the framework of intergovernmental relations, aimed at transport safety, there is excellent cooperation between our authorities. These strategic relationships, treated with the utmost care and with great collaborative spirit by my government. To be responsible for this area - said the American Consul - it will be my job to work in harmony with the local authorities in order to strengthen safety standards in place, with the aim of improving the highest standards.
