The president of the Association of the Italian Ports (Assoporti), Francesco Nerli, has proposed to institute "a bottom in order to make necessary infrastructures the development of the harbour system of the Country". Today, taking part to Rome to the shareholders' meeting of the association of the road haulage ANITA, Nerli has specified which resources could meet in the bottom: "a quota the resources of Eurovignette, a percentage of deep for investments previewed in contracts of program sign from ANAS and RFI let alone a quota deriving from the autonomy financial institution of the Harbour Authorities, that it goes as soon as possible realized, for feeding a system - the president of Assoporti has explained - than, involving the private capital, allows to start the realization of the street and railway connections with the ports and the fundamental works of an integrated net (Third Pass, Pontremolese, Adriatic-Baltic Sea Corridor, Bari-Naples)".
In the course of its Nerli participation one has stopped also on the topic of the performance of the regarding norm the times of cargo and drainage in port of the goods for the road haulage restating to the government, represented in the occasion from the undersecretary Bartolomeo Giachino, the necessity "to define a homogenous frame, a program agreement jointly picture that allows in every port, safeguarding the local specificities (analogous to how much fact to Genoa), to characterize a distance and mutual engagements between haulers and committenza finalized to the performance of that norm".
Moreover, referring to the topic of the competitiveness introduced from the ANITA president, Eleuterio Arcese, in its relation, Nerli has asserted "such competitiveness and the efficiency cannot be guaranteed from chosen falsely calmieratrici of the market, as for example the block, from almost 20 years, of the measure of the taxes and the admiralty laws". According to Nerli, in fact, "untied from a total project of development of field, measures of this type do not help the effective increase of the enterprises. More than incentives by now they are subsidies".
Opening the shareholders' meeting of ANITA president Arcese, that he is reconfirmed to the third mandate, has emphasized that "the Italian road haulage must become competitive, organized and efficient and we entrepreneurs - he has added - must be the craftsmen of the change". "The development of our Country - Arcese has said - depends above all from the force of our enterprises and from the ability to look to the future. We cannot continue to ask the single government economic resources. Reforms are necessary that they stimulate the reorganization of the system of Italian transport. A reform of the field - it has specified - must leave from the regulation of those enterprises that in the current market reach levels of exasperation that they generate confrontation".
"It is in Europe - it has continued the ANITA president - than plays the future of our enterprises. We must reason in an European optical and think to the increase and the development of the road haulage in order to return it competitive on the total market. We find ourselves, instead, too much often to you must to us worry of agitations that threaten the social peace, losing sight of the main objective. It is time to turn over. We must avoid to repeat the errors of the past and to make so that the road haulage considers part of the economic system more and more".
"Let us wonder - Arcese has explained - if the up to now emanated normative participations will be able indeed to contribute to throw again of the road haulage and to the re-balance of the legal position of the carriers in it confronts of the outsourcers". "It mistakes - it has concluded - who believes that the costs minimums can resolve the problems of the section and is from hoping that they are not source of ulterior inefficiencies and criticality for the field and the entire economy".
