The regional city council member to Infrastructures of the Friuli Venice Julia, Riccardo Riccardi, has evidenced the necessity to relatively make action of pressing on the Parliament and the Council of the EU to the European Corridor Baltic Sea-Adriatic in consideration of the fact that in the course of the next year the two communitarian organisms will be called to giving their approval to the extension of such railway corridor from the ports of call of the three Baltic republics, from Helsinki and Poland, until the harbour system north Adriatic, crossing the Friuli Venice Julia via Stiria and Carinthia.

Yesterday to Brussels, in occasion of the conference "European Baltic Corridor, to join Europe and beyond…", Riccardi has evidenced to the European commissioner to the Transports, Siim Kallas, than "now we cannot afford delays and it linger" and it has brought to light the priority role of the Parliament EU and its parliamentarians, "above all - it has specified - of those electing in our territory, in case the proposal of the Commission was shot at by amendments not online with masterplan of the transeuropee nets of transport indicated from the summits the EU to October" ( on 19 October 2011).

From part its Kallas has remembered that the Corridor can already boast a series of successes. "The great technical quality of the proposal Barroso and Kallas, and of the same Baltic Sea-Adriatic - Riccardi and the president of the Harbour Authority of Venice have confirmed, Paolo Costa - is represented by the fact that take origin and they are concluded in a harbour system, so assuring the sustainability of the axis of transport against the necessary multimodality that the efficientamento of the net of the transports demands: in this scene, than already now it enjoys a sure support that I hope becomes a success, the Baltic Sea-Adriatic is a "spine" of the ports of call NAPA (the association of the adriatic ports of Koper, River, Ravenna, Trieste and Venice, ndr), five ports between complementary they in three Countries, that at least six million teu/year above all conquering new markets in Austria, Czechia and Bavaria estimate a potentiality 2030, second a study of the MDS introduced Transmodal today".

The efficiency of the Baltic Sea-Adriatic and all the new corridors characterized from Brussels - but it has observed the city council member of the Friuli Venice Julia - must but be improved "eliminating from quickly the treacherous competition, the hidden discrimination in the accesses to the terminals, financings to the own "national champions" and slimming the authorization procedures, also those tied use it of the resources EU".
