Affinity (RAM): the Ecobonus would deserve of being ulteriorly financed from the new government



RAM (Net Mediterranean Freeways) Spa, the public society that work for the development of the freeways of the sea, participates with an own stand in the within of the Pavilion "Italy - All in one" to the "Logitrans Transport Logistics Exhibition", the logistic fair that has been opened yesterday to Istanbul, with the objective to by sea promote the spread of this type of transport as instrument of integration in the area of the Mediterranean not only towards the Countries of the side South, but also towards Turkey, considered the weight of its economy and the intensity of the interchanges with Europe.

"We are in a situation of great difficulty - he has found the managing director of RAM, Tommaso Affinita - from which can itself be not only exited putting in safety the accounts publics, as the government Monti has made of first call, but heading also decidedly for the increase of the Country. In this optical the infrastructures, the logistics, the system of the transports, the portualità can carry out a decisive role of fly, supporting the mechanisms of the development and contributing to remove some persistent criticalities of our system in order to return it more competitive".

"From personality with a particularly characterized profile as minister Passera and vice minister Ciaccia - he has continued Affinity - we attend a renewed attention to the topic of infrastructures; and in this we have the advantage that both know the problematic ones of our field very well in order to have up to here managed important initiatives in theirs precedence professional experience".

"I believe that, before every other thing - has emphasized Affinity - would go finally experienced innovative forms for the financing of the infrastructural works: more and more tightening the constraints of the public finance impose to search new above all ways, valuing brave forms of public-private partnership; draft that is to activate innovative institutional and financial mechanisms through which the public hand can carry out an effective cabin of direction while the private initiative will be able to mobilize the being necessary resources finding its conveniences and the return of the investments in the pluriennale management of the infrastructural works and the logistic systems. One of the knots but, and me seems that the new government has the intention to assault it - has specified - is that of the drastic simplification of the administrative procedures for giving certainties on the times and the final outcomes to the private investor; without this essential passage, we would risk to discourage them and to hold them far from every meaningful participation".

The managing director of RAM has evidenced as a criticality on which the fluidity of the interconnections between the portualità and the street and railway net is urgent to take part is "that of the "last mile" that is. It is necessary - he has observed - to facilitate to the maximum the traffic flows rimuovendo structural throttlings and weaknesses that otherwise would continue to strongly penalize our logistic system, conditioning in particular the spread of the freeways of the sea; having the guarantee of fast times for the access and the escape from the ports, the friends of the road haulage, for which the time is money, more and more they would be induced to use of the marine modality and therefore of the freeways of the sea for whose development RAM is for a long time working with great engagement".

Affinity has then remembered that, in spite of the serious economic crisis to total level, the segment of the freeways of the sea has substantially held, demonstrating that draft by now of an alternative that is gone consolidating in the multimodale system of the transports and this has determined meaningful environmental and social advantages for the collectivity: a recent study lead from RAM - it has explained - has demonstrated that, graces also to the Ecobonus, in the three years the 2007-2009 use of the ways of the sea in alternative to a same terrestrial route has involved smaller environmental and social costs for 411 million euros".

"Politics of incentives to the freeways of the sea put in field during the last few years from the precedence government - it has found Affinity - have turned out certainly effective; in particular the Ecobonus, managed from RAM, has been a powerful factor of support that would deserve therefore of being ulteriorly financed from the new government, own for its positive and the important ones fallen back in economic and environmental terms".

The managing director of RAM has at last emphasized the importance of project ENEA (European Network Ecobonus Assessment) that he is introduced to the recent one "calls for proposals" of the program IT TRY and that intends to create the bases for the activation of a communitarian Ecobonus in support of the freeways of the sea in the Mediterranean. ENEA - it has explained Affinity - is a project of great interest for RAM as would allow to value the excellent managerial know-how-how of the Ecobonus matured in these years from the society and to propose itself therefore for a future management of the communitarian incentive.
