December 16, 2011
The city council member to Infrastructures and Mobility of the Region Apulia, Guglielmo Minervini has sent a letter to the minister of the economic Development, Infrastructures and the Transports, Corrado Passera, in which she has evidenced that "the ports of Apulia continue to suffer from the consequences deriving from the limited number of afforded of transit (dosvole) for the trucks that transport goods from Turkey and suffer the competition from the port of Trieste that benefits of the exemption from the payment of the automotive taxes for vehicles Turkish boarded or disembarked granted in 2000 from the ministry of Finances". The city council member has specified to have place the problem to the attention of minister Passera as the demand for greater landings place in Apulia has arrived directly of the Turkish ambassador in Italy, Hakki Akil, in occasion of the Day of International relations Italy-Turkey.
"The current number of afforded of transit - Minervini has explained - does not allow in fact to satisfy the requirements of the market and this involves a lacked yield-return for all the system, not only apulian. The issue has been many times over, in the course of the slid decade, raised it is near the ministry of Infrastructures and Transports and has been also object of a signalling near the Guarantor Authority of the market and the Competition. The Apulia is, in fact, the Italian region that conjugates the greater vicinity to Turkey with a remarkable infrastructural equipment, as for ports, to interpose to you, airports, highway net".
"In consideration of a movement that for the single port of Bari is estimable in 12.000-15.000 Tir per year in boarding and disembarkation, with a potential trend decidedly in increase - it has concluded the city council member - we consider that the increase of the number of the transit permissions and the extension of the exemption from the automotive taxes, for the adriatic ports of Bari and Brindisi, is wide favorable measures and would contribute to the improvement and the increment of the traffics".
