The tax parking for all the pleasure crafts of any flag that journey or moor allocates them in the Italian ports introduced from the new government Monti will stray from the Italian ports the foreign boats, beginning from those Germans. It emphasizes Assomarinas, the Italian Association Tourist Ports, that it has collected such intention in the course of the Boot of Düsseldorf, according to European nautical hall after Genoa that is in development until next Sunday in the German city.
In the course of a press conference organized from Assomarinas in collaboration with the ADAC, the association between motorists and German diportisti that it counts beyond 17 million members, the general manager for the nautical one from diporto of the ADAC, Steffen Häbich, has observed that "the tax on the boats is a wrong choice for the development of tourism in Italy, country that alive of nautical tourism and charter with which loyalized German customers in the Italian ports. We take for granted - it has announced - the exodus from the Italian coasts of great part of our shipowners. This is a procedure that cannot be tolerated and to which application cannot be given because it would produce to a incalculable damage to all the Italian economy".
From part its president of Assomarinas, Roberto Perocchio, has reassured the German nautical user remembering the knowledge demonstrated own in these days from the minister for the economic Development Passera on the necessity to modify the formulation of the tax totally exempting the diportista that is effectively foreign also in consideration of the position already assumed from the EU commission regarding an analogous attempt carried out from Greece in the years passed in the cares of the foreign flags. "Such a measure - the president of Assomarinas has explained - contrasts in fact with the European directives of the free circulation of nautical means in communitarian waters".

"For our part - it has concluded the general manager of the ADAC - we recommend to Assomarinas to maintain the pressure high on minister Passera since our association currently is invested by thousands of phone calls of our associates who ask immediate information on the outcomes for the new Italian tax. The alternative for the many German diportisti that they attend or they are allocates them in the ports of the Italian coasts - it has emphasized Häbich - calls Croatia, Corsica, Greece and France".
