The proposal of review of the trans-European nets of transport TRIES been left over from the EU commission in fact characterizes nodes and connections concentrated in the areas that already today mainly are infrastructured, marginalizing the peripheral regions. It has yesterday emphasized the president of the Association of the Italian Ports (Assoporti), Francesco Nerli, in occasion of the conference held to Brussels on the topic "IT TRY Network and Corridors: Connecting Europe with East Countries and Mediterranean Regions" that has been organized from the Center MESEURO, organism that has between the main objectives the satisfaction of must associate-economic and cultural of the European population.
In its participation, that we publish in the address book "Forum of the Shipping and the Logistics", Nerli has explained that "in so far as it is difficult to share the proposal of the EU commission that, with the choices that proposes for the ports, almost excludes completely from "the central" net regions as the Sicily - with the single exception of Palermo - and the Sardinia, to discapito not only of these regions, but of all the noon of Italy". "Moreover - it has added - the proposal does not seem to fully value the Mediterranean area that, instead, represents one unwinds crucial for the economic increase of the European Union".
"In this within - it has supported the president of Assoporti - the geographic position of the Italy, inserted in the heart of the Mediterranean, assumes a role key in guaranteeing the infrastructural connection and interconnections necessary in order to support and to upgrade the increase, the occupation and the competitiveness of the Union. We believe therefore indispensable - it has concluded Nerli - than the Italian harbour system for its just valorization in the within of the future IT TRY must be represented with the insertion of the Italian ports center of Harbour Authority in "the central" net".
