February 20, 2012
The government has named Sergio Prete commissioner for the realization of the relative works to the port of Taranto. Satisfaction for the provision is expressed by the president of the Puglia Region, Nichi Vendola, that the Mario Monti, Prime Minister has thanked, "for the attention and the classified timeliness to this issue, that has allowed in a matter of days to resolve a problem on the table by now from years".
"The nomination of the commissioner, with the decisive contribution of the ministers Passera and Barca - it has emphasized Vendola - will allow to realize in quick times an impressive amount of public works that will afford to the port of Taranto to become one of the more attractive ports of call goods of the Mediterranean". Finally - it has continued - "the perspective of a Puglia like logistic platform of the Mediterranean and Taranto like attractive port of coming marine foreign coasting trade from the Suez Canal, passes from the rhetorical to the facts. Draft of an historical passage that allows, moreover, to begin to not exclusively redesign a future for the city of Taranto legacy to the manifacturing leading sector".
According to the president of the Puglia Region, the provision reassures also in order to the permanence of the takeovers of the Taranto Container Terminal (TCT), the Marine society of the group Evergreen Corporation that manages the terminal containers of the apulian port of call, "than - Vendola has explained - they earn a perspective surer than valorization of the port of call". "Taranto, with its port and in logon with the airport of Grottaglie - it has concluded the apulian governor - not only becomes so one of the points of force of Italy, but of the entire basin of the Mediterranean. Such development will be still surer when, we hope already from the next days, had to reach the guarantees on the strengthening of the system of the transports on iron on the adriatic line".
