Assagenti proposes a task force to ministerial level constituted by representatives of the marine cluster
Merlon cools the enthusiasms: do not make illusions. While, but, the association looks to Europe in order to throw again the harbour field
April 20, 2012

The association of the genoese shipping agents Assagenti, relieved from the convincement of the vice minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Mario Ciaccia, second which the "ports with the infrastructural nets are a strategic asset for the increase of our country", it will ask the government to institute a task force to ministerial level, constituted from representatives of the marine cluster, with the objective of the development of the marine portualità and the Italian economy. The proposal concludes the relation of the president of the association, Giovanni Cerruti, that we publish in the address book "Forum of the Shipping and the Logistics" and that is introduced this morning to the assembly of Assagenti held in the center of the Harbour Authority of Genoa to Saint George Palace.

Do not make illusions, is the raggelante council turned to the shipping agents from the president of the harbour agency. "Come Autorità Portuali - Luigi Merlo has explained - we have introduced a proposal for a task force to Ciaccia, but we have had negative answer".

According to the president of the genoese shipping agents, "the representatives of the categories of the marine cluster must have the assignment to supply support and advising to 360 degrees for the national issues but also for that she discusses herself in the European within, in order to not only elevate the role of Italy in the competent centers".

Evidently the attempt of the proposal is to re-knot a tie between the economic and entrepreneurial world and that of the politics that are fraying. The political class seems not to succeed in tramutare the words in facts, ingendering in the companies, the workers and the citizens uncertainty on the perspectives and absolute distrust regarding any declaration or promise. This explains the antipolicy gust that crosses the Italian territory today, that it risks to turning in torments if the aggravation of the economic crisis will ulteriorly emphasize the difficulties of the citizens and the enterprises.

Words have been expenses today also from four candidates mayor in race to Genoa, Pierluigi Vinai, Marco Doria, Enrico Musso and Edoardo Rixi, at the moment ubiquitari, as is obvious that he is since they must introduce their program to the population. Some aspirant first citizen has promised to abroad support the advertising action of the genoese harbour cluster in Italy and. "I would be satisfied - it has replied Merlon - that the next mayor came with me to explain the port to Voltri", that is in one of the delegations of the West genoese where the relationship between the city and the port is particularly conflict.

The distance between politics and citizens, or better the unconcern of politics regarding the society that is called to govern, in the presence of perceives also guided "technical" a so-called executive as that current one by Mario Monti. Giovanni Cerruti has cited the example of the cruises, a field - he has found - in these days object of "a real persecution", on the wake of the shipwreck of Costa Concordia, "dictated more from emotional facts that give logical and concrete reasons". "I refer - it has evidenced Cerruti - the recent one I decree so-called "saves coasts" that the pause of the cruise ships borders practically offshore to two nautical miles from the protected areas () that traditionally scale the resorts of greater interest of our coasts for the excursions of the crocieristi. Only speaking about the resorts of the Tigullio of Portofino and Santa Margherita we are risking to blow up beyond 120 ports of call to season with most serious nocumento of the economy of these coastal countries". "The topic of the cruises - it has agreed Luigi Merlo - is dealt as if we were in Austria".

A marine nation, in short, that it reasons as one without spiagge, shorelines, coasts and ports. In attended that politics are approached again to the economic-entrepreneurial world, and therefore to the portualità, it is necessary while to take care of that oltreconfine will happen, but that it will have effect on the Italian ports. "The proposal - Cerruti has confirmed - is born with this in mind from the reflections on the future of the portualità to communitarian level of the EU commission, in the words of its vice commissioner Siim Kallas, to emanate within the first months of a 2013 directive in order to reform the system of the ports facing in particular the topic of the reduction of the administrative problems, of the transparency of the financings and of I reorder of the harbour services". "For the supremacy of the communitarian right on those national - the president of Assagenti has remembered - all the legislative dispositions today in vigor, comprised the harbour law of reform 84/94, contrasting with the new European directive, will be exceeded. The moment of the argument is near, and is own during the course of this year that will be got ahead the consultations with the different harbour truths, that they will contribute to the organization of a conference on the ports. He is fundamental - it has emphasized Cerruti - than Italy you anticipate to the appointment with clear ideas and which weighted proposals, in order to be part active in this legislative phase".

If Assagenti wishes that the Italian government and europarlamentari know to give voice to the requests of the national portualità near Brussels and Strasbourg, on the internal front is giving up. Negative appears the appraisal is of Cerruti that of Merlon on the acts of the new technical executive. The president of the genoese shipping agents has complained the disinterestedness that also the government Monti has demonstrated towards the field: "by the exponents of the central administration - it has observed - many times over the intention is restated to adopt urgent measures for giving impulse to the main productive fields of the Country. We expected that the ports and the transports were object of immediate actions but on the contrary, those least governmental initiatives that have touched our sphere of activity, have been to say little amazing". Between these, Cerruti has remembered, besides decrees "saves coasts" of ministers Passera and Clini, the abolition of some articles of the professional law of the marine raccomandatario (law 135/77), the discipline of the costs minimums of the road haulage and the lacked simplification the customs norms. According to Luigi Merlo, the government too much is concentrated on infrastructures and he totally does not take in consideration the necessities of the logistics.

Cerruti have stopped also on the fines comminate from the Antitrust to some marine agencies and the same Assagenti let alone the association of guilty the genoese shippers Spediporto judged to have place in existence a secret trust ( of the 16 and 26 March 2012). "In this logic that seems to search new cues of brake towards the development and the economic resumption - it has supported - the recent sentence of the Guarantor Authority of the Competition and the Market joins to our warning that has endorsed heavy 14 important marine agencies associates, besides two associations, putting to serious risk their economic solidity and occupational estate". "It is an event - it has added - that a lot has disheartened us and that risks to undermine the fragile balance of the endorsed companies, already tried from the crisis of the field".

The relation of Cerruti analyzes also state of health of the shipping, finding as the situation for the line traffics is "to say little dramatic" and emphasizing the chiaroscuros of the traffic tramp on the port of Genoa, with the drastic reduction of the imports of coal and the moderate increment of others commodities, the decrease of the chemicals liquid bulk and the difficulties of the crocieristico field, where - to beyond the shipwreck of the Concord to Isola del Giglio - the uncertainty of the geopolitical situation of the Mediterranean oriental and the impact of the economic crisis "more than to provoke one bending in the level of the bookings - Cerruti has stated - has induced the companies to wind down the installments per diem "pax". Result: the ships are full of hosts whom they pay least". Daunting also the examination of the situation of the marine mediation, that it records the deep state of crisis is of the market of cargos buckets that of that of the liquids.

Positive instead the appraisal on the port of Genoa that - it has specified Cerruti - "has been introduced at the market with papers in order, fort of the carried out work and those about to completion, from the dredgings to the fillings in the basin of Sampierdarena". The president of Assagenti however has specified that "if by the point of view of the port in itself the houses are improved, not equally he can himself be said for infrastructure of connection with the market”.

The analysis of Cerruti on the port finds the programmed participations correctly years ago and finally put into effect from the guided harbour administration from Merlon, but to we inforMARE it seems neglects some hoary “black holes” that the competitiveness of the port of call undermines. Between these: the area of the Naval Repairs, that it needs spaces and a sixth dry dock in a position to accommodating ships of great dimensions, and more in general terms the issue metal and mechanics that involves also the plant of Fincantieri to Sestri West with its project of upset to sea; the areas promised to the port with the reconversion of the iron and steel pole of Cornigliano and never obtained; the absence of a car park, problem - this last one - that seems to provoke interest little but that appears crucial for a port, as that of Genoa, that will in future continue in the presence of to serve for street way its main market also efficient infrastructures and railway services, useful instead conquering new and more distant markets.

The front of the Naval Repairs is in ferment: yesterday it has recorded three hours of strike of the working metal worker and mechanics ( on 19 April 2012); today it is the time of an abstention of the job proclaimed from the territorial and regional secretariats of Filt, Fit and Uilt united to the Rsu di Ente Basins, the society participated with 5% from the Genoese Naval Repairers and with 95% from the Naval Repairs Port of Genoa (in its turn stopped for 56.0% from the Harbour Authority, for 29.4% from same the Genoese Naval Repairers and for 14.6% from the Saint Barbara Cooperative) that it manages the five dry docks of the port. With the today's manifestation one agrees to restate the worry on the future and the possible cession of the share quotas Agency Basins. To such Luigi Merlo purpose it has remembered that yesterday it has received a delegation that has asked the cession for the quotas and today afternoon of it receives one that is opposed to such hypothesis. “It must take a decision”, it has concluded the president of the Harbour Authority.

The determination of the future order of the port of Genoa, instead, can attend. Merlon has recently announced that it will introduce the lines guides of the next Portuale Town development plan after the election of the new mayor, chosen that it has confirmed today emphasizing that carefully is weighted and that is assumed in order “to avoid of giving in meal to the demagogy” the job completed for the definition of the project. Decision that it does not find to us agrees: if a politician does not have confidence in the mechanisms and the reactions of politics to the vicissitudes of the society and the economy, as he can himself be expected that of it they have the citizens?
