July 17, 2012

They are . The denunciation the deputy tarantino of the PD, Ludovico Vico, emphasizing that a anotation risks to make to collapse the hypotheses of development of the port of Taranto, after a season that instead left to foresee the birth in river to the Jonio of a diversification hope, and promising to battle in classroom on article 15 of Decreto Development in voting tomorrow morning. Article 15, as it remembers the dossier for the examination of the bill "urgent Measures for the increase of the Country" elaborated from the Service Studies of the Chamber of Deputies, that we publish below for the part reported to such article, includes between the resources initially transferred to for interventions infrastructural the Harbour Authorities and to revoke in absence of start of the procedures of contest to the aim of the reassignment to other infrastructural projects in the same field, also the destined resources to participations of the Harbour Authorities that operate in sites of reclamation of national interest in the cases in which relative the notices of contest not they are published to the date of publication of the decree-law.

"That article - Vico has explained - shapes a beautiful and good prank that is consumed to the damages of our territory, after only some month it makes the presidency of the Council signed the agreement for the development of the traffics container in the port of Taranto, after the mission of acceleration for the infrastructuring entrusted in the hands of the commissioner to acta and after the overcoming of the state of associate-economic-environmental emergency".

"Now article 15 of Decreto Development - it has continued the parliamentarian - size clearly the deep civil servants for the harbour infrastructural works assigned to the Harbour Authorities that operate in the Sites of reclamation of National Interest as it is exactly the port of Taranto. So the Outer Dam, the dredging of the area of the polisettoriale pier, the overwhelmed case of, the reconfiguration of the dock of the polisettoriale pier, the requalification of the large squares in root, the consolidation of the same dock and the ways of race side earth, could remain to the pole".

"Draft - it has accused Vico - of incomprehensible a political and economic choice that damages Taranto, but risks to push the country towards myopic politics of development in the already shaking balance of the international traffics goods in the area of the Mediterranean. The schizophrenia sign remains then - it has found - that comes from Rome that signature comes to an agreement in all finery involving four ministries quite and then it takes back all in hardly thirteen weeks".
