The government appeals the law of the Friuli Venice Gulia on the regional portualità
Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti exhort the executive to safeguard the role of the Harbour Authorities
July 27, 2012

This morning the Council of Ministers has deliberated the impugnativa dinanzi to the Constitutional Court of the law n. 12 of the Region Friuli Venice bringing Julia "Discipline of the portualità of regional competence", that it is promulgated 31st May ( on 24 May 2012). The decision is assumed - precise a note of Palazzo Chigi - as the regional law, that we publish below, "contains a norm that, previewing the possibility for the Region to stipulate conventions with private in exception to the state discipline in matter of use of the assets the publics".

While the unions Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti have exhorted the government to safeguard the role of the Harbour Authorities, threatened - they have explained the three unions - as a result of the sentence of the Regional administrative court of the Latium that "modification the system and the contents of the law the 84/94 on the ports, considering Harbour Authorities as "inserted public administrations in the consolidated economic account of Public Administration"". According to the labor organizations of category, "this determines of the most serious consequences on the role of the same Harbour Authorities that will come subordinates to not necessary constraints that in fact of it they reduce the function, the operativity and above all of it they modify the job relationship that for all the dependent of the Authorities from private becomes public". "All this - they have found Filt, Fit and Uilt - unhinging the contractual system is national is premises that they give beyond ten years is enforced and that its validity in terms of protection of the workers and efficiency of the same Authorities in the more general interest of the ports has demonstrated in the facts all".

For Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti, "are more and more urgent and not rinviabile, being given the resource to the Council of State against the sentence of the REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE COURT Latium, a legislative provision that clarifies the role of the Harbour Authorities. Without an participation of the government and the parliament in such sense - the unions consider - a damage to the workers would be determined, a hardening of the functions and the scopes of the fallen back Harbour Authorities with the consequent ones on the operativity of the port, without no economic benefit for the State, but more rather with a concrete risk that the ports are less efficient in the system of the transports of the goods of our Country".
