Reggio Calabria confindustria considers that Special an Economic Zone is useful to the port of Gioia Tauro, but not pack-saddles. The association of the manufacturers has confirmed to look with "attention to the hypothesis of Special an Economic Zone in the area of the port of Gioia Tauro. Ten years after the Bonded area, whose turned out they have not matched up of the expectations - it has explained Reggio Calabria Confindustria - he is indispensable to rethink the system of the incentives in order to stimulate the creation, in the back-harbour area, of real and organic woven a productive one. The possibility to obtain the complete tax exemption, than is outlined through the ZES, can represent an instrument in a position to attracting investments in this part of the calabrian territory, than still today, in spite of the most serious crisis in existence, it constitutes the main hope for the future of our region".
Reggio Calabria confindustria has evidenced as "Gioia Tauro, also against obvious difficulties, main remainders one of the hub of the transhipment in the Mediterranean. The ZES - second the association - could be an instrument useful to overwhelm the gap competitive of the area, altogether considered, regarding the homologous truths of the Africa North. In Egypt and Tunisia, in fact, the costs of labor turn out to be considerably more low that in Italy, for the deep differences that exist between the normative system of these States and our Country".
The association of the manufacturers, manifesting appreciation for "the engagement of the Region to realize the ZES", however it has emphasized as "such measure, alone, is insufficient to tackle to the total requirements of I throw again of the port of Gioia Tauro. Special the Economic Zone, if effectively realized - it has explained Reggio Calabria Confindustria - it could produce of the positive effects on the back-harbour area and the development of the logistics. But this last one does not have some meaning without handling of the container. It is therefore priority to head at I throw again of the activity of transhipment, propedeutica to every other reasoning that you regard the area of Gioia Tauro. For this, it is necessary to continue to have use of the reduction of the anchor duties, on which every year bureaucratic delays and unacceptable difficulties are recorded; to obtain the discouragement of the octrois on the fuel in harbour within and the control of 45% of the social burdens".
Reggio Calabria confindustria considers, at last, that "the main roads to cover, in order to throw again the competitiveness of the Gioia Tauro system, are that of an innovative management of the production processes and the job organization and staff. Of it is an appreciable example - it has observed the association - the recent agreement reached between trade-union MCT and some acronyms that, with sense of responsibility and thanks to an effective institutional mediation, have accepted the Extraordinary Redundancy fund of various hundreds of workers".
