The Municipality of Ravenna considers an error the cession of public quotas Sapir



The municipal administration of Ravenna considers that the decision of some Municipalities of the province to yield their quotas in the Sapir, the public-private harbour society that in the port of Ravenna work activity of boarding, disembarkation and storage of the goods and work as terminalista, constitutes an error. "It displeases me - he has said today deputy mayor of Ravenna, Giannantonio Mingozzi - than some Municipalities of our province they are thinking or already they have deliberated to offer for sale their shareholding in Sapir. Draft, goes quickly clarified - it has specified - of share entities that do not endanger the public majority of the Sapir share capital. But they are however indicative of an address that I consider deeply wrong, even though in a very critical moment of difficulty budgetary that the Common ones are crossing".

"The actions of Lugo, Alfonsine, Massa Lombarda and Cotignola, as an example - it has explained deputy mayor of Ravenna - constitute, added, the 0,89 percent of the shareholders and therefore the public majority, about the 53 percent, does not run some danger. However, I equally emphasize that the port of Ravenna constitutes a value and a useful infrastructure to all the provincial and regional economy, and every small sign of disengagement of the public, although of modest entity, goes contrasted, today in particular, when we are about to realize investments of extraordinary economic and strategic importance".

"I want to hope - it has continued Mingozzi - than from those Municipalities is at least restated the confirmation that the port constitutes an increasing opportunity for the economy of those territories, wishing me also that with Holding Ravenna (society controlled from the Municipalities of Ravenna, Cervia and Faenza that stops 18.53% of Sapir, ndr) can be estimated the opportunity to participate to the ban of auction for those which offered for sale actions".

"I emphasize - it has concluded deputy mayor of Ravenna - than while it is proceeded towards an only province of Romagna where the interchange of shareholding between more territories could be a force sign and of compactness, for Ravenna the public majority of society as Sapir, is also element of balance and guarantee for the same private imprenditoria. All this does not question the eventuality that can be discussed about a gradual disengagement of Sapir from the terminalistiche activities, as mayor Fabrizio Matteucci has restated, once followed through those investments in the port for which the active presence of a Sapir to public majority, my warning, is fundamental and irrenounceable".
