Debate to Genoa on a bill on the portualità that not I like to nobody
It has been organized from Filt-Cgil. Robba (Assiterminal) and Marcucci (Assologistica) launch an alarm for the possible excess of ability to the ports
November 26, 2012
The formulation of the proposal of modification of the harbour law of reform n. 84 of 1994 currently to the sieve of the Italian Parliament do not satisfy for nothing the expectations and the requirements of national the marine-harbour cluster. Nobody of the representatives of the workers, the enterprises and the harbour institutions has expressed satisfaction for the contents of the bill. The only position of the stakeholder of the field in confronts last September of the text fired from the Senate and transmitted to the examination of the Chamber of Deputies - as well as of giving up for the debilitating and unfruitful distance that has carried to its definition - it is of auspice that the normative proposal comes or it does not come definitively approved of in the course of the current legislature, by now to trickle.
"I am in order to approve of it", it is the opinion of the president of the Association of the Italian Ports (Assoporti) and of the Harbour Authority of Genoa. Taking part this afternoon to Saint George Palace, center of the harbour agency of the capital of Liguria, to the organized public debate from Filt-Cgil Genoa on the topic "I reorder of the harbour legislation. Fallen back on the job and the enterprises", Luigi Merlo has specified that "if there are shared minimal points has a sense to approve of the norm". However also the president of Assoporti and the genoese harbour authority anything but is satisfied of the current text, to which - it has specified - "the classroom of the Senate has brought remarkable pejorative modifications", so much so that it has exhorted "all to work to a new law of reform to introduce in the next legislature".
The bill does not receive not even the demands neither does not satisfy the waits of the harbour terminalisti, as they have emphasized the director of Assiterminal, Luigi Robba, and vice-president of Assologistica, Nereo Marcucci, neither those of the harbour workers, as it has evidenced the representative of the genoese secretariat of a Filt-Cgil, Enrico Ascheri. It is by the union that of the enterprises however is rimarcata the necessity to maintain the social peace on the docks, requirement that the same Merlon as president of the Italian Harbour Authorities has placed this weekend to the attention of the government ( on 26 November 2012).
In the course of the encounter Robba and Marcucci they have among other things newly denoted the lack of a national direction that sovraintenda to a coherent development of the Italian portualità. Such deficiency - they have found - for example allows the perseguimento of new great projects of harbour infrastructuring in a moment in which the question it is tinning and, second the forecasts, such will remain in the next few years. Putting into effect these projects - it has specified the representative of Assiterminal - in 10/15 years the ability to traffic of the container of the Italian ports will go up per year to 30-35 million container teu, absolutely excessive ability and that - has specified - no question will be able to demand. Currently - Marcucci has said - in Italy million teu per year are enlivened five, because the others five are enlivened in transfer and therefore shunted towards markets foreign countries. In particular, vice-president of Assologistica has rejected the project of the Harbour Authority of Venice face to realize a container height terminal place to out of the Venetian lagoon. "The priority - it has concluded Marcucci - is not the great investments in harbour infrastructures, but it is of giving a direction to the system".
