Mauri (PD): for I throw again of the marine-harbour system do not serve alone investments and norms, but also the attention of the government
Servants in the first place - she has explained - a ministry only of the Transports and a true minister of the Transports
February 6, 2013
"In order to throw again politics of the ports and to afford to our harbour system to express all own potentialities, do not serve alone investments, do not serve alone norms, but also attention. It serves a specific attention by the government. It in the first place serves a ministry only of the Transports and a true minister of the Transports. And it then serves someone that is dedicated full-time to the policies of the sea". It has emphasized today Matteo Mauri, responsible Trasporti of the Party Democratic, in its participation to the convention "the force of the sea - Ideas of government for the economy of the organized sea" to Rome from the Department Transports of the PD.
"The Party Democratic - Mauri has declared - is aware of the force and the opportunities that the sea can give, but also of the problems that in this moment of it block the potentialities. We candidate ourselves to govern also in order to resolve these problematic ones. I make some examples of provisions that would go quickly made: the first - it has explained - autonomy financial institution". Evidencing that also the current technical so-called government "certainly has not been distinguished with its minister on the topic of the transports", Mauri has found that "what is successful to make in the last year, with the convinced support of the PD, is the reproposition of the autonomy financial institution of the Harbour Authorities that the government Berlusconi had blocked (percentage of the jettison at sea VAT and octrois, finalized to the investments). A right choice - it has specified - but whose application has been but insufficient and timid because it has previewed a percentage only of 1% and moreover with a maximum of 70 million euros/year, a drop in the sea, exactly". It is necessary - Mauri has explained - "to remove the roof of 70 million in order to support the development plans of the single ports and to gradually increase the percentage until the roof of 3% for the great harbour works".
Always in topic of ports, Mauri has mentioned the issue of the reduction of the number of the Harbour Authorities: the argument - it has specified - "does not see us prejudicially contrary. Indeed, we are of the opinion that between the Harbour Authorities has been some enfilades at the last moment at least a pair too much. The issue - it has observed - does not have to be seen so much under the economic visa, point of view the limited number of the attache's and their economic self-sufficiency. A simplification for amalgamation can instead be taken in consideration if this serves in order "to direct the traffic better". The coordination function is absolutely first importance in order to avoid Far West between the ports. To think but that it can to small table be decided the vocation of the single ports and be addressed to you the goods - it has emphasized - is a fantasy. The ports must know to be on the market, to have able and dynamic leaders, to at best interpret the economic vocation of own territory or own geographic breakup. Mainly it must put them in the conditions for being competitive with serious politics for the ports, than today not there is".
"Moving to us instead on the plan of the absolute necessity of rationalization of the procedures and the bureaucratic simplification - it has continued - we are convinced that it is possible to proceed to stages forced towards the harbour only door, a reform to cost zero, indeed that ago to save. A case in which a reform it would have the effect of a revolution".
Between the other measures that, according to the PD, would go assumed in order to favor I throw again of the competitiveness of the Italian marine-harbour system, Mauri has cited also "the exemption from the payment of the octrois on fuels for the cars that inside operate of the ports of call and the restoration of the incentives to the arranged transport road-ship (ecobonus), than the government Berlusconi it has blocked".
"I signal at last - it has concluded Mauri - than the delays of the logistics and of infrastructures tens of billions cost per year to the system of the Italian enterprises, and are necessary to not only recover this gap through the investments of great dimensions, but also through the small and averages works".
