the new summits of the ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports do not satisfy the waits of Spediporto
Belts: "bitterness and disappointment"
May 3, 2013

The ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports of the new Italian government, that it has lend oath Sunday slid to the Quirinale, is guided by Maurizio Lupi of Popolo of the Freedom that yesterday, meeting the heads department and the general managers of its ministry, it has evidenced as "the ministry has repurchased a its independent identity after the amalgamation with that of the Development, dictated from a suspension of the politics from which we have exited".

New minister Lupi is placed side by side by viceministro Vincenzo De Luca, mayor of Salerno and exponent of the Party Democratic, that he has emphasized the gravosità of the job that attends them: "the competences of the ministry of Infrastructures and Transports - it has remembered - are exterminated, from the railroads to the freeways, the harbour system to that of public transport. There is an exterminated field of activity regarding which it must make of the challenging choices".

The new undersecretaries to Infrastructures and Transports are Erasmo D' Angelis, president of Publiacqua, the society that the water service in four provinces of the Tuscany manages, and Rocco Girlanda, representative of Popolo of the Freedom.

These nominations have provoked satisfaction in some and disappointment in others. Between these last ones there is the association of the genoese shippers Spediporto, that it has rimarcato as was "great wait and hope on the regarding nominations the Infrastructure and Ministry of Transportation, beginning from its apex summit in order to come down on vice ministers and undersecretaries, tied to the fact that finally, assumed the strategic importance of the marine field and the logistics for the future of the Country, the Read government showed the will of a strong change of direction, orienting own decisions on the base of the specific competences in a complex and difficult field as that of the transports. The nominations - it has denounced the association - but have disappointed the expectations, not for a issue tied to the choice of a person rather than of another, but rather for the specific competences, individual backgrounds and curricula".

The opinion of
inforMARE

It can turn out indefinable, indecipherable too much or end comprehensible this taken of position of Spediporto. It can be evidenced that he is inusuale and irrituale. For someone it can turn out relevant, for other inopportune or quite sconveniente. What it cannot be denied is that is late.

The association of the genoese shippers complains itself because the nominations to the summits of the ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports do not satisfy its waits, as if the new Read government defined "political" had had to answer to these requests already disregarded by the precedence "technical" government of Monti let alone by many other executives of varied definition and caratura.

The denunciation - new and evidently late - is introduced to little days from the income in Parliament of Roberta Oliaro, fresh past president of Spediporto and new deputy of Chosen Civita for Italy. The genoese association has considered necessary to specify that own disappointment is not "for a issue tied to the choice of a person rather than of another".

Spediporto does not have never advanced a so severe critic in occasion of a numberless series of arguable nominations to national, regional or local level institutional. One is said: better late that never. Perhaps now, but, it is indeed too late. The Italian economy risks not to survive to the summer.

Bruno Bellio
"Bitterness and disappointment - the new president of Spediporto has explained, Maurizio Fasce - are the feelings that characterize humor of the genoese shippers, but perhaps more in general terms those of the harbour user. It would be interesting to understand and to know what of it thinks my colleagues of the other associations and same president Merlo (Harbour Authority of Genoa, ndr) in its dresses of president of Assoporti".

Spediporto has specified that "the nomination of Enrico Letta to Prime Minister had made to hope the operators of the field, in force of the affirmations that the same one Read had made with reference to the transports and the logistics during election campaign. In that context - it has specified the association - its judgment was seemed oriented to the necessity of giving force to the field, with choices voted to reward competences and to throw again the economy of the sea through a strong support by the government. Waits that at the moment seem betrayed from the operated choice in order to compose the Infrastructure and the Ministry of Transportation. A choice fallen on the sure most valid personalities, but with little culture tied to the field of the transports and the logistics. What that instead would be served a lot".

The president of Spediporto has specified as its "is not a judgment on the people, able and moreover sure competent in the withins in which they have matured the respective experiences, but on the fact that once again in Italy has given more listening logical than political type that not to the specific competences and experiences".

Spediporto has carried for example how much happens in other nations: "in Germany - it has observed Maurizio Fasce - the Federal Ministry of Transport is lead by Peter Ramsauer, class 1954, from the 2009 minister of the Transports after a experience in the civil service and the Bundestag. Its right arm and undersecretary to the transports are Andreas Scheuer, class 1974! , from 2005 (hardly 31 years) member of the commission you transport of the Bundestag and from the 2009 secretary of state the Ministry of Transportation. From 2010 it covers also the coordinator charge, inside of the ministry, of the commission you transport, logistics and shipments. In Holland - he has still found Belts - we have a minister woman, Melani Schult Von Hoege-Moas Geesternaus, than before to become minister of the Transports secretary of state of the same ministry has been about to ten years". The president of the genoese shippers has emphasized as "these elements would have stuffed to reflect on as the importance of sure chosen in other Countries is faced looking before to the competences and the experience matured in a field rather than to the political-leave balances us. The gap economic and infrastructural of Italy regarding Countries as Germany, France and Holland - it has stated Belts - is born also from here".

"As category - it has concluded Belts - we will not make however to lack proposed and initiatives, indeed we propose ourselves to develop inside Spediporto a Commission that sets the objective to actively stimulate the government and the Parliament to enter on the issues of the logistics, with the critical sense of an operator, in order to comprise of fully potentiality and criticality. The hope is also that which our from Liguria parliamentarians will want to support this our activity, giving us space and way to inside explain our initiatives of the parliamentary commissions".

The words of Belts have collected approval of Roberta Oliaro, neodeputata and former president of Spediporto: "the under way reflections from the friend, connect and president of Spediporto Maurizio Fasce, that I have had a chance for read in preview - has declared - find me absolutely in agreement. It is not a issue tied to the people, the new ones named minister, the vice minister and the undersecretaries, but to the necessity that this field saw valued, at the level of role, the experience and the competences that many colleagues parliamentarians, or not parliamentarians, have matured in years of activity in the field of the economy of the sea, the logistics and the transports. Although inside of the Ministry of Transportation there are important competences and the most valid people, me Dr. Caliendo springs to mind the general manager, than sure they will know to advise and to more guide the tightened choices of the minister and its collaborators - he has continued Roberta Oliaro - from operator, before still that from parliamentarian, I say that he could be right time in order to demonstrate that the true valorization of a field had to pass through the highest valorization of its present competences in parliament, in the government majority, but also outside. The world of the shipping and the logistics has complexity pairs to those of the economy, of is in fact a specialized estrinsecazione. It would have been therefore lawful to attend that, so as it happens in order more blasonati ministries, the choices happened taken into consideration the specific experiences and of the acquired competences in the field. We face - Roberta Oliaro has asserted - to the confirmation of a political decline of the representative ability to the economy of the private sea, already for a long time, of its ministry of reference (that of Marina Mercantile) that it has progressively seen to diminish the role and the importance of a field that in others you leave of Europe (you see Germany) is pulling ahead for the economy, the occupation and the development”.
