the Union Industrial of Naples throws again the proposal to institute an only Harbour Authority for Naples, Salerno and Castellammare



The Union Industrial of Naples throws again the proposal to institute an only Harbour Authority in order to supervise to the activities of the ports of Naples, Salerno and Castellammare. Commenting the declarations of the president of the Campania Region, Stefano Caldoro, that he has threatened to withdraw the "Great Project: Logistics and ports. Integrated system harbour of Naples" if within 60 days the involved subjects will not find again cohesion and union of attempts, project that the objective has to upgrade the port of the capital of Campania and previews among other things investments for 240 million euros of deep from programming 2007-2013 of the European Fund for Regional Development (FERS), the president of the Neapolitan manufacturers Paolo Graziano has given reason to governor Caldoro: "the involved subjects - Gratian has confirmed - would have to row all in the same direction, and this instead does not happen. The risk to lose competitiveness regarding the other Italian ports is highest".

"The Union Industrial of Naples - Gratian has explained, - is for a long time on these positions and already last year in fact it has asked with determination the institution for an only Authority that coordinated with closely managerial competences the Harbour Authorities of Naples, Salerno and Castellammare. It is useless - it has evidenced - to make the war between poor and making competition inside, because it is the harbour regional total system that must win. In order to reach this objective, but, the goodwill not enough more. It is necessary to demonstrate with the facts and sense of responsibility the own good intentions, also in the respect of the roles of everyone. Too much often we see instead the excess to prevail of particular interests, with the result of a kind of all against all".

"While the port of Naples in this situation discounts serious delays and not there is trace of notices for the employment of the allocated resources - it has continued Paolo Graziano - the port of call of Civitavecchia has quite closed some yards and realized infrastructural works in advance regarding the previewed times. We cannot allow that with the time it is Civitavecchia to candidate itself as port of reference for the Mediterranean; it is a role that is up to Naples and we must defend avoiding it the loss of competitiveness".

"He is therefore fundamental - it has concluded the president of the manufacturers of Naples - to maintain to constant the attention on the potentialities and the criticalities of the port of Naples, in a vision of system that account also of the other ports of call of the province and the region holds, let alone of the multiple interested logistic and intermodal nodes, if we want to prime a propulsive mechanism with considerable benefits for the economy of the territory".

Also deputy mayor of Naples it has appreciated the declarations of the governing one lives: "own because we share its words - has specified Tommaso Sodano - we ask the president for the Caldoro Region the immediate convocation for a interistituzionale table that sees the participation of all the involved subjects in order to exceed, in the short possible time, the obstacles for the realization of the Great Project of the port of Naples. This administration - it has emphasized deputy mayor - considers that the eventuality of a renunciation cannot neither be taken in consideration to this plan, strategic for I throw again of the city of Naples and the entire Region. We are convinced that there are the conditions because Naples can compete in the international scene inside a strategy of connection between ports, for interposing you and street and railway infrastructures in order to return the project of the port online with international the commercial requirements. So as it appears indispensable to proceed quickly to the nomination of the president of the Harbour Authority indicating a figure of high profile and maximum quality, that she is totally stranger to logical partitiche and policies".
