December 11, 2013
The Fit Cisl Calabria invites to give to course to the initiatives and the investments previewed from the Agreement of Program Picture for the logistic-intermodal pole of Gioia Tauro who has been undersigned from the government and the local institutions calabre in 2010 ( on 29 September 2010). According to the union, in fact, it is necessary "to go beyond the good intentions" and is urgent the activation of a regional table that "can analyze of the causes and remove the effects of an obvious disaffection of the enterprises to invest in the logistic pole and the harbour area of Gioia Tauro".
"Alle territorial, national institutions and more in general terms politics and to the world of the enterprise - Annibale Fiorenza explains, general secretary of Fit Cisl Calabria - wonders to abandon the rhetorical and the defeatism of way and to dedicate to the waited for engagement in promoting investments in order to take advantage of the marine potentialities and to value the productive potentialities of the harbour area. It is urgent to make to today advance the implementing policies of the investments of the recalled "Agreement of Program Picture of 2010" in great disregarded part, beginning from the realization of the "Railway Gateway", work strategic to cantierizzare as soon as possible. It comes us to ask - Fiorenza finds - because this has happened, in spite of the ready availability of 20 million euros of the "Pon Bottoms Nets for Mobility 2007-2013"? Why no entrepreneurial subject, and not only hasn't the group FS but also the same Contship group with its company of logistics and other Italian and foreign enterprises, participated to the past due ban of contest 21st April 2013? Why this generalized disengagement of the enterprises? Because permane the do-nothing policy of the competent authorities that, up to the present, do not turn out to us has reproposed a new ban of contest"
Fiorenza remembers that the recent update of the European planning, approved of 19th November, confirmation the inclusion of the port of Gioia Tauro in the "Core net" on the Stockholm-Palermo axis. "This - it emphasizes - strengthens the convincement that the port of Gioia Tauro is the strategic infrastructure, in a position to giving to overhong to the increase and the development of all the Calabria and of the entire Country. On it must invest. In order to make it must remove all laces and laccioli that until now they have prevented to use the resources available of note APQ of september 2010 and to delay the institution of the "Special Economic Zone"".
"The choices of Europe - the representative of Fit Cisl Calabria continues - confirm us that the port of Gioia Tauro is not solo seen as port of marine transfer but strategic port" in the system of the nets of national and international transport is considered ". In the merit of the consolidated activities of transfer, in consideration of the new strategies of market of the navigation lines - Fiorenza observes - we consider that there are the conditions so that the Contship group, and associates, can make more in order to increase handlings and to reorganize the hours of redundancy fund that give time too much they strongly condition the economic and social conditions of the workers who live the economic unstableness and in the uncertainty of their future. Al MCT management (the society of the Contship group that manages the container terminal of the port of Gioia Tauro, ndr) we ask more attention on the organization for the job and to a coherent maintenance for functional activity to loosen the vice of a redundancy fund that is strongly penalizing the force job. This - Fiorenza concludes - is the moment to generate confidence in order to strengthen the image of a efficient and reliable truth. It is so that the conditions useful are created to generate the wait competitiveness of a modern and opened operating structure to the opportunities of the market".
