It is for us - Zoppas has explained - an important result, I yield of the appeal that we have launch together with other trade associations and of the Venetian trade-union representations. The fallen back senators have finally taken note of our worry regarding serious economic and the occupational ones who could happen because of the decisional uncertainty. Aspect that, inside of the political debate of these months, strongly was underrated".

To send back of others three months the solution on the progettuale choice, excluding then the insertion in Objective Law - it has emphasized Zoppas - could make useless the many efforts made in open maintaining the dialogue with the companies of navigation with respect to the guarantees of the crocieristica programming. We expect therefore that the government can speed up of the decision considering that three months, with the political fibrillation that our Country is not never made to lack, could be revealed longest.
