A group of influential gone different parliamentarians of the United Kingdom has sent to a letter to the British Prime Minister David Cameron speeding up the refusal of the proposal of the EU commission to impose regulations on the harbour services, that it is introduced last May ( on 23 May 2013).
In the missive, written from former minister al Lavoro, John Denholm, and signed from 24 parliamentarians, explains itself that the regulations "damage the harbour industry of the United Kingdom. The market of the ports of the United Kingdom - it is found - is considered more highly competitive in Europe and, made only, the ports of the United Kingdom I am in great part of the private sector. The regulations proposed from the Commission - they have emphasized the deputies - will interfere with the commercial freedom of our ports and will undermine their ability to attract investments in primary national infrastructures".
"As insulare nation - the letter continues - our ports are essential for the occupation, the investments and the economic increase. About 95% of the exchanges of goods of the United Kingdom one moves by sea. Every year our main ports contribute with 21 billion pounds to the Gross Domestic Product one and support beyond job 400.000 places. In last the five years the investments of the main ports of the United Kingdom have only contributed to create 50,000 new places of work".
"Although the failure of the two precedence attempts to introduce analogous regulations - they have found the English parliamentarians - the Commission seems determined to get ahead its wrong indifferenziato approach. We exhort the government lively to resist to this intrusion and protecting independence of the ports of the nation. It is essential - they have concluded - than the regulations proposal on the harbour services of the EU is blocked in order protect the national interest".
