From Assiterminal a series of proposals for I throw again of the Italian portualità



The Italian Association Terminalisti Harbour (Assiterminal) has introduced today some proposals in order to throw again the Italian harbour activities, field that - it has emphasized the organization of the terminalisti - is fundamental for the increase of the economy and the competitiveness of the national enterprises, but that it endures the impact negative of the great difficulty of the economic conjuncture: the Italian portualità - Assiterminal has remembered - has closed 2013 with a total volume of tons of goods enlivened still inferior regarding 2007, before the beginning of the period of crisis. Moreover the association has evidenced as, "besides the common difficulties to other industrial fields, as high costs of labor and elevated taxation, bureaucratic duplications, normative uncertainties and credits to the enterprises, in the years of the crisis the harbour field has put up with an excessive increment of the burdens, for example increase of the concessori canons and the taxes and the harbor dues.

Assiterminal has denounced also the delay in adapting the national legislation in harbour matter to the new challenges taxes from the transformation of the market of the marine transport: "naval gigantism and the concentration between the operators - it has explained the association - until now involve the new necessity of important investments by the terminalistiche and chosen societies of programming of the public works never made, with a normative order as that of the law 84/94 that is not succeeded to adapt to the requirements of the market. The bill of reform to the examination of the Senate - it has emphasized Assiterminal - is pejorative regarding the existing, introducing new constraints to the freedom and the organization of the job and with an obvious inadequacy of the concessori regimes for new fine investments and period".

With its series of proposals, that we publish below, Assiterminal in the first place asks certainty and reasonableness for the rules, to begin for example from the fiscal norm (making definitive clarity on not the imponibilità LOCAL PROPERTY TAX /IMU on the state property areas in concession to the harbour terminalisti) to safety and security (security guards, Sistrum). Then the association asks modifications the fine terms for concession and the modernization for the norm on contracts publics, unification and temporal concentration of the controls on the goods in the ports by the public administrations on the example than from years in existence in the ports of the Europe North.

According to Assiterminal, with a series of other measures to cost zero (through, for example, the reduction of the bureaucracy and the simplification of procedures) is possible shortly a lowering of costs and an improvement of efficiency. Moreover for the association a national plan of the ports coherent with the communitarian guidelines is necessary about the transeuropea net of the transports.
