April 16, 2014
Savona is lined up to defense of the autonomy of the threatened city port from the hypothesis of amalgamation of the local Harbour Authority to that of Genoa that is inserted in the plan of reorders of the legislation in formulated harbour matter from the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Maurizio Lupi.
The Chamber of Commerce Industry Handicraft and Agriculture of Savona has this morning organized in order, near own center, an encounter from the title "the savonese economic community in support of the autonomy of the port of Savona - I go" in order to illustrate to the economic categories of the province of Savona the reasons that return the maintenance of the autonomy of the port of Savona necessary - Vado Ligure.
Also from the political exponents of the city sollicitations reach to oppose themselves to the amalgamation project. Yesterday the town council of Savona has approved of an agenda introduced by Carlo Frumento, group leader of the Mixed group, with which the college/board of the municipality it is called to assume a critical position regarding the bill in parliament of I reorder of the ports and to oppose itself to the cancellation of the autonomy of the Harbour Authority of Savona.
Also from national the legislative assembly of Montecitorio taking of position against the amalgamation of the harbour agency of Savona has reached that of the capital of Liguria. The savonese deputy Anna Giacobbe of the Party Democratic is not at all in agreement with the hypothesis of unification of the two harbour authorities: "more of it he discusses himself - he has explained - more of it I convince me: this history of the amalgamation of the Harbour Authority of Savona to that of Genoa does not work, is a project that can be refuted, with many good arguments and the will to construct instead a coordination and a positive synergy between from Liguria ports and our various territories. In order to realize a true integration, beginning from conditions of pairs dignity between from Liguria ports - according to Anna Giacobbe - it is necessary to question the criteria on which the proposals in field melt on a national level, that they assign to Savona a "rank" of second category". "We need, in Liguria and the Country - it has continued the parliamentarian - to discuss and to decide indeed as making of the portualità and of "an integrated net of transport offer", in order to cite the national document of the PD, a strategic factor of the future of the national and European economy. The national argument has ended instead in order to concentrate itself on a rationalization of the system of government of the ports, made "on paper", bureaucratic and debatable, exposed equally to the debatable defenses of the existing "to prescind"".
Anna Giacobbe have emphasized that, looking to the substance, "the port of Savona-Go he has an operating dimension, for amount and enlivened type of goods, not only comparable, but in various cases advanced, to other ports that are destined to maintain an own autonomy; he has demonstrated of having an own concrete function, a good efficiency, has backdrops and absolutely competitive ground connections, he already has perspectives of increase with works in advanced phase of realization. It is a port - he has found - that has an own complexity and also a sovracomunale dimension. Not a small and inefficient port, or simply a row of docks to give in concession".
The deputy of the PD has concluded observing that "from Liguria ports have problems, certainly: would the incorporation of Savona in Genoa - it has wondered - in what help to resolve them? Other thing - it has emphasized Anna Giacobbe - is to construct agreements in order to make with a series of things in more efficient and less expensive way, to face in co-ordinate way the topic of infrastructures to earth, the modalities to attract traffics, in order to make of the competition and the market a factor of dynamism for all the truths and not a jungle without rules in which "mors tua vita mea". They do not serve superstructures of coordination, but a strong political will, in a national picture of government of the harbour and infrastructural system, and a role of the institutions that are, beginning from the Region".
