The organizations of the enterprises and the shopkeepers and the unions of Venice have complained indecision of the government with respect to the choice of the way alternative so that the great ships can reach the Marine Station of Venice. Today in a statement combined Confindustria Venice, Confartigianato Venice, CNA Venice, Confcommercio Venice, Confesercenti Venice, Coldiretti Venice, CGIL Venice, CISL Venice, UIL Venice, Chamber of Commerce I.A.A of Venice, Venice Passenger terminal Spa and Harbour Autorità of Venice has expressed a strong worry for the lacked decision that - they have remembered - "is attended gives beyond two years and many times over discussed in formal and informal occasions, but that still it is being made to attend".
"Taken lacking position of the government, or ulterior delays in the definitive decision - they have found - would have the single consequence to offer an automatic solution to the problem: the ships would abandon Venice that would lose so the entire crocieristico section and, with it, the economy and the occupation correlated for the benefit of other ports, not Italian".
"To the news that gives season 2015, some ships (13 touched for about 100 thousand fleeting) have already independently decided to move the home port from Venice to Athens and Istanbul - it is explained in a note - the categories 5th November confirm the urgency of an immediate one and corrected comparazione of the navigable ways practicable alternatives and through the iter indicated 2013: to hinge in a procedure of appraisal of environmental impact in the times previewed from the Objective Law a preliminary project of a new via of access to the Station of Marine. Procedure that guarantees sure times and the corrected comparazione of the hypotheses alternatives so that the final decision is taken on the base of technical elements and not behind the thrust of sentimentalisms, or worse, than political pressures. Solution - they have emphasized the organizations of the enterprises and the representatives of the workers - than cannot be represented from the project of adaptation of the channel Vittorio Emanuele III, solution that anticipates technical limits of not ovviabili navigabilities in the immediate one and that therefore it has lived as a mere prelude, or trick, to the transfer of the crocieristica to Marghera to damage of the commercial traffic, the companies who reside to you and the occupation of the entire area".
"The time tightens, it is the conclusive phrase of the encounter today - the note concludes - you speed up because on June 30, 2014 it is the last date that the cruise companies can attend before to decide independently to abandon Venice from 2016, cancelling one of the more vital fields of the Venetian and national economy".
