Monti (Assoporti): it is urgent that the government who acts on the sensitive ganglia of the competitiveness of the harbour system



The illustration by the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports is attended to days, Maurizio Lupi, of its plan of reform of the law on the ports on which it discusses and us it comes to blows from months but only for whom it concerns to the hypothesis of amalgamation of some Harbour Authorities, that it is the content of the plan that is intentional to announce to means prints. A hypothesis that seems destined to remain such since the minister seems inclined to institute new authorities in a position to steering an entire logistic-harbour system rather than to eliminate local autonomies.

In sight of the post-electoral presentation of the governmental plan (the ports can attend - it would come to say - the ballots not), on the topic newly take part today the president of Assoporti, the association of the Italian Harbour Authorities, emphasizing as he is "indispensable and by now urgent a provision of the government who acts immediately on the sensitive ganglia of the competitiveness of the harbour system and therefore of that logistic one". Pasqualino Monti has in particular emphasized "the urgency of a measure that recepisca to its inside the main indications traced by the Association of the Italian Ports". Indications of practical order "that - it has explained - they determine quickly from a total increase of the standards of efficiency of national the harbour system and that therefore they never return it more competitive in a market of the shipping as aggressive and today pitiless with who of it violates the rules".

"The measures of which we speak - have clarified Monti - they are those relative ones to the sburocratizzazione of the customs procedures with displacement of the same ones from the port to the territory, to the full and unambiguous acknowledgment to the Harbour Authorities of the role of coordination of all the institutional and autoritativi subjects that operate in harbour within; but also to the parallel sburocratizzazione of relative the autorizzative procedures to the dredgings and the town development plans of the ports, the total simplification of the governance of the Harbour Authorities, to the autonomy financial institution as effective instrument in order to select also the priorities of national the logistic system, in the optical of the communitarian corridors and however of coordination that today does not exist". "The times of the market - the president of Assoporti has denounced - are by now far light years from those of our decisional mechanism".

Monti has evidenced moreover as it is necessary and improrogabile a credit scheme of the strategic works for the Harbour and logistic Authorities that, "in the industrial plans of system, carry to identify which works are indispensable in order to answer to the requirements of the market". "And also indispensable - he has added - to realize a process bottom-up in the constitution of the harbour systems, following the indications of by now the next regulations on the nets IT TRY. That is to indeed follow the corridors of the goods".

"At stake, and it presses me to remember it - he has concluded Monti - is pre-requisitioning: the ports are the key, in order to give again competitiveness to the system Country. In order to make this not there is more space for dismissals. A provision must be resumed immediately in hand that organic sees government, parliament and Assoporti (in qualities of adviser) engaged in the editing of the final text".
