Rossi (Tuscany Region): the project for the transport of the property left at death one of the Concord to Genoa goes resent to the sender
"It means - it explains - to risk five times more than to carry it to Piombino"
June 10, 2014
Yesterday the delegated commissioner of the government for the management of the emergency Concord, Franco Gabrielli, has decided to grant to the local governments ten days of time in order to examine more approfonditamente the plan introduced by Costa Crociere in order to remove property left at death of the ship Isola del Giglio and to transport it to Genoa for its digestion ( on 9 June 2014). Ulterior investigation that is completely useless, second the Tuscany Region. To reject the plan they are not officially the technicians of the Tuscan agency, but its president: "if a private subject had introduced the same project to the technicians of the nucleus of appraisal Via of the Tuscany Region - Enrico Rossi to conclusion of the reunion has sentenziato - is sure that after ten minutes they would have resent it to the sender".
"The project - according to Rossi - is devoid to the extent that it is agreed of giving more time in order to answer to the objections and to more allow with the technicians a deepened appraisal. The ship - the president of the Tuscany Region has explained - goes moved before the winter, but to carry it to Genoa, passing between the islands of the archipelago and through the sanctuary of the cetaceans, means to risk five times more than to carry it to Piombino. Navigation can only happen in conditions of smooth sea and with twenty not strong ones. And the forecasts weather-navy at a distance the five days collapse of 50% of reliability".
"I find narcotic - it has continued Rossi - the idea that against a tempest is proposed to repair itself behind the islands. Remainder of the opinion that in these cases is necessary to use a precaution criterion, than print all the European legislation in environmental matters, for which the risk must be always chosen smaller. And the risk smaller is to carry the ship to Piombino. Obviously if the port is ready within september. The distance between the Lily and Piombino can be covered in a single day of navigation, with forecasts absolutely reliable weather-navy".
"Only if within september the port were not ready, in order to avoid that the ship remainders another year in front of the Lily - has specified Rossi - is comprised that a lot would be also reasonable to risk five times. And in this case then the M5S is right to ask an important surety bond Costa Crociere. But outside this hypothesis it appears incomprehensible and not justified under every aspect the choice to discard the port of Piombino. Costa Crociere - it has concluded the president of the regional agency - has spold and made a lot, but he cannot think to prevail without in the first instance to listen to the opinion of the institutions and of the Tuscany Region that, before with the volunteers then with its technicians, always has been collaborative, in defense of the atmosphere and the general interests".
