Boredoms (Confcommercio) write to minister Lupi in order to recommend a fast launch of the harbour reform
"Absolutely indifferibile an participation in this within"
July 9, 2014
The vice president of Confcommercio, Paolo Uggè, has sent a letter to the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Maurizio Lupi, in which he expresses worry for the risk that the yard of the reform of the legislation in harbour matter, opened in Italy longtime, does not succeed to shut in times breviums.
The Italian harbour system - it has observed Boredoms - anticipates serious criticalities and discounts strong structural delays respect to other European Countries: we are to the twentieth place in classifies world-wide of the index that account of the quality of infrastructures and the harbour services (to the first place Germany holds, to the second Holland, the third party Belgium); in Italy 17 days are necessary in average in order to export a container, almost the triple one of Germany and the United Kingdom; every year in our Country the traffic removed to the Italian portualità from the most efficient ports of the Europe North is almost means million container.
The vice president of Confcommercio therefore has manifested worry for the risk that the modification of the Italian norm on the ports is not put into effect within this month: this - it has written Boredoms - "would be a serious defect not only for the same national logistic system, that it sees in the ports the points of anchorage to international dynamics, but also for the Country, since, as evidenced in a recent convention of the Confederation on the topic, accessibility represents a pre requisitioned for the economic development, and for the government of the Country that a lot wants to be connoted for the reformist initiative".
"Considering an participation in this within absolutely indifferibile - it has explained Boredoms - it is necessary to include in the imminent provision dedicated to the transports urgent modifications to the law on the ports in order to raise the competitiveness of this essential asset of the Country. Confcommercio, that it has many times over represented in Parliament and in other public occasions own point of view on the harbour reform - has concluded - is ready to every ulterior deepening on the topic that will be considered necessary".
