Always the disappointment is almost directly proportional to the expectations. It happens for the things, the circumstances, the people. Greater it is the which laid by confidence preventively in an action, a proposal, an individual, larger is the despondency for the result of the enterprise, for the behaviors of those people on which assignment has been made.

It can be previewed - quite to bet - than the negatività of the outcome of a project will be certainly live attended proportion to an excess.

This is that happens on our planet. The remainder is sci-fi.

Who knows from which other galaxy Merlon comes. From the empyreal sky the president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa exhorts to us to depend on the goodwill of the men. With the inner calm of who he purges himself of own sins, satisfied not to decide or induced to Hush, on the earth the government raises the song of a future idyllic, pure and arranged to go up to stars.

The reduction of the number of the Harbour Authorities is not determined explicitly by the bill of the government, but if by it is discussed for months. Stopping itself on this topic, Merlon has declared that he is preferable characterize a volontaristica opportunity of collaboration between Harbour Authorities pertaining to the same logistic system: a collaboration - it has specified - through co-ordinate programs of own activities, of the duration at least five years, that it previews integration of the town development plans, the adoption of the triennial operations plans, the adoption of a common investment program, the unitary regulation on the activity of competence of the harbour services. According to the proposal of Merlon, the Harbour Authorities that will activate this procedure, than - it has found - would allow economies of scale, would have an acknowledgment anniversary of a 1% in more than autonomy financial institution.

Merlon has moreover specified that, for that concerns the sburocratizzazione, in its proposal norms are shown that facilitate the relative approvals to the harbour works, that they define punctually the specificity of the Harbour Authorities and therefore the exclusion of the dependent from the contractual applications of Public Administration. Therefore facilitations for Italian Railway Net in order to inside realize railway infrastructures of the ports, the acceleration of the concessions and the relative actions under the four years, shortening of the times for the ordinary administration actions through the attribution of powers directed to the president and the possibility to increase to the delegations towards the general secretary and the leaders of the agency. Al president is assigned the possibility to convene conferences of the stiff services to inside improve and to return the organization of the port more effective. Point characterizing for the controls - for Merlon - the idea to inside assign to the Agency of Customs the role of coordination of all the activities of control of the goods of the ports.

Moreover - it has added the president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa - on the organization of the job, article 17 of law 84/94 in harbour matter, is formulated proposed stiff to exceed the rigidities of the current system in order to transform the former companies in labor pool, being allowed they to operate in not closely connected state property withins to the exclusively commercial activity. Also a norm is proposed - it has emphasized - in order to allow maximum transparency, parity of treatment and uniformity on a national scale in topic of concessions of areas and docks: the Harbour Authority adopts regulations that must be subordinate to the opinion of the Authority of regulation of the transports instituted meantime. The plan then previews the elimination of the tax Local Property Tax from the destined state property docks to the industrial productions, the shipbuilding activities and railway and street infrastructures. Ulterior and a proposed important articulated, shared with the group of the pilots - it has concluded Merlon - at last regards the modification of the norms of responsibility of the pilots of the Italian ports, that it must involve also modifications also to the navigation code, stiff to conform the Italian norm to that of the main European ports of call. This limiting the responsibility of the single pilot to a million euro for event.
