For the future of the port of Livorno "carrying out is necessary: they serve more timeliness and less controversies". The president of the Region Tuscany, Enrico Rossi has said yesterday, taking part to the convention "Livorno in the scene of the European portualità" that he has held near the Chamber of Commerce of the Leighorn city. "The town development plan of the port - it has specified - goes approved of. Nobody wants to impose nothing to nobody - it has added Rossi - but draft of chosen that they cannot be sent back. And then there will be the phase of the observations that will serve, exactly, in order to collect proposed and corrections".
According to the Tuscan governor, "or the port of Livorno it succeeds to complete a carried out one in the turn of the next years or will become a marginal truth". The objective, for the president of the Tuscany, must be that to quickly recover competitiveness regarding the concurrent ports and of being ready to receive the great container vessels of near future, guaranteeing efficient timelinesses and connections with the great railway and street net.
"Well then - it has found Rossi - the work of escavo, than the Region it has financed with 4,5 million, and of modernization of the docks, but - it has emphasized - it must work with conviction in order to realize the Europe Dock, indispensable in order to increase the marine traffic, beginning from the great container vessels. An investment of 630 million. And just for the sake of to demonstrate that we want to mean it we have already previewed, in budget 2015, a financing of 170 million euros; the Harbour Authority has been engaged to make equally and will ask the government to make its part, taking part with other 170 million. Livorno - it has emphasized Rossi - deserves these investments, is because it has received inferior financings to other harbour truths and above all because invested from a heavy crisis. And then we must be able to realize this strategic work in the turn of next the three, maximum four years. Of it I have spoken also with the mayor. Now all entirety we must start I confront with the government. I have confidence. We can make them it".
Observing that Livorno is the Tuscany truth, with Piombino and the area of Massa and Carrara, more in difficulty, Rossi it has explained that "if we wanted to bring back Livorno in the Tuscany average we would have to create quickly 20 thousand places of work. We must recover these delays. In order to make it - it has evidenced - we need a city unit, so as to make to recover to the port the lost competitiveness".
