January 16, 2015
Prompt Uiltrasporti the Authority Antitrust to be interested of the acquisition of the control of Tirrenia Italian Company of Navigation (CIN) by the shipowning group Moby guided by Vincenzo Onorato ( on 29 December and 30 Decembers 2014). "We learn from the daily paper, in these hours - the general secretary of the labor organization, Claudio Tarlazzi has declared - that he is proceeding by Honored, owner of Moby lines and Toremar, the distance of acquisition of all the quotas Tirrenia CIN in the hands of the other associates. We are convinced that this operation is irregular, as we have many times over restated, for the obvious concentration of the routes of the Tyrrhenian one in the hands of a single shipowner, a monopoly risk that it would make to fail every type of competition".
"Strongly we are worried, moreover - it has continued Tarlazzi - for the heavy ones fallen back that if the unification between Moby came true and Tirrenia CIN would involve in the access of the users to the services and for the eventual loss of places of work of the current employed marine workers. He seems obvious, the will to proceed to such fusion in order to put the cases of annual Moby in order using the economic contribution of 72 million that Tirrenia perceives above all from Been about to the territorial continuity with the greater islands (necessary in the winter period)".
"In the past - the general secretary of the Uiltrasporti has remembered - Europe has already tax the privatization of old Tirrenia for the accumulated losses. In the starting phase, beyond Honored, they entered in the share compages also Grimaldi and Aponte (respective to the summit of the shipowning groups Grimaldi and MSC, ndr). Such situation was stoppata by the Antitrust, exactly, because an analogous situation to that would have been created today: a market concentration too much elevated".
"Therefore - it has concluded Tarlazzi - after to have asked an encounter the Prime Minister Renzi and to have put to acquaintance minister to Infrastructures and Trasporti Wolves on the topic, we call in the Italian Antitrust and if it had to be necessary we ask also the participation for the European Antitrust".
