the operators of the port of Trapani protest for the role assigned to the port of call in case of amalgamation with Palermo



The New Consortium of the Port of Trapani, society cooperative constituted from operators of the Sicilian port of call, has sent a letter opened to the European, national and regional parliamentarians whom elected in Sicily in order to protest against the declarations returned from the president of the Harbour Authority of Palermo, Vincenzo Cannatella, to the daily paper "the Sicily" with respect to the possible amalgamation of the Harbour Authority of Palermo and Termini Imerese with Trapani in the within of the measures for the reform of the legislation in harbour matter under consideration of the government. "I consider - Cannatella to the Sicilian newspaper has explained - that is an important opportunity because Trapani could become a strategic landing place for the traffic goods on container. The reform does not carve the role of the port of call of Palermo, that it remains one I unwind fundamental in the Helsinki-The corridor TV assistant".

According to the Consortium, Cannatella would have revealed in advance the decisions on the reform of the ports taken from the Committee for the Portualità and the Logistics formed from the 15 tests named from the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Maurizio Lupi, that they would have to be inserted in a bill that the Renzi government will introduce to the Chambers.

To the operators of the Consortium the proposal of Cannatella has not gone down to assign to the Trapani port of call the role of "strategic landing place for the traffic goods with container". "Practically - denunciation the Consortium - the president of the Harbour Authority of Palermo has already decided, ex ante and to the place of the Italian parliament, the future of the port of Trapani. The affirmations - second the Trapani operators - are very serious and overly lesive regarding the freedom of enterprise of the Trapani harbour operators, not only because - they explain - Trapani is always seen by Palermo as a conquest earth (and this already has happened to the Supervising, the ASP, the University Consortium, the former Province etc) but also because, taking advantage of the reform of the ports, it is wanted to be imposed to another territory own projects and own ideas, modifying, in this way, the tourist and diportistica vocation of the activities tied to our port".

The New Consortium of the Port of Trapani has asked therefore the parliamentarians "an participation, determined fort and, in the competent alleviates institutional, in order to not only put again reasonably in the just railroads the issue of the reform of the ports, but also in order to emphasize and to restate I legitimize acknowledgment of the self-determination of the Trapani population".
