"The port of Trieste - Isabella De Monte in the course of the reunion has asserted - must be propeller of development for entire the Friuli-Venezia Giulia: he is indispensable a vision of with of the port of call and inland, and a its strategic management as port-region. In this perspective - it has found - the potenziamento of the railway connections between the port and the markets of reference, on the guiding ones of the European corridors, is an absolute priority".

According to the summits of Confetra FVG, "the potenziamento of the connections with the markets of the Center and East Europe it is the intransgressible point from which leaving in order to increase the competitiveness of the port of Trieste, mostly specialized port of call in the flows of goods in transit towards these communitarian Countries. We are - they have remembered - a border port and face the hardest competition with truths that enjoy more favorable conditions. He is improrogabile to invest on the docks, but - they have emphasized - it is equally on the connections: inverting the factors, we must create a region-port upgrading the regional feature of the Adriatic-Baltic Sea corridor and integrating the regional harbour system with that interportuale that insists on this corridor".

A controlled customs corridor between the port of Trieste and Vienna would be favorable for example, on the director of the European corridor the Adriatic-Baltic Sea. It is then necessary to inside improve the customs services of the port of call, adapting them to the European standards, in order to return them faster and efficient, and less expensive. The procedures must be homogenous in all the Countries members of the EU, in order to avoid a distortion of the competition".
