February 6, 2015
The proposal of the Ministry of the economic Development to abolish article 17 of law 84/94 on the ports, what it regards the distribution of labor by the harbour cooperatives, "does not have to put to risk the quality of the services and, at the same time, to guarantee that every activity comes carried out respecting the legality". It supports Legacoop Romagna evidencing that "in these years the law enforcement and the answer of the harbour cooperatives in terms of investments and formation have afforded to guarantee a level of professionality that is one of the central elements for the maintenance of high qualitative standards of the harbour operations. The case of Ravenna - specific the association - is exemplary: its good health, confirmed from an increase of the traffics recorded in 2014, has had also to the essential contribution of the Harbour Company, of the group ormeggiatori, the pilots of the port, the services of towing. Draft of professionalities that have grown in the years and that they guarantee quality services. In so far as, since the government has the intention of start on the legislation of the Italian portualità, Legacoop asks that account holds the first place of the legality and the respect of the rules".
"Come Alleanza of the Italian cooperatives - the responsible Porto di Legacoop Romagna remembers, Rudy Gatta - we have raised the topic of the legality in an initiative of November 2013. We continue to think that the respect of the rules must be a value".
Moreover Legacoop insists on the requirement "that is recognized the professionality, safety and the quality of the current services, than - it emphasizes - would be questioned by the one adoption
politics of deregulation". The association wishes that the government, "when it takes part on the legislation in matter of infrastructures which airports and you carry, the face considering that they go valued the truths that have not only given proof of to know to compete on the market, but that in these years they have become an added value for the Italian marine ports of call".
Rudy Gatta announces that Legacoop Romagna will participate next monday to States general on the organized Portualità and Logistica from the Ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports. "In that center - the responsible Porto of the association explains - we will start with the executive an argument on the "national strategic Plan of the portualità and the logistics". We expect as Legacoop that is left from the ascertainment that the development of the ports of call will be possible only if we will value the standards of legality, safety and the professionality of the operators. We want that the new norms on the portualità not only hold account of abstract requirement of free competition, but also of the competences, and the experiences that in the years have matured the harbour workers. This - Cat concludes - because there are services that do not only answer to market criteria, but also of public usefullness".
