Bucchioni (La Spezia Confindustria): the issue of the customs corridors must be debated in Harbour Committee



The president of the manufacturers of the province of has manifested worry relatively to the debate that have opened between shippers and Harbour Authority of on the topic of the customs corridors, with the association of the doganalisti Aspedo that has criticized the harbour agency for the introduction of the customs corridor on the Ikea warehouses and with the harbour authority that has replied remembering the initiative is agreed directly by the company of the Swedish group with the Agency of Customs ( on 26 March 2015).

"The shippers - he has found Giorgio Bucchioni - paventano that the innovation on one side modifies the existing customs legislative picture to European level with an administrative action putting in danger their job and from the other returning the results obtained with the informatizzazione pushed from the category, with the preclearing, the programmed investments useless on Santo Stefano in order to realize a retroporto also customs, with the expensive technology of the harbour scanners, with the pontenziamento of the organic ones of the Agency of Customs through the absorption of numerous former employee of the provincial administration and also, not last, the same mission of the School National Transports that, even though projected in national field, it has always received base and credibilities from the development of the induced one of the port break. Moreover - it has observed the president of La Spezia Confindustria - little perplexities do not generate the mission of Uirnet, widely financed from the public money and that in many they consider dangerous for the possible monopoly in a field in which competitive dynamics they have always constituted factor of development".

"In short - it has emphasized Bucchioni - we are in the presence of full bodied reasonings that cannot be liquidated tacciando who advances them of ingenerosità or, worse, than corporatismo that is opposed to the progress. The history of the innovative abilities to the categories, if known, it would prevent every appraisal of this type: first computerized customs manifestos, the CAD, the societies of common services, the preclearing have always seen the customs brokers spezzini as the tips advanced in Italy. The will to innovate on the harbour operators, also to the detriment of own immediate interests, is testimony of last the 40 history years of the port breaks and its successes. Neither - it has still evidenced Bucchioni - the position assumed by the shippers can be liquidated asserting that all Customs depend on".

"The world of the harbour operators - it has continued the president of the association of the manufacturers - has before looked to the Chamber of Commerce and then to the Harbour Authority as the public body whom, in the picture of the institutional and legal system constituted the essential reference for the development of the port which value of entrepreneurial, occupational, reddituale increase of the territory. Draft now to be understood if the mission of the Harbour Authority maintains the characteristics of being listening and synthesis of the interests that in the port operate or if they prevail logical of considered general interest extraterritorial, matured on the base of experiences and personal convincements".

"I would want to remember - it has concluded Bucchioni - than the port break is always successful to recut its important space in the competition with near ports, very more supported politically and infrastructurally, because it has known to develop the just synergies between its several members, and the assertion of the merits has always constituted the bench mark of the promotion of the Harbour Authority. The topic today on the carpet constitutes therefore the occasion in order to make the point on the positions of everyone and for this I have demanded to the president of the Harbour Authority a specific debate in Harbour Committee".
