The regional council of the Sardinia has approved of with 49 favorable ballots and an abstainer an agenda undersigned from all the group leaders whom the committee engages to put in existence all the finalized actions and instruments to avoid the privatization total of the service and the management of currently operated the infraregional marine transport from the Saremar, company of entire property of the Sardinia Region, and/or to maintain the property public. Moreover the agenda engages the regional committee to communicate all officially own relative actions to the topic to the government and to the EU commission, to open a table of I confront with the national government with all the parliamentarians and Sardinian europarlamentari, to for research purposes start the public procedures of the private partner, to program and to return a solution of protection of all the currently active places of work operating and to institute an appropriate organism of control in which they are you anticipate also the representatives of the interested local communities.
Illustrating the content of the agenda, the first signer of the motion, the councilman of Sel Luca Pizzuto, it has travelled over again the main stages of the event of the Saremar, society of the Region that assures the right to mobility of beyond 17.000 people between Carloforte and La Maddalena, with about 270 total attache's, - it has remembered - now unfortunately near the failure and limited in its action from a norm that, to unchanged law, returns the privatization ineluctable. Draft but of a choice - it has observed Pizzuto - "than in other contexts has not produced turned out, blocking the services or determining devastating situations for workers and users to the point of pushing many communities to ask the return public form". To warning of the councilman of Sel, joints to this point "it is necessary to work around to a project of public or mixed management but to public majority that, through the modification of the enforced norm, comprises also the insertion of social clauses, to protection of the service and above all of the workers".
In the course of the debate president of the Commission Trasporti, Antonio Solinas (Pd), has remembered that from on December 31, 2015 Saremar he will not exist more. "The objective that we must reach - has agreed - it is that to guarantee the right to mobility to the residents of Carloforte and La Maddalena and to the tourists whom they want to reach the two islands. It is ours it must write sure rules for the future that are respected and can be verified anytime. Inside these rules he must be put to the first place the safeguard of the 180 places of job of the Saremar". The president of the Fourth Commission of the regional council has then made a short one excursus on the event of the marine company: "the problems - it has remembered - go ahead over recent years. From the 2012 Saremar 50 million euros to the Sardinian citizens have cost, today are the requirement to safeguard the contribution anniversary of the Been about to one to guarantee the transport towards the smaller islands". Solinas, at last, has been said convinced of the necessity to characterize a new model of management for the marine companies: "the European norm does not approve of the public management; a mixed form - it has found - can be the better solution".
In its participation the regional city council member to the Transports, Massimo Deiana, has specified "that she is spoken about privatization, but in reality would have to be spoken about cession of a control package of the society. The transport service - it has specified - in reality is public and therefore it cannot be privatizable, because it is supported with public resources. Therefore, the topic of our argument would have to be this: which capitulated have to be given would the Sardinia for the connection with the smaller islands? We are working a lot on this topic, asking the local communities to collect the requirements of those citizens so as to hold of account in our job. And those communities then will be represented in the monitoring committee. We - he has concluded the city council member - will entrust the service, in order to prevent that the service is denied. And any communitarian, public or private shipowner, will be able to participate to the contest".
