June 18, 2015
With an unusual decision, dictated probably from the urgency to resolve the situation, the Italian government has announced to the unions that, to light of the announced one put in liquidation of the Taranto Container Terminal (TCT), the society participated from the groups Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH), Evergreen Marine Corporation and Maneschi that the terminal for containers of the port of Taranto manages, and the next day of the shipment of letters of mass in mobility for the 536 workers of TCT, "will be given immediate start to an operation of scouting to the aim speeding up interest manifestations.
The road, therefore, is not that of the revocation of the concession and a new contest. The objective indicated from the undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council, Claudio De Vincenti - the executive has explained - is that of "a newco with operators who are on the market, eventually also with a presence of subjects in public participation". "The auspice - it has specified the government - is to conclude within the 75 days of the mobility procedure".
While the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Graziano Delrio, has asked Luigi Merlo to reconsider the decision to discharge himself from president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa, resignation that Merlon had introduced because its wife Raffaella Paita was candidated to the presidency of the Liguria Region, charge that is assigned to exited Giovanni Toti wins from the elections. "As it very will know - the minister to Merlon has written - the process of reform of the national portualità is by now in conclusive phase. To govern the passage from the "old one" to the "new one" without to bring prejudices to the articulate mechanism of the harbour system will be therefore priority task for who, as she, it is called to assume the delicate role to supervise to complex public buildings". In the Delrio letter one has appealed to the fact that "the elevated professionality, the sensibility and vicinity to the requirements of the territory already demonstrated, can induce it to accompany the Harbour Authority of Genoa towards the new scenes, receding from the choice to discharge itself from its assignment".
