Not decided of the harbour communities of Salerno and Savona to the hypothesis of amalgamation to the Harbour Authorities of Naples and Genoa



Today trade associations of the ports of Salerno and Savona, in a combined note sent to the Prime Minister of the ministers, to the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports and to the presidents of the Regions Campania and Liguria, have restated "own firm one and which convinced opposition to the hypothesis of amalgamation of own ports to the Harbour Authorities of Naples and Genoa, because - the organizations explain representatives of the salernitana and savonese harbour communities - that of the amalgamations is a useless choice, harmful and insignificant regarding the solution of the true problems of the Italian portualità and regarding the elaboration of one integrated system of portualità and logistics".

The two harbour communities have exhorted to throw again of the proposal of the legislation in wide, high and organic harbour matter towards "a very more slowly strategic one" that - specifies - "points to the realization of: a single National Authority of the Logistics and the Portualità or, in alternative, of six Authority of System of the Portualità and the Logistics (North East, North the West, East South, South the West, Sicily, Sardinia), able to realize a true integration between the members of the system of the transports and the logistics, in order to return our country in the interchange with the markets of the world altogether more competitive. Various - trade associations emphasize - the harbour communities of Salerno and Savona demand the autonomy of own Authority, so as guaranteed to others 14 or 15 ports of the country, many of which very smaller importance".

In the document the two harbour communities find moreover that "the amalgamations nothing have to that to see with the solution of the problems of the Italian portualità, risking, indeed, of having effects negatives. Although the ports of Salerno and Savona are between the main ones and more dynamic harbour truths of the Country - they observe - their amalgamations continue to being introduced with much superficiality. Sottace that argument would be put some in series, to beyond the words of circumstance, the efficiency, the ability to answer at the market, the competitiveness, the extraordinary increase and the demonstrated administrative excellence in many years of operosa activity, that it has seen put in field - with generosity - the sacrifices and the strong, tenacious engagement and coeso of local work force, enterprises and institutions".
