positive Reactions to the passage in Council of Ministers of I decree on the reorganization of the Italian harbour administration



Between the various today's comments to the passage yesterday in Council of Ministers of I decree legislative on the reorganization of the Italian harbour administration ( on 21 January 2016), Nereo Marcucci, president of Confetra - General Confederation Italiana of the Transports and the Logistics, has emphasized that with such action the government "adds another dowel to those which we have appreciated in this last year: punctual participations - it has explained - in situations of crisis as to Taranto and Gioia Tauro and participations for the re-balance between the various modalities of transport with adapted investments in railway infrastructures and norms support as the Marebonus and the Ferrobonus. With the contents of I decree legislative - it has found Marcucci - go one step further the reorganization (obligatory) of the administrations involved in the import and the export of the goods with the functional unification of the 17 main administrations involved and the creation in every Authority of System of the administrative only door for all the commercial various activities from those and industrial ones of the port. The table of partnership for every AdS - it has continued the president of Confetra - guarantees to the operators the possibility to give own contribution to the harbour management, so as the Table of national Coordination of the Authorities of System near the MIT will afford to finance second logical the infrastructural investments of market, but avoiding - seen the team of the organism - a lot feared "centralization" in damage of the accorpati ports. I consider - it has concluded Marcucci - can be acknowledged that minister Del Rio moves coherently to the objective of giving to a Country as ours, that we would want remained manifacturing but that does not have raw materials, a represented indispensable asset from the ports and adapted logistic systems".

For Silvia Velo, State undersecretary to the Atmosphere, "I decree of reform of the Italian portualità is a great occasion for the development and the increase of the blue economy, a fundamental asset for the economy of our Country. A package, that introduced from minister Delrio - it has observed - of rationalizations, simplifications, measures for I throw again of the logistic-harbour section that place to the center of the action of government the resource sea. Also the Ministry of the Atmosphere - it has remembered Veil - has made its part with a series of operating normative modifications that will help through the technical difficulties and that are found in these years in the realization of the works of dredging in the ports, defining once and for all a prescribed picture clearly in matter. A job in tune with I decree approved of from the Council of Ministers, that it has as objective the increase of the Italian harbour system without to minimally carve the protection and the safeguard of the sea and the atmosphere".

Also according to the president of the Harbour Authority of Venice, Paolo Costa, "the reform of the ports of Minister Delrio are a good beginning. He has, in fact - he has specified - the great merit to put the harbour issue to the center of the debate on the development of the country and to open, I hope, a season of more and more incisive reforms in the field. The final objective - it has emphasized Coast - must be that to reduce the differences between the prices to the production or the import and the market prices of the assets (produced or consumed) in Italy, differences in which great part of inefficiencies estimated in almost 42 billion euros hides also year. In order to continue - Coast considers - it will be necessary to act because the Authorities of System are coordinated in order to return every marine root of the European corridors more competitive; in order to favor integration of it arches and nodes long the various logistic chains and in order to favor the income of new innovating operators and dimension adapted to the international competition. They will serve important infrastructural choices that they will have to be imprinted to an adaptation of the ability to the ports and geometry of the street, railway net and of inland navigation that them servants, in way such to let out all the infrastructural system from its backwardness and of its current inability serve the traffics long the lines of the minimal distance. This - it has specified the president of the harbour agency of Venice - is worth also if of the Authority of system of the northern Adriatic (Venice and Chioggia) that it allows to imagine to realize since quickly to Chioggia according to onshore of the height platform in order then to increase itself until to take advantage of the potentialities of Port East and of the energetic pole of Port I turn, but also of the terminals of inland navigation towards Padua and Mantua. With of abilities not only harbour that can make of this system one of the mainly suitable instruments to serve the requirements of the Country. All then, it goes considered within an Alto Adriatico system that, with Ravenna and Trieste, will have to find the way to cooperate also with Koper and Fiume in order to return more and more this sea the privileged European outlet of the traffics from and for beyond Suez as well as from the Mediterranean oriental".

Of positive sign also the comment of the general secretary of the Uiltrasporti: "waiting for viewing the text of I decree approved of from the Council of Ministers on the reorganization and simplification of the Harbour Authorities - Claudio Tarlazzi has declared - as Uiltrasporti we express a maximum appreciation on the objectives hinge, restating, but, than the contents of this provision they will have to become a member articulater slowly general of the transports and the logistics, so as he will have to be previewed an ulterior provision that he disciplines to the organization of the harbour job in coherence with such objectives, safeguarding the protection of the workers and the centrality of the structured harbour enterprise for traffic volumes". "Who thinks that pack-saddles to pass from 24 to 15 Harbour Authorities in order to return our mainly competitive and attractive ports, of the volumes of goods that journeys in the Mediterranean and that today bypassano Italy - has admonished Tarlazzi - is mistaken. I decree approved of it does not have to be considered a project of aggregations to cold, but a program for the realization of harbour systems to whose inside policies are developed and sets in action sinergiche between the ports and the entire logistic chain. Finally - it has added general secretary UILT - ports and logistics are considered strategic and device driver for the development of the Country. Fundamental it will be the simplification and sburocratizzazione of the administrative processes and control to the goods, as fundamental it will be to develop to planning and realization of the works for specialized vocation of the ports inside these systems abandoning localistici interests".
