Uiltrasporti, the rivisitazione of the International Registry places of the strongly worrisome question marks on the future of 1.500 marine Italians



Uiltrasporti nozzle an alarm for the consequences on the places of work of the marine Italians of the approval of tuesday by the Senate of the bill n. 2228, in particular of the approval, with 189 favorable ballots, two contrarys: and 20 abstainers, of the amendment n. 18.202 to article 18 on the determination of the tax basis for some marine enterprises that are introduced of the reporter Roberto Cociancich ( of 11 May 2016).

According to the union, the bill for the reform of the complex normative picture of the Italian marineria "with the rivisitazione of the International Registry places of the strongly worrisome question marks on the future of about 1.500 marine Italians who navigate currently on ferry boats ro-ro and ro-pax used after commercial traffics between ports pertaining to the national, continental and/or insulare territory, also to continuation or previously of a coming from or directed travel towards another State".

"It is opportune to remember to all - national secretariat UILT in a note explains - than the system of the marine transport is not totally liberalized globalizzato solo but also, without precise rules and wage and contractual social clauses in order to avoid dumping goods in foreign market. This means that constraints do not exist or restrictions for every single shipowner that impose to the same one to choose a specific flag and this are worth partially also for the national cabotage. The "right of plant" - the labor organization specifies moreover - affords to every shipowner the freedom to change flag and therefore to create the premises in order to embark all non-EU citizens in fact, excluding the marine Italians already occupied".

"Come Uiltrasporti - the note continues - we ask guarantees for these workers, we would not want that in order to create new occupation of marine Italians it was made to lose the job to the 1,500 Italians who already operate on ships enrolled in International Registry. Whoever today displays as a great victory the approval of the amendments in order to modify law 30/98 says us as it intends to safeguard these 1,500 marine ones that could lose own place of work. Whoever on the contrary thinks that changing the norm of the fiscal incentives, she will see in all the future traffics ro-ro and ro-pax an increase of Italian and communitarian crews, perhaps does not know still well the meaning of the word liberalization and the contrary effects that could be had in occupational terms".

"For this - the national secretariat Uiltrasporti concludes - we restate newly that it does not convene to repeal in part to politics the management of the rules of an important field, as that marine one, but that on the contrary serves to open a table immediately of confronts with all the actors of the marine cluster in order to characterize the instruments that can generate a real increase of the Italian marine occupation".
