Pappalardo (Federagenti): the game that is played on the ports cannot be only political



The destiny of the Italian ports cannot be left exclusively in the hands of politics. It has emphasized today outgoing president of the National Federation Agenti, Raccomandatari Marine and Mediating Marine (Federagenti), Michele Pappalardo, in the course of the assembly of the organization in course to Trapani in occasion of which, being reached at the end of its mandate, the choral acknowledgment of the role has passed the testimony to Gian Enzo Duci embedding that it has carried out in these years.

Commendando the project of the government for the reform of the legislation in harbour matter, Pappalardo has been stopped initially on the nomination of the presidents of the Harbour Authorities evidencing that "it cannot and does not have to answer to a new Cencelli manual" and on the previewed amalgamations of the harbour authorities with the constitution of the Authorities of Harbour System: "today to Trapani - it has found - we are conscious here not to be able to wind down the guard. And not on the amalgamations and their necessity, the end of the Harbour Committees and therefore of our ouster from the decisive policies and more, but especially because the game that is played cannot be only a political game. At stake – Pappalardo has explained - not there is a crash between powers that has for protagonists government and Regions. At stake, let us not forget it, there is the future of the Italian ports and therefore the ability to make of the ports and the logistics an added value and not a disvalore for the Country".

"A fatal error - it has continued Pappalardo - would be that to immolate newly the ports to the interests of politics being chosen mistaken presidents, yields of logical of partition old and new or of an improvisation also sometimes only identifying daughter of slogan. And we say with force perhaps that you damn put up of the wrong choices could produce politics of the dismissals".

From part its new ones which elected president of Federagenti, Gian Enzo Duci, has express "great confidence on minister Delrio and its team", confidence that - it has emphasized - has found confirmation in the convocation of Federagenti already for next tuesday to the ministry in order to discuss role and functions about the Table of partnership in the newborns Authority of Harbour System, but also in the acknowledgment of the role of the shipping agents - as official notice from the general manager of the Enrico Pujia ministry - in Maritime the Italian formulation of the Labour Convention.

In its Luigi Merlo participation, councilman of the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Graziano Delrio, has announced that within and beyond on 17 July I do not decree on the ports will be fired by the five competent Parliamentary commissions in matter and that successively will be proceeded immediately to the nomination of the 15 presidents, the 15 general secretaries and of beyond 70 members of the organs of government of the new Authorities of Harbour System. But the reform - it has specified Merlon - will be only a first step of a process of participation in the field of the logistics and the ports, with provisions that will regard the Table of partnership, than will take care of the choices and not of the administrative procedures, the reform of the job in the ports, the limitation of the responsibility of the pilots and the cruise-Venice case.
