TO SEEM APPROVED OF FROM THE COMMISSION
ON THE ACTION OF THE GOVERNMENT N. 303

8the Commission Public works, communications, examined the outline of I decree legislative bringing reorganization, rationalization and simplification of the concerning discipline the harbour authorities of which to the 28 law January 1994, n. 84 (n. 303),

premised that:

- the provision under investigation is managed on the base of the delegation in matter of reorganization of the administration of the contained State in article 8 of the law n. 124 of 2015 that, to codicil 1, letter f), between the directive principles and criteria have previewed also the "reorganization, rationalization and simplification of the concerning discipline the harbour Authorities of which to the 28 law January 1994, n. 84, with particular reference to the number, the location of Authority of system let alone to the governance, taking into consideration the role of the E regions the local authorities and to the simplification and unification of the customs and administrative procedures in matter of ports";

- the outline under investigation proceeds therefore to an update of the law n. 84 of 1994 that, in coherence with previewed how much in the national Plan of the portualità and the logistics approved of in the summer of 2015, redesigns the general order of the Italian harbour system in the attempt to exceed of the fragmentation and to transform it in the point of force of a modern and efficient national system of organization and government of the portualità and the logistics, passing from a dimension tendentially "monoport of call" to tendentially "pluriscalo";

- in particular, the amalgamation of the 24 existing harbour Authorities is previewed through the institution of 15 Authorities of harbour system (AdSP), that they will coordinate with of 54 ports and will have center in the central ports of the transeuropee nets of transport, defined Core from the European norm (Regulations (EU) n. 1315/2013);

- the Authorities of harbour system, characterized as only administrative centers, will have functions of coordination regarding all the public administrations having competence on the activities to realize in the harbour within and will absorb all the functions of promotion, planning, management and control today attributed to the harbour Authorities;

- in parallel with the concentration of the competences, with the provision under investigation they agree to introduce elements of simplification of the connected administrative implementations to the development of the harbour activities, through the implementation of the "customs only Door and the controls" for all relative the administrative implementations to the goods, the strengthening of the valence of the town development plan of harbour system, the simplification of the organizational and decisional structure of the Authorities of harbour system;
considered that:

- the general lines of the aforesaid reform are wide condivisibili and must therefore be proceeded promptly to their performance, also for finally giving to answer to the coming requests from the several subjects private publics and of the marine-harbour cluster, exceeding the situation of fragmentation, weakness and uncertainty that the field has up to now marked;

- to the aim to favor I throw again and the development of the ports, facilitating the realization of the indispensable investments of structural adaptation, is necessary to introduce elements of simplification and rationalization of the procedures for the approval of the harbour town development plans that, safeguarding I confront between the various levels of government, allow however to exceed the accumulated delays and inefficiencies in these years, being reaffirmed the specificity of the harbour town development plans regarding general the town-planning instruments;

- it appears necessary to favor the constitution in fast times of the new Authorities of harbour system and the nomination of the respective presidents, in order to place end to the commissariali managements that interest numerous national ports of call restoring so, in the short term, the conditions of full operating operation and, in mean-along term, placing the bases for I throw again total of the Italian harbour system, through the acquisition of new professionalities and competences on the home market and ancheeuropeo;

- at the same time, it is necessary to hold in the just consideration peculiar administrative and operating requirements of character that can be manifested in some ports, allowing, against motivated demanded of the Regions, a consistent term of delay for the start of the new system in the interested ports of call, holding however account of the opinion expressed in merit from the Council of State and of the necessities already recalled of performance of the reform;
found that:

- the Italian harbour truth, for geographic reasons, historical and economic, is anticipated much articulated and diversified; therefore, a reform that intends to throw again in adequate way the field of the national portualità must necessarily set as objective the creation of a “system of harbour systems”, to the aim of contemperare, on one side, the objective to guarantee a common normative and regolatoria frame and an only strategic address in matter and, from the other, the requirement not to suffocate but to exalt the vocations of the single ports of call and the territories in which they join, to the aim to return the really competitive system regarding the international competition, also through a progressive bestowal to the Authorities of harbour system of elements of fiscal autonomy and financial institution;

- he is the pertantoessenziale to finally facilitate integration between the harbour systems and total national logistic and trasportistica chain, consolidating and upgrading the intermodal connections between the ports, retroporti and interposing to you, in a stiff logic to value the potentialities and the synergies of the regional and local territories. Al fine to favor such processes, appears therefore useful to restate in more explicit way the requirement than connection and of synergy between the various levels of state and peripheral government, it is on the legal plan that application;

- from the legal point of view, to light also than previewed in the norm of the proxy law previously recalled, in the outline of I decree is necessary to take into consideration the role and of the attributions of the regions with ordinary statute and, in particular, of that with special statute, than in the current constitutional order they have in the harbour matters a concurrent competence with the State;

- from the application point of view, in defining the territorial withins of the new Authorities of harbour system, the outline of I decree does not seem to consider appropriately some important situations of local character. In the first instance, in administrative divisions of the new Authorities more some ports are not included that already were inserted in the precedence harbour Authorities: without such inclusion, these ports of call are but destined to an unavoidable decline, with serious prejudice for the local communities;

- in the second place, in new administrative divisions of the Authorities, some ports, characterized lack as nodes of the total transeuropea net (comprehensive) of transport TRY. Draft generally of regional ports, on which the State does not have competence: he would be but favorable that the State and the interested Regions promuovessero, according to the procedure previewed from article 6, codicil 16, of the law n. 84 of 1994, as modified from the outline under investigation, their insertion in the territory of the Authorities of harbour system;

- parimenti, for the located ports of national interest near chief towns of province but that they are not centers of harbour Authorities, an adapted representation in the Committee of management of an Authority of harbour system, neither the institution of a peripheral administrative office of the same Authority has not been previewed neither, with the risk to create serious problems of coordination between the various institutional subjects and of administrative operation for the ports of call;

- in more general terms, in all the ricompresi ports in administrative divisions of the Authorities of harbour system that are not center of harbour Authority, it turns out however essential to preview the possibility to assure the presence of the decentralized administrative garrison, also minimal, of the new Authorities, so that the harbour enterprises and workers have a direct interface for the processing of practical administrative the more urgent and the fast resolution of the operating problems that are produced in the daily activity of the ports;

- in such context, it is necessary to better specify the competences attributed to the harbour territorial offices, also on the base of the reliefs formulated in the opinion of the Council of State and strengthening the power of delegation and address of the Committee of management and the other organs of the Authority of harbour system;

- the forecast inserted in the outline appears in any case much opportune of decrees to article 6 under investigation, codicil 15, of the law n. 84, relatively to the possibility, passed three years from of effectiveness of the provision, to ulteriorly reduce the number of the Authorities of harbour system, estimated the interactions between the logistic platforms and the volumes of traffic. Some regions that, also having more than an Authority than harbour system on their territory, could in times verosimilmente breviums meet in an only logistic platform, so justifying the amalgamation of the Authorities, in a same region or also between various regions exist in fact;

- in the harbour within they operate a pluralità of subjects private publics and, bearers of requests and interests legitimize, but often variegated and opposed, that they have provoked often in Italy overlaps and conflicts, with a total loss of competitiveness of the system. Therefore the requirement to introduce forms more effective has been made pressing during the last few years than connection and strategic address, not only on a national level, but also inside of the single harbour contexts;

- the disposition of article 8 of the provision, under investigation stiff appears therefore appreciable to the strengthening of the powers of coordination of the harbour Authorities of system regarding the various operating administrative agencies in the ports and to the consequent centralization near of they of the functions of promotion, planning, management and control already attributed to the harbour Authorities. At the same time, it is necessary to guarantee, in an approach of loyal collaboration between the various institutions of the State, the safeguard of the role of the other public administrations to which the European and national legislation entrusts detailed lists competences in harbour field;

- in this context, it is necessary to in the first instance evidence the callback to the respect of the deliberations of the Authority of regulation of the transports inserted in article 8, codicil 3, letter n), of the law n. 84 of 1994, as reformulated from article 8 of the outline of I decree under investigation, in ossequio to the specific functions entrusted to the Authority from article 37 of the decree-law n. 201 of the 2011 (norm that would have to be recalled also in the premises of the outline), for how much it concerns to the guarantee of fair and not discriminatory access to railway infrastructures, harbour, under investigation airport and to the highway nets;

- the simplification operated from article 18 of the outline is moreover deserving of particular appreciation of decrees, that it institutes the customs only Door and of the controls under the aegis of the Agency of customs, to which they are attributed, besides the tasks already entrusted to the customs only Door, also to the relative competence and controls to all the implementations connected to the income and expenditure of the goods in or from the national territory, let alone the coordination on all the disposed procedures in such within from other administrations or organs of the State (except those having from the Judicial authority or carried out from the police or safety forces). Al fine to guarantee the correct exercise of such coordination and to avoid potential overlaps and application uncertainties, could however opportune being specify that the specific functions of coordination attributed by article 18 to the only Door (and therefore to the Agency of customs) remains excluded from the coordination entrusted to the Authority of harbour system from cited article 8 of the outline, stops remaining the requirement of a grip synergy between the two administrations, species to the aim to adopt the organizational solutions more profits to guarantee a efficient operation of the single harbour ports of call;

- with reference to the legal regime of the staff of the Authorities of harbour system, it is necessary to conciliate the nature of public body of the Authority, with the necessary elements of operating flexibility that has up to now marked the activity of such staff and that the experience has demonstrated to be indispensable for a correct development of the entrusted tasks. This also to the aim to remove those elements of “not solvable antinomy on the interpretative plan” evidenced from the Council of State in the opinion returned on the outline of I decree under investigation legislative;

- to such fine, it would have to be maintained not the applicabilità of the law n. 70 of 1975, while the callback to the applicabilità of I decree legislative n. 165 of 2001 inserted from the outline in article 6, codicil 5, of the law n. 84 of 1994 would have to be limited to the dispositions express recalled in the same law and to the principles and objectives of good course, impartiality, transparency and economization. In such a way, the antinomy found in the cited one would be resolved also to seem of the Council of State, being profitable new codicil 5 of compatible article 6 with codicil 6 of article 10 of the same law n. 84, that it asserts that the relationship of job of the staff of the Authorities by right private and is regulated by the civil code and the laws on the relationships of job subordinated in the enterprise;

- always with reference to the staff of the Authorities of harbour system, if of the amalgamation of two or more harbour Authority, it is necessary to preview a distance of convergence for the harmonization, in times breviums, of the dealings of II level of i employees from the accorpate Authorities, let alone for the fixation of the relative general criteria;

- for how much it concerns some specific functions attributed to the Authorities of harbour system (those of which to article 6, codicil 4, letters b) and c), of the law n. 84), it is necessary to restate that the exercise of the same ones can be entrusted exclusively by means of procedure to public evidence, according to the new Code of the contracts (I decree legislative n. 50 of 2016);

- in purpose, also not re-entering specifically between the dispositions from the provision under investigation, but be a matter themselves however of closely connected matter and taking into consideration the recent jurisprudence of the Council of State, it appears opportune that also the confidence in concession of the state property areas and the docks comprised in the harbour within, of which to article 18 of the law n. 84 of 1994, happen exclusively by means of procedures of contest to public evidence, in compliance with the discipline of the European Union;

- on the escort of the experience matured in these years, the choice of the outline appears completely condivisibile of decrees to restate, in rigorous terms, the prohibition for the Authorities of harbour system to assume participation in society for the development of harbour operations and activity to closely connected they. However, it is equally necessary to maintain the possibility for the Authorities, through social participation of minority, to concur to stiff initiatives to promote the realization of logistic and intermodal connections, for the benefit of the harbour system, according to article 46 of the decree-law n. 201 of 2011;

- the simplification proposed in the provision for the nominations of the President of the Authority of harbour system appears under investigation condivisibile, by means of the understanding of the Minister of infrastructures and the transports with the President or the Presidents of the interested regions, maintaining however the application, for how much he concerns the nomination procedures, of the previewed general discipline from the law n. 14 of 1978;

- in relation to the powers of decree attributed to the President of the Authority of harbour system, to the aim to face in sent way possible situations of emergency, it appears opportune not to subordinate the exercise of such powers to the pre-emptive consultation with the Committee of management, that it would have to be however informed to the first useful reunion;

- for how much it concerns the Committee of management, to the aim to avoid interpretative ambiguities, the forecast of the prevalence of the ballot of the President of the harbour Authority must operate in case of parity of the express ballots and not be reported to the number pairs of the members or voting;

- with reference to the figure of the General secretary, the new connotation as monocratic organ and not more single one as leader in charge of the technical-operating secretariat risks to inside create a imbalance of powers and competences of the Authority of harbour system, with potential overlaps with the figure of the President. It appears therefore opportune to maintain the current structure organizational of the general Secretariat, being given the role of apex leader of the administrative structure of the Authority attributed to the General secretary;

- it is indispensable that the Table (than, to light of the opinion of the Council of State, it must be more exactly called “Conference”) national of coordination of the Authorities of harbour system is presided directly by the Minister of infrastructures and the transports, be a matter itself of the center in which the choices of strategic address of the harbour system are determined, for example in matter of investments and allocations of resources, that they necessarily presuppose a power of coordination and an assumption of political responsibility to the maximum level. Moreover, to the aim to guarantee the continuity of operation of the Conference, ravvisa the opportunity to institute also a technical secretariat of support, to which an endowed subject of suitable competence would have to be preplace, let alone to preview the collaboration, under gratuitous title, of the unitary representation of the Authorities of harbour system with the Conference;

- for specular reasons, it is opportune to allow the participation with the Table of national coordination also of representative the datoriali and trade-union organizations of national level of the harbour marine cluster (with detail with regard to the representations of the effectively and directly operating categories in port). Al fine to value their contribution, the several organizations can be invited from time to time in relation to the competence on the arguments on the agenda;

- in order to value and to strengthen the propositivo and advisory role of the Table (than, to light of the opinion of the Council of State, it must be more exactly called “Organism”) of partnership of the resource sea, appears opportune to list in articulater and punctual way the members - considering also of the categories currently represented in the Comitali harbour of the harbour Authorities - and to preview express that, on all the actions subordinates to its consultation, are in ascending phase that descendant, the Table expresses himself by means of not binding opinions required but;

- the “dual system” of government of the ports designed from article 14, codicil 1, of the law n. 84 of 1994, based on the division of the competences (and on the collaboration) between harbour Authority and marine Authority have had great merits for the development of the Italian harbour system, but in its practical application also a series of limits and uncertainties has shown that would demand a clarification and a better specification of the mutual competences of the two Authorities. Draft but of a much complex issue, that it demands a wide reflection, to light also of the consolidated international praxis and in particular of the European norm and the jurisprudence;

- the outline under investigation, however, taking part on a within much specific one and very delimited, more does not constitute the adapted center for such appraisals. Consequently, it appears opportune not to take part in this phase on the enforced discipline of cited article 14, codicil 1, of the law n. 84 and to suppress therefore the modifications introduced with regard to from the outline under investigation;
taken into consideration the acquired informative elements in the course of the auditions carried out with the main subjects private publics and of the marine cluster and with the Minister of infrastructures and the transports;
