Approved of in definitive way I decree legislative on the new governance of the Italian portualità



Yesterday the government has approved of in definitive way decrees legislative of "Reorganization, rationalization and simplification of the Harbour Authorities", introduced from minister for the Simplification and Public Administration Amministrazione, Marianna Madia, and of simplification of the procedures inside of the ports. "They are - it has emphasized the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Graziano Delrio - two important provisions a lot: on one side a very important simplification, with the Agency of Customs that inside of the ports assumes also all the other administrative provisions with the Only Door of the controls, than therefore becomes - in the spirit of the "reform Kneading trough" - a door that assembles all the administrative procedures and it simplifies them". From here - it has evidenced Delrio - "more possibility for the enterprises, more possibility for our ports to become motor indeed of economic development. It is therefore a reform that aimed to return the "system sea" more able than to promote occupation and economic development in a strongly competitive system".

The minister has explained that "from the other side there is the simplification of the governance: from the 57 ports of national interest - he has specified Delrio - he passes himself to 15 Harbour Authorities; the board of directors (called Committee of management, ndr) is reduced to little units, three or five units regarding the 22-23 members of the former Harbour Committees that therefore determined also conflicts of interest obviously because they were all sat to this table, but above all - on the model of the best nordeuropei ports - it creates exactly a board of directors di with wide faculties and rapidity of decision".

"In this I decree - it has continued the minister - is emphasized a strong centralization of the coordination: we try to coordinate more the potential investments, to make so that the competition between near territorial systems is avoided instead little kilometers and circles, as "system Country", to on hand offer Italy as a great pier in the south of the Mediterranean, with co-ordinate policies of investments and therefore with a cooperation between the systems, a cooperation that are from the side of the portualità and the side of the logistics, tant'è true that the Authorities will call Authority of Harbour System, because we want that the port of Genoa and Savona becomes the port of Switzerland and the south of Germany. Already we have made agreements and we are making agreements and we want that the ports of the Adriatic north enliven the goods of Austria and all the East Europe. Therefore - it has concluded Delrio - there is the ambition to take advantage of our geographic position in order to promote the economic development".

I decree approved of from the Council of Ministers confirmation the 15 Authorities of Harbour System (AdSP) defined in the last version of the legislative provision, with centers in the defined ports "Core" second the European norm, that is the AdSP of the Ligurian Sea Western (ports of Genoa, Savona and Vado Ligure), of the Ligurian Sea Oriental (ports of La Spezia and Marina di Carrara), of the Tyrrhenian Sea Northern (ports of Livorno, Capraia, Piombino, Portoferraio, and Rio Marina and Cavo), of the Center-Northerner Tyrrhenian Sea (ports of Civitavecchia, Fiumicino and Gaeta), of the Tyrrhenian Sea Headquarters (ports of Naples, Salerno and Castellammare di Stabia), of Mari Tirreno Meridionale, Jonio and of the Strait (ports of Gioia Tauro, Crotone [old and new port], Corigliano Calabro, Taureana of Palmi, Villa San Giovanni, Messina, Milazzo, Tremestieri, Vibo Valentia and Reggio Calabria), of Mare Di Sardegna (ports of Cagliari, Foxi-Sarroch, Olbia, Porto Torres, Golfo Aranci, Oristano, Portoscuso-Portovesme and Santa Teresa di Gallura [only commercial dock]), of the Sea of Western Sicily (ports of Palermo, Termini Imerese, Porto Empedocle and Trapani), of the Sea of Sicily Oriental (ports of Augusta and Catania), Mare Adriatico Meridionale (ports of Bari, Brindisi, Manfredonia, Barletta and Monopolies), of the Ionian Sea (port of Taranto), of Mare Adriatico Centrale (ports of Ancona, Falconara, Pescara, Pesaro, San Benedetto del Tronto [excluded tourist dock] and Ortona), of Mare Adriatico Centro-Settentrionale (port of Ravenna), of Mare Adriatico Settentrionale (ports of Venice and Chioggia) and of Mare Adriatico Orientale (ports of Trieste and Monfalcone).

Alle 15 Authorities of Harbour System is entrusted a strategic role of address, programming and coordination of the system of the ports of own area and functions of attraction of the investments on the various ports of call and of connection of the public administrations. The Authorities of Harbour System will have to their inside two only doors. The Regions can ask the insertion in the Authorities for System of ulterior ports of regional importance.

I decree previews that the Committee of management of the Authorities of Harbour System is guided by a president manager, of proven experience in the economy of the transports and harbour and with wide decisional powers. The president will come chosen from minister of Infrastructures and the Transports of understanding with the Region or Regioni interested from the Authority of System.

Regarding the precedence Harbour Committees, the representatives of the operators and the enterprises will take part, instead, of the "Organisms of Partnership of the Resource Sea" with advisory functions: they will be able to participate to the decisional process, but they will not be able more to vote administrative actions.

With the scope to guarantee the coherence with the national strategy, I decree to confirmation the institution of a "national of coordination of the Authorities of Harbour System", institutionalized and presided Conference from the minister, to the aim to define a national programming of the strategic and infrastructural choices and national a harbour Town development plan.

As for the bureaucratic simplification, I decree previews, regarding current the 113 carried out administrative procedures from 23 subjects, the institution of two Doors with the objective to wind down the times of wait drastically. They are the Unico Doganale Door for the Control on the goods, instituted on the base of the simplifications introduced from the Agency of Customs, and the Unico Amministrativo Door for all the other procedures and productive other asset in port not exclusively commercial.

Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti have plaudito to the launch of the provision of reform of the governance harbour: "the provision, containing also important aspects for the labor organizations which the active participation to the decisional mechanisms - they have found the three unions - contains instruments in a position to aligning to us to the advance Countries supporting the actions of development, necessary increase and competitiveness to I throw again of the Italian harbour system". According to Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti, "to avoid ulterior and harmful sfilacciature in our national trasportistico system are the objective primary for reaching and the reform in system optical could have such potentialities".

The three labor organizations have emphasized that "now, as first action, minister Delrio will have to name the 15 presidents of the AdSP new letting out from the sand banks the Italian portualità that give too many years have continued to run aground in commissariamenti that have been a damage for various ports of call, being made us to lose in competitiveness".

Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl and Uiltrasporti have specified that this provision constitutes but only a first step - "after the governance - has specified - it is necessary to continue on the way traced from the PSNPL (Strategic Slowly National Ports and Logistics) adopted from the government. Now it is urgent to continue I confront on the harbour job in order to throw again specialty, specificity and professionality, characteristics on which the efficiency and the competitiveness of our ports of call with a particular look to safety melt. In so far as the table of I confront with the social parts the Ministry of Infrastructures and Transports - they have observed - will have formally to be started in order to define eventual modifications to the current orders, also in relation to the evolution of the harbour job, and considered the necessary qualification and specialization of the workers, also under the profile of the access to the forecasts of law in matter of wearing work".

Also for the Association of the Italian Ports (Assoporti), organization that represents the current Harbour Authorities, with the provision fired from the Council of Ministers is completed "the first fundamental step of a reform of the portualità", and is this in itself - it has emphasized the president of Assoporti, Pasqualino Monti - a news of enormous political meaning and great perspectives. To move an administrative and normative car stops gives beyond twenty years - it has added - is equivalent to move a hard sandstone. Now we, administrators and operators will be up to all, to prevent that to the project arrest warrants to the first difficulties and goals instead those results of efficiency and productivity that are essential not only for the logistic system and harbour Italian, but for the entire economy of the Country. The Italian ports and Assoporti - it has concluded Monti - are called therefore to a effort unprecedented of support and intelligent support to the action of the government and the Parliament”.

The National Federation Agents, Raccomandatari Marine and Mediating Marine (Federagenti) has manifested “satisfaction for the approval of hard decrees that it marks the start of the reform of the ports”, but also “worry for the insistent voices with regard to a dismissal in the choice of the presidents that will have to be places to the guide of the newborns Authority of Harbour System and therefore for the risk to be extended the commissariamento of the old Harbour Authorities and to generate situations of operating and decisional stall”. “The first step - it has agreed the president of Federagenti, Gian Enzo Duci - is completed, but now the choices of the new presidents, will have to be coherent with the attribution of great powers to this figure from whose professional ability will derive an important percentage of future success of the port and of the logistic system that on the port insists. And we wish that these choices can be anticipated already in the moment of nomination of the commissioners”.

Between the first reactions of the local institutions to the definitive launch of the provision on the governance of the Italian ports, that of president of the Region Friuli Julia second which the new order approved of from the government “after a wide one and deepened I confront - Debora Serracchiani has explained - panders to the requirements of simplification and velocizzazione of the procedures, that they are by now irrenounceable factors in order to propose itself as harbour large competitors of the hub of the Europe North and the South of the Mediterranean”.

For Serracchiani, “the reduction of the number of the Authorities, integration with the logistic systems and the rationalization of their governance with the new role attributed to the Agency of Customs represents an authentication and vituous revolution”. “Approved of I decree - it has added - now is proceeded quickly to the nomination of the presidents. For the port of Trieste - Serracchiani has restated - the regional administration is ready to giving to the understanding to the government on the name of Zeno D' Augustin (the current extraordinary commissioner of the Harbour Authority, ndr). Ours has been an optimal choice, that it has known to anticipate in the facts the spirit of the reform and is obvious that not is reason in order to change commander when the ship goes in the just direction”.

With respect to the governance only for the ports of Trieste and Monfalcone under the guide of the Authority of System of Mare Adriatico Orientale, Serracchiani has remembered that “the Region has always considered that the port of Monfalcone, to the pairs of that of Trieste, had to be ricompreso in the Authority of System with adapted territorial representation, until from the effectiveness of decrees legislative. In so far as - it has continued - we have moved in confronts of the government and our reasons. We are satisfied not only for the recepimento of our requests by the government, but also for the modalities of the made distance, that they have carried to share these results with the municipal administration of Monfalcone, the special Company of the port and the other institutions of the territory”.
