Port Community La Spezia asks autonomy financial institution for from Liguria ports



In times of new impulses secessionists that nowadays they churn some old European nation and other old and young States in others you leave of the world, also a part of from Liguria ones looks for reasons because they and their territory have what they consider is up to it.

Not many years ago, when it seemed that the Italy North wanted to be detached from the Center and the South of the Country because considered a brake to the development and the well-being of the northern populations, the Liguria seemed not to belong neither to one neither to the other of the parts. There was who, gives beyond Apennines, she considered it an underdeveloped area and as such to abandon to its destiny, and others, to on this side Apennines, that they swore falsely on the "settentrionalità" of from Liguria ones.

It will be a case, but just then it was begun to evidence the consisting produced revenue jettison at sea from from Liguria ports and it was begun to ask the autonomy financial institution for the harbour ports of call of the Region being supported that they had to be recognized a quota the jettison at sea Vat generated from the traffic enlivened from the ports. There was who called it a fiscal autonomy, who a fiscal federalism, such however to produce consisting proceeds, huge resources to use for many useful scopes. As dowry to even carry to a North federal-secessionist in order to arrange a wedding that some did not want.

If today abroad it is spoken about secession, one wonders and in some cases it is expected, in Italy for the time being is limited to us to invoke autonomy. And of having autonomy it is the demand that soon will be advanced to the government from the Liguria Region, as declared in recent days from the president of the agency, Giovanni Toti, that it has mentioned also to the necessity that from Liguria ports receive a quota more important than money publics since they are generating of a plentiful Internal Revenue.

Years ago the demand for autonomy financial institution piacque to the enterprises that operate with the ports. So it seems to be also today. An appreciation for the words of Toti has reached from the harbour community spezzina represented from Port Community La Spezia, the organization formed from the associations breaks some of the shipping agents, shippers and customs brokers, that full support to the challenge launch from the Liguria Region has express ", in order to guarantee to from Liguria ports, that they more produce to the quota consisting of the jettison at sea Vat, the harbour taxes and the custom offices poured in the cases of the State, a marked autonomy financial institution in I use it of these resources".

Port Community La Spezia has remembered that ten years ago from Liguria ports, near the center of the Chamber of Commerce of Milan ( on 1° March 2007), they had introduced a study lead from the Certet Bites that - they have emphasized the operators spezzini - "for the first time the enormous jettison at sea produced from the three marine ports of call of the E region had evidenced the clamorous imbalance between how much these ports pumped in terms of Vat on the goods to the import, customs duties and taxes, and how much instead obtained the Been about to one to finance the maintenance or the realization of new infrastructures. Infrastructures - it has found Port Community La Spezia - that they would have afforded to increase the traffic and therefore translate itself in an ulterior jettison at sea".

"The entrepreneurial categories - it has still remembered the organization of the shipping agents and the shippers - had supported that battle and more recently they had placed side by side also Assoporti, then guided by Pasqualino Monti, in tracing a harbour reform that guaranteed a strong autonomy financial institution of the single Harbour Authorities and therefore avoided the customary fed distribution to rain of the deep ones from little ports".

Referring to the new introduced norms last year that they have modified the system of governance of the Italian portualità, Alessandro Laghezza, on behalf of the community harbour of La Spezia, has denounced that "the reform has betrayed these expectations and the distribution, to which is assisting in these days, of almost the totality of the insufficient resources available to ports of the South, reproposes amazing question marks, materializing the ghosts of a return to the past".

"The Community of La Spezia - it has concluded Laghezza - expresses therefore a strong interest also for the proposal of the president of the Liguria Region, Giovanni Toti, with respect to a different configuration of endowed the Harbour Authorities and to eventual they transformation in Spa of strong autonomy and managerial agility".
