The opinion inforMARE
That the reform of the governance of the Italian ports has had almost unanimous approval of all the Italian harbour operators is a fact.
An other fact is that the modification of the system to administer national the harbour ports of call, put into effect from the government delivering the guide of the ports to presidents who in fact are governmental commissioners named from the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports advance understanding with the president or the presidents of the Regions, has excluded the harbour operating plaudenti from the cabin of direction of the ports, in which already before - with the law n. 84 of 1994 - insufficient possibilities had to move some lever.
Finished to the applauses, returned to normality, someone of these operators it seems to notice that what seemed to be for the best perhaps so is not.
I decree legislative of the summer 2016 that has changed the system of governance of the Italian portualità relegates the representatives of the harbour operators, so as those of the fields of the logistics, the industry, the armament and the other sections that have something to do with the ports, in the Organism of partnership of the resource sea. An organ to which I decree, with typical Italian bizantinismo, assigns functions "of confronts ascending partenariale and descendant, let alone advisory functions of social economic partnership, in particular in order" - specific the norm - to the adoption of instruments planners as the town development plan of harbour system and the triennial operations plan, let alone to opinions on documents as the pre-emptive and consuntivo project budgetary.
Some operators, also between those first plaudenti, even seem to anticipate that the within in which they are relegated by I decree legislative of August 2016 is similar so much to an Indiana reserve, of which prerogatives, virtues and peculiarities are glorified and that it would have to instill - within and outside - an exclusive feature and belongings sense.
Exclusive feature that soon some operators have understood not stiff to return them something only and essential, how much rather to give they a sole right - that to belong to the Organism of partnership of the resource sea - than in reality exclude them from all the remainder.
It does not seem necessary to be expert bizantinologi in order to understand that so it is. I decree legislative, at least in this, is clear: in case the Authority of Harbour System - the text recites - "intends to part from the opinions returned from the Organism, is held to giving of adequate motivation". Words that denounce a true one afflato democratic. Stalin - he would come to observe - would not have known to devise better. And also for Stalin - he would come to add - he applauded himself until to be peeled off the hands.
When the majority of the Italian harbour operators - we do not know how many of those spezzini between these - praised the carried out one put into effect two years ago with decrees legislative, perhaps the turned out implications of the being from the "cabin of direction" of the ports were underrated.
After the reform of the governance of the national portualità, and before Italy has a new government, he is still minister Graziano Delrio to being the head commander of the Italian portualità and, with justice, shipping agents and shippers of knock to the door of the government in order to ask to enter in a room by which, with all the honors, are let out.
Certainly this does not seem to be able to be a priority for the Gentiloni government and for Delrio, whose assignment is by now to it trickle. It will be for the next minister of Infrastructures and the Transports? Because she in the direction cabin will be and will be only to he that it will have to appeal because the petitions of the harbour operators are listened to and, even, received. Because this is the outcome of the applauded reform of the Italian portualità.
You will say that, but, there are the presidents of the Authorities of Harbour System. When on August 4, 2016 the Ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports had published the warning for the collection of interest manifestations by which they were interested to cover the role of president of the new Authorities of Harbour System, the which succeeded to agencies the old Harbour Authorities, had specified with clarity that the warning did not have "concorsuale nature, but are only published to the aim to collect the eventual manifestations of interest. Therefore - the Ministry specified - some selective procedure is not previewed, not will be written up and published some ranking, neither will be returned the directory public of which they will have introduced own curriculum". Announcing the emanation of the warning, the Ministry had explained that "the received manifestations of interest will on hand constitute a data bank of the minister".
To name the presidents of the Authorities of Harbour System - it would still come to find reading these phrases - is prerogative of the Head. That this calls Graziano or Iosif.
Certainly you think that it is foolish to compare minister Graziano Delrio to Stalin. We agree. We do not nourish doubts that Delrio has made good employment of that impenetrable data bank to exclusive use and consumption of the minister. But others?

Shipping agents and shippers of La Spezia have advanced the demand, are to the national government are to that regional one, to assure the presence of the operators spezzini in the cabin of direction of from Liguria harbour system and the guarantee for La Spezia/Marina di Carrara of being able to have use of to the pairs of Genoa and Savona of all the benefits in terms of financings is on the material structures that on those immaterial ones.
In a note Port Community La Spezia, the organization that represents the two professional categories, it has emphasized that "the moment has come that from Liguria ports make system in order to intercept a part of the destined traffic to the Europe North indeed". Shipping agents and shippers spezzini place but a prejudicial condition to "making system": that "the operators of La Spezia who for decades have returned the "miracle possible break" - has explained Port Community La Spezia - are involved in this operation of coordination. Only in this way - second the association - they will be able to place to common factor the patrimony of experiences and innovation that is experienced and implemented on the docks of La Spezia, guaranteeing to a coordination of system a effective march in more".
Announcing that Port Community La Spezia "is setting up a strategic document of I throw again", the association has evidenced that - for the shipping agents and shipments spezzini - "it is right that inside a total coordination of from Liguria logistic platform La Spezia maintains its margins of autonomy, but equally is corrected that this autonomy does not have to represent a factor discriminating regarding the choices of investment and to the money movements that will be and have to be conveyed on from Liguria portualità".
