Monti announces the decision to let out the AdSP of the Sea of Western Sicily from Assoporti



Pasqualino Monti, president of the Authority of Harbour System of the Sea of Western Sicily, has announced that the agency, that administers the ports of Palermo, Termini Imerese, Trapani and Porto Empedocle, exits with immediate effect from the Association of the Italian Ports (Assoporti). Monti has specified that the decision "is irrevocable and is yields of a reflection deepened on the objectives and the strategy that would have to set the Association of the Italian Ports and on the total absence of the same Assoporti from the true and real debate on the future of the Italian portualità".

Monti, than of Assoporti has been president, has motivated the decision explaining that "unfortunately any associative politics in favor of the ports, and any consulenziale activity for the government and the Parliament that Assoporti would have had to carry out from protagonist, is supplanted by "a intimistica" vision of the association".

That Monti could resolve itself to abandon Assoporti was expectable for a long time, at least from when he had decided not to participate to the public programmatica assembly that the association had held at the end last year and in the course of which all the presidents of the Authorities of Harbour System, with the exception of Monti, had introduced relations on various topics of relief for the portualità and the Italian and world-wide economy.

"The orders of the day of these months - it has specified Monti - have confirmed my decision to desert are the assembly, are the directive ones of a Assoporti that - it has denounced - has lost any role and that he has become car-referring, engaged in the attainment of functional internal balances neither not certainly riconducibili to that which it would have to be its associative mission".

According to Monti, "Assoporti has dissipated in these months a patrimony represented from a role that could and had have been only also in the debate on the effects of the harbour reform, all to experiment in the field, and in the indication of corrective finalized, not to the defense of personal positions, but to the recovery of that efficiency and that productivity that they are essential factors for the ports and for I throw again competitive of all the economy of the Country".
