In the same moment in which the offices of the MIT deservedly they have been activated in order to above all bring back order and legitimacy in the field of the "Harbour Job" in the field of the so-called "self-handlers", analogous replies are not had, whereby, as to Livorno all this are aggravated by a situation of commistione of roles authorize to you, managerial and of control that does not have replies in other truths and where, quite, the entire inspecting system of the U.L.P are dismantled. We have asked the Ministry of Transportation - it has specified Barb - to acquire details on how much it is happening and to take part in order to favor homogeneity of rules on a national level, flood competition, investments and development of new traffics".
