Assarmatori denunciation that in the Italian ports vige "a climate of absolute uncertainty in order not to say of diffuse abusiveness"
According to the association, it is necessary to ask for that the ports are removed to the entrusted norms and to the discrezionalità of the local authorities

The law is even a single one, but the interpretations of the norm - excluding sometimes, but only sometimes, those of the jurists - are multiple. In order to make clarity on the correct application of norms and regulations in harbour matter Assoarmatori, the new Italian shipowning association instituted a year ago and constituted by national and international companies that carry out regular services in Italy, it has sped up an participation of politics. Meeting today to Palazzo Madama the president of the Senate, Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati, a delegation of the guided shipowning association from president Stefano Messina has turned an appeal so that the institutions of the Country place the maximum attention to thematic relating so-called "the blue economy" "supervising, in particular - a note of Assarmatori specifies - on the legality and the respect of the norms".
According to Assarmatori, in fact, "the order of a strategic structure, which is the harbour system, anticipates still too many shadow cones because of a harbour reform in wide devoid and inadequate part incomplete and revealed for many aspects to the effort of efficientamento of the ports". Emphasizing that the association already has candidated itself to collaborate to an ulterior reform of the harbour law, Messina it has evidenced that however "it does not have to be forgotten that the rules are and go respected from all the operators".
Assarmatori has carried for example the recent cases happened in the ports of Civitavecchia and of Livorno, where - second the association - "the rules that subtend to the exercise of the terminal activities are violated in the name of an allegated protection of the traffic operated from certuni operators", cases who for Assarmatori impose "the maximum caution in order to ask for that our ports and consequently the marine activities are removed to the norms and entrusted to the discrezionalità of the often then censured local authorities from the penal magistracy also, an all creating climate of absolute uncertainty in order not to say of diffuse abusiveness".
In occasion of the encounter with the president of the Senate, Stefano Messina has evidenced also as the project of Special the Economic Zones (ZES), whose feasibility is circumscribed to the single ports of Southern Italy, "risks to only marginally produce the attended positive results, while the effectiveness of this instrument would have to be however extensive to other truths, firstly to that genoese one, penalized in cogente way from collapse of the Morandi Bridge".
