New I attack of Vincenzo Onorato to the International Registry



Vincenzo Onorato, president of the Honored one Shipping, is returned to criticize the International Registry, in which the ships used for international commercial traffics can be enrolled, Registry whose positive effects on the Italian marine industry always are evidenced by the Italian Confederation Shipping (Confitarma), from which the Honored group it has exited some years ago, and Registry that are supported also - also with the demand for some adjustments - by Assarmatori, the new Italian shipowning association of which same Vincenzo Onorato he is vice-president.

Remembering that the International Registry has been institute with the law n. have 30 on February 27, 1998, Honored specified that with this norm "the total was granted to the Italian shipowners almost defiscalizzazione of the profits" and not wage has wondered "to who in Italy the taxes? Only - it is its answer - the shipowners! But not enough. Shipping we - he has added - also have obtained the relief of the contributions for the marine ones. All this generosity by the State - it has specified Honored - expected a engagement by shipping we to embark marine Italians, today communitarian then. The Italian shipowners - the Honored president of Shipping has denounced - have taken to the defiscalizzazione and the other privileges, at all dumb, and have begun to embark marine non-EU citizens to salaries from hunger. The majority of the boarded non-EU citizens on Italian ships, and you memory that a ship of Italian flag is a piece of the Italian State everywhere it finds in the world, really does not perceive more than a fistful than dollars to the month".

Honored renewed also the accusation turned to the unions that - second the shipowner - "do not protest because with an agreement of the 2003 they perceive for every marine boarded non-EU citizen on Italian ship 190 euros. Is the result - it has observed - which? 50.000 marine vacated Italians, at home to make the hunger, and the non-EU citizens on our ships to make the hunger directly on board. We call the things for as they are. The Italian State has made accomplice of the shipowners for the exploitation of the non-EU citizens".

Honored if he takes it also with the general manager of the Ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports, Mauro Coletta, that he has convened the associations of the shipowners, Confitarma and Assarmatori, in order to discuss about the International Registry: "the Coletta - it has supported Honored - is son of ancien the regime and for this I do not address to he but the minister Toninelli who has demonstrated to great sensibility and determination for the change: the Italian shipowners expect privileges that no Italian industry receives, perfect! But that on the Italian ships - has concluded Vincenzo Onorato - marine non-EU citizens but to the same contract of the Italians come boarded marine Italian-communitarian or also, otherwise fine of the privileges. We are not racist and trouble to who it takes advantage of the poverty of people".
