Mattioli (Confitarma) invites the government to delineate a shared agenda of the "priorities of the sea"



Today in the course of the assembly anniversary of the Italian Confederation Shipping (Confitarma), it is turned to Rome near the Auditorium of Technique-Confindustria, the president of the shipowning organization, Mario Mattioli, has invited the government to delineate a shared agenda of the "priorities of the sea". In its relation, that we publish in the address book "Forum of the Shipping and the Logistics", Mattioli has remembered that the Italian fleet represents a "brand of internationally recognized quality", a point of force of the "System Country" that I found myself on quality of the services, protects of the marine job and safety of the people, the goods and the marine atmosphere and that the economy of the sea strengthens which world-wide economic frontier. "The marine industry - it has emphasized - is able to stimulate development, qualified occupation and innovation; it is an indispensable, indeed irreplaceable resource, for the world-wide economy, in order to face with success and in unitary way the total challenges of the next decades".

Remembering that in Italy the marine cluster is worth 32 billion euros and that increased the Economy Blue (considering also sport, energy and tourism) has an estimated value of 130 billion, Mattioli has evidenced that if the Country will know to activate some the potential anchor inespresso huge resources will be created ulterior. "Own for this - it has explained - we have imagined the today's assembly as a invitation to consider the sea and the earth an only "atmosphere of integrated development. We must succeed to combine the Alps and the sea in an only vituous perspective and is for that we have many times over asked a dedicated administration the marine policies, but we continue to still address at least eight ministries".

In its Mattioli participation it has observed that "today the competition has been moved in the European picture where the conditions of recording of the ships are by now practically equivalents. Therefore - it has found the president of Confitarma - the choice of the flag is determined by the conditions of the "System Country". And ours it seems to suffer from that which Sea is defined "blindness", the inability to recognize the central role of the economy of the sea for our life of every day. And here the point: We are - Mattioli has wondered - "an indeed marine" Country? We are a nation shipping friendly? We have the courage to dedicate to the marine policies a governance unitary? I - he has concluded - hope lively of yes".

In its participation Paola De Micheli, new minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, it has confirmed that the government is working in Europe "in order to assert our specificities on the International Registry, because - he has specified - we believe is a measure destined to exactly improve the competitiveness of our ships as marebonus and the ferrobonus that they have already given turned out a lot important".

The assembly has concluded itself with the participation of the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, than, replying to the questions placed from Mattioli, it has asserted that to operate and to compete free and sure in the world it is a primary necessity of the marine Countries and that Italy is an extraordinarily marine Country. Count has added that the government strongly is engaged in the international promotion of the Italian industry very knowing that great part of our produced ones is transported by sea. The prime Minister has emphasized also that he is fundamental to assure to the national fleet the possibility to compete on the total markets, following the distance already traced from the EU commission for the maintenance and the development of the marine industries of the Member States, avoiding some the offshoring.
