Di Caterina (ALIS): no to the changes to the Relaunch Decree that do not protect the right to self-production in ports
The new requirements, he complained, would be real obstacles to the institution of self-production, especially for ships engaged in the Highways of the Sea
July 1, 2020
"We are opposed to the approval of these changes - catherine's pointed out -- as we believe that they do not protect the right to self-production, guaranteed to economic operators Article 9 of antitrust legislation, Act 287/1990, and therefore also to shipowners in the maritime sector, but, on the contrary, represent a real step backwards for the entire port Italian language.'
"The introduction of the new requirements contained in the text Amendment to issue specific permissions port operations - clarified the director ALIS - predicts in the first place that we can proceed with self-production only if in the same port there are no authorized companies under Articles 16 and 17. In addition, today's permits lasting up to four years should be provided to each touched and would be required within 10 days from the date of the alleged arrival of the ship. Finally, the today's rent commensurate with the volumes of traffic would become much more as well as the number of stopovers, reaching EUR 1,500 per stop for ships over 100 metres."
"It is clear ," pointed out Di Caterina, that new requirements would be real obstacles institute of self-production, especially for ships engaged in Highways with high frequencies. All this would result in a profound damage to the competitiveness of the maritime sector as well as rising costs for airlines shipowners, since they would find themselves unable to have their own staff and, as a result, would create abuses of a dominant position.'
"ALIS, understanding that at a time of great difficulty for the whole country it would be appropriate and reasonable for a solution that avoid new concessions or initiatives for the autonomy of operators sector and therefore does not compromise the existing situation - concluded Di Caterina - calls for a reformulation of the intervention proposed in the conversion of the relaunch decree-law, which would be detrimental both organizationally and in terms of causing a serious impact on the volume of trade along maritime routes, employment in the sector and the use of modal conversion and the Highways of the Sea, mode of transport promoted with conviction not only by our association, but also and above all by the Union European Union."
