The current regulation of self-production in ports is fine as it is
The association calls for a ministerial discussion on how to ensure strict and uniform enforcement of existing rules
July 2, 2020
Assarmatori pointed out that "the introduction of new requirements and additional mechanisms for self-production, such as those envisaged by the amendments submitted or sketched, would not only involve significant steps backwards for protection right to self-production, but also damage to efficiency and competitiveness of the port system, and a brake on the development of maritime trade.' "You can't - pointed out the association -- come back by a blow to the situation 25 years ago."
"It is clear," noted Assarmatori, "that our country and in particular the shipping sector have urgent need to improve the level of efficiency and competitiveness of the system, also thanks to administrative and bureaucratic simplification mechanisms, as well as cost-cutting. All the more so at a time of extreme need for an industry that is reacting to the crisis taking place with their own strengths alone. It should be emphasized, in this regard - he specified the association -- that the related rules self-production of port services are already sufficiently clear and responsive to the necessary standards security in the matter. The current regulatory framework, however, provides for already a scheme that protects port companies, putting them in able to operate under a warranty authorization scheme. Under this scheme, the right to self-production of services, in this case the companies, is a general principle of our order and represents a necessary counterweight, an essential balance point for allow shipowners to pursue, in total respect for safety standards, conditions of operational efficiency in cases where port companies were not in the option of provide a service that is appropriate for economic conditions.'
Assarmatori expressed the belief that "the interest common port and maritime system is to grow." and the association has highlighted its willingness to "be discuss, through a serious and constructive confrontation with all stakeholders, at ministerial time, on how to ensure strict and uniform application of existing rules, to protect health and health in the best possible way. safety of people working in ports and on ships."
