It is no longer in question, indeed -- he clarified the Secretary General of Assarmatori - a convention unique for all Sardinian routes, as in the past, but different calls and only for routes where weakness and unprofitableness market makes a public subsidy that compensation to the shipowner called upon to incur extra costs.
