Uniport asks the government to extend the Green Ports ban to the entire national territory
Barbera: it is necessary to grant these opportunities also to terminal operators in Southern Italy, who have not benefited from resources for development
September 14, 2021
Uniport highlights "the inconsistency of the exclusion of South, also motivated in the premises of the measure - he explains the association of national port undertakings- with the indication that the South has already benefited from a previous call for tenders CAP in the period 2014-2020'. Uniport notes that, however, "it does not the use of the measure may constitute an excuse for the use of the measure cited, since the latter is not related to the pandemic event, evidently after six years of Community aid, for the which was approved the extraordinary intervention of the PNRR whose articulations are aimed at the economic recovery of throughout the national territory and to mitigate the negative effects of the economic crisis induced by the closure of many activities due to Covid-19'
"In addition - the association objects - the announcement to which it is made reference, in addition to having expired, concerned only the Authorities of Port System, and not also the port terminals, and therefore cannot in any way be regarded as compensatory.'
"We ask the government - concludes the president of Uniport, Federico Barbera - to remedy this inconsistency, expanding the audience beneficiaries of this call to the whole national territory, certainly in a subsequent measure, in order to extend these opportunities also to terminal operators in Southern Italy, who they have not benefited from resources for development. An inconsistency inexplicable also in light of the fact that the National Plan of Recovery and Resilience sees in the relaunch of Southern Italy one of its main missions'.
