Filt-Cgil, Fit-Cisl and UilTransport denounce that amendments to the Competition Ddl would undermine the Italian port system

" We are also concerned by the amendments on the issue of concessions for which the allocation of a role to the Transportation Regulator is expected with an overlap of the skills with those already planned and exercised by the Port System Authorities, as well as reliance on others in Anac and Agcom, effectively emptying the relevance of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility. It is the umpteenth time of action, which is aimed at demolishing the few certainties that we have in this country in defense of the public good. "
