Giovannini: the approval of the regulation on concessions is imminent
Visit to the headquarters of the Association of Italian Ports
September 20, 2022
«With Assoporti and with the System Authorities Port - recalled the minister on the occasion of the visit - we have started a strong collaboration because the ports are a resource for the country's economy and can contribute in a way important to the ecological transition and the process of decarbonisation of transport. The huge investments that we have planned for the ports and for the strengthening of the backports and Special Economic Zones have the objective of promote the sustainable development of territories and cities on which they insist. We will work intensively in the coming weeks to complete certain tasks, such as approving the concession regulation. In October we will present a report to describe the work done together on investments, planning and reforms, including those for simplification and the digitalization of customs operations, to provide the country a port system renewed and integrated with that of the logistics. Let's leave - concluded Giovannini - a system of more cohesive authority than it was until two years ago, also thanks to the method we have established with Assoporti and the individual Port System Authorities, to make Italy more competitive at European and global level'.
Thanking the minister, the president of Assoporti, Rodolfo Giampieri, pointed out that "a loyal collaboration in this very complex phase that - has specified - we hope it will continue also with the next government, in how our mission is to look for the best solutions in favour of the sector, in the general interest. Between the other - recalled Giampieri - today the Italian ports give the start of the Italian Port Days initiative, now in its fourth edition. This year the theme concerns young people and children, topic which is part of the Sustainable Development Goals of Nations Unite." The project "Italian Port Days - opening port life and culture to people" is a coordinated initiative by Assoporti, which sees the AdSP as protagonists, with the aim of strengthen the link with the territories through dialogue.
