The national secretary of Filt Cgil, Amedeo D'Alessio, intervenes on the report that the Antitrust Authority would have sent to the President of the Council and the Presidents of the Chamber and Senate on self-handling in ports, hoping that "such report is not taken into account by the government'. 'The Italian Antitrust Authority - said D'Alessio - once again tries to intervene to leg stretched on the port sector, trying again to undermine the current rule governing the self-production of port operations'. "It's really incomprehensible - added - how the Authority has not at all analyzed the real dangers to the integrity of the principle competition and what are the real distortions that can endanger the publicity and the general interest of our port system. The current standard on self-handling protects the safety of port and maritime workers, avoiding whether unfair forms of competition between companies are spreading or true social and wage dumping practices. The Antitrust goes further and declares it wrong to limit the exchange of personnel between the different state-owned areas, provided for in Article 18 of Law 84/94, proposing its deletion with a modification that, on the contrary, would encourage monopoly situations and cartels between companies through the control, of the same subject within the port, of entire market shares'.

"The regulated market of the ports - it has emphasized D'Alessio - is the essential element for proper functioning of the port logistic system since it does not allow individual companies condition tariffs and consumer prices to the exclusive prerogative of its own interests and to the detriment of Everyone, starting with the workers. We wonder, therefore, whether it is really useful to the country an Authority that instead of regulating the market facilitates its deregulation without minimally dealing with dominant positions that are already being configuring not only in the maritime and port sector».

"Set aside the Antitrust report - he concluded the national secretary of the Filt Cgil - and open a discussion on the various issues that need to be deepened starting from the repeatedly announced reform of the portualità, otherwise we will be ready to take action in all locations and all Ways permitted in order to protect the regulated world of work of ports'.
