Do not unguard the Customs offices in Trieste. It is the appeal launched by the members of the Propeller Club of Trieste in occasion of the meeting on the theme "Reform of the legislation customs authorities: lights and shadows for companies and operators" the cultural association in which transport operators participate held on Wednesday in Trieste. In particular, during the debate emerged the critical issues regarding the divestment, in the local area, of some offices of the Agency Customs. The participants, while sharing the need the rationalization and containment of costs for Customs through the closure of the Fernetti-Retroporto site and its merger with Trieste, agreed on the absolute need to maintain key offices in Trieste. Transferring these offices from the Trieste office to the Venice office - is supported - would be completely contrary to the objectives of development of the port and hinterport system of Friuli Venezia Giulia, on several occasions reiterated by the national government and regional.

The trade associations present at the meeting also confirmed that they had long since sent a written request intervention in this regard to local authorities and institutions and regional and to have received, however, only responses interlocutors or no feedback.

Having been pointed out that the merger decision is has already been taken by the Central Directorate of the Agency for Customs and which must "only" be made effective, is the need to act now to try to change this decision since, once implemented, This merger can no longer be revoked.

It was also noted that what is to be done in Trieste and in Friuli Venezia Giulia it is the opposite of what has been done recently in Piedmont and Liguria: previously merged into a single Regional Customs Directorate, have now been divided into two Directorates in order to facilitate, above all, the activities of the port of Genoa. "We believe - said the president of the Propeller Club Port of Trieste, Fabrizio Zerbini - that the one in Trieste deserves the same." A decisive and immediate intervention of the authorities and institutions involved to obtain a decisive change of course by the Agency of Customs, believing that the solution for Trieste, the first port of Trieste, national level, must be similar to that which has been identified for the port of Genoa.
