"Italy must abandon all indecision and impress a sharp acceleration to all Economic Zone projects free zones and special logistics zones, to deal with with effective ammunition a trade war that promises to be long and which is already upsetting the balance and the coexistence between the United States and China". This was stated by the President of the Italian Federation of Maritime Agents and Brokers (Federagenti), Paolo Pessina, noting that "for the past two years decades we had become accustomed to sudden changes, but the post Covid and therefore the global instability of the markets, especially those areas of the planet that have fallen back into the nightmare of war, not to forget the commercial conflict are making decision-making almost compulsive exasperating the ability to react. Like it or not - Pessina pointed out - there is no room for prey reflections of bureaucracy and Italy is also called upon to press on the accelerator by deploying all the forces at its disposal".

"The debate on areas with customs regimes, but also - continued the president of Federagenti - can no longer be dragged out. The choices, including those for the delimitation of the areas when fully operational special needs, must be completed in the shortest possible time possible and at the same time every interpretative fold must be exploited in the European regulations to make the Italian system, first and foremost the ports, therefore freight terminals and freight centers, competitive again."

"The impression of Federagenti - concluded Pessina - is that there are much wider margins to make areas with customs, fiscal and tax regimes, special of the real bridgeheads against the ongoing global trade war".
