Strong concern about the impact on the services of mooring of the regulatory framework for the definition of the calls for tenders tenders for the assignment of maritime transport services of passengers to, between and from the islands, and the patterns of the agreements to be included in the tender specifications referred to in Resolution 22/2019 of the Transport Regulation Authority (ART) was expressed by the National Association of Groups Moorers and Boatmen Italian Ports (ANGOPI).

Today, as part of the conference "Continuity territorial system: tariff simplification and effectiveness of the contribution allocation to the security services of the navigation" organized by the association and held at the Conference Hall of the Hotel Continental in Ischia, the president of ANGOPI, Paolo Potestà, specified that the concern is raised, in particular, by the prospect of to be able to allocate surpluses to shipping companies deriving from a lower cost compared to an economic plan and financial situation, a perspective contained precisely in the evolution of the regulatory framework envisaged by the resolution of the ART, which - highlighted by Potestà - would end up compromising the effectiveness of the and the efficiency of the mooring service. In this regard, Power, recalling how the resolution acts as a "reference for the subsequent procedures for the verification and awarding of services", launched an appeal to those who will have to decide the actual allocation of the cost of the mooring service, so that is removed from this mechanism defined as perverse.

Particular attention will therefore be paid to the consultation document to amend resolution 22/2019, anticipated by Francesco Parola, ART councilor, in his speech during the works.

ANGOPI explained that the criticality concerns essentially the smaller islands, which are particularly subject to the protection of recognized by art. 119 of the Constitution, as recalled by the jurist Paolo Munari, focusing on the importance of preserving the peculiarities of the islands and promote the necessary measures to ensure territorial continuity.

The need to safeguard current safety standards through the recognition of the necessary economic resources, it is was also shared in his speech by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Infrastructure and Transport, Edoardo Rixi.
