On the occasion of the start of the parliamentary process of the draft Law reorganizing Law No. 84 of 28 January 1994 on the subject of port governance and revival of infrastructure investments maritime transport policies of general interest, Federlogistica calls for the introduction of "corrective measures capable of to make the measure even more effective". "If the goal of arriving at a national direction of programming appears to be an absolutely shareable priority for coordinate investments - explained the president of the federation, Davide Falteri, referring to the establishment of the Ports d'Italia Spa provided for by the draft law - appears however the issue of the instrument should be further explored through which this function should be exercised, assessing whether this can be done through a company by action or by strengthening the structure ministerial or a specific agency. On the other hand - he specified Falteri - a company could be a solution particularly effective if it were dedicated exclusively to major infrastructure works, dredging and development and conversion of waterfronts".

We also believe it is important - continued the president of Federlogistica - a clearer definition of the methods integration between ports and logistics, in the light of the increasingly central role assumed by the logistics and of the profound changes that the sector has experienced in recent years ten years. Programming and planning must represent the priority objective to be pursued in a modern and integrated of the national port system. The relationship between the new entity and the PSAs, through the programme contracts, deserves further evaluation so that no procedural burdens or slowdowns in the implementation of the works, while it would be desirable to be able to consolidate models operational activities inspired by the effectiveness demonstrated by the commissioners in strategic works".

"What we hope for," Falteri explained is that the new structure can guarantee the AdSP adequate effective financial resources and operational tools, preventing the difficulties deriving from the increase in material costs may result in additional burdens for concessionaires and port operators, with possible repercussions on port fees and state fees. We also think that the text can be further enriched with simplification-oriented rules activities of the PSAs and the strengthening of their managerial and operational autonomy. For our part, with the maximum collaborative spirit, during the hearing at the competent Parliamentary committees - concluded the president of Federlogistica - we will illustrate our proposals, with the hope that can contribute to a shared path and to an approval of the reform with the widest possible consensus".
