With regard to the discipline of the staff of the Supervisory Authorities Port System there will be a profound revision with respect to the original intentions of the government. He announced this on Wednesday Maria Grazia Frijia, rapporteur of the reorganization bill Law No. 84 of 28 January 1994 on port governance and on investments in strategic transport infrastructure during the examination of the legislative text by the Commission Transport of the Chamber of Deputies, responding to the intervention of Francesca Ghirra on the amendment she signed for the first time concerning the in which the staff of the Port System Authorities, and more generally of other administrations or companies, he may be sent to work for Porti d'Italia Spa. Article 9, in fact, provides that the new company must equip itself of personnel from the Port Authorities.

The amendment was withdrawn after Frijia replied that the discipline of the staff of the Port Authorities will be subject to a thorough revision. The rapporteur's announcement is The only concrete opening on the text that emerged in the October sessions to the IX Commission, which have not changed one iota the bill, which was approved by the Council of ministers at the end of last year ( of 22 December 2025), as not a single amendment was approved among the dozens mainly focused on the corporate nature of Porti d'Italia Spa, the wholly public company owned by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, but of private law, established as the central pivot of the reform, but also on directors' remuneration, on transparency in the recruitment, on the role of Municipalities and System Authorities Port. So far, the majority has set aside the most important issues delicate.

The perplexities and criticisms have focused on these days on the Ports of Italy, which would centralize powers by taking them away to the sixteen Port System Authorities and which would carry out both concession and market activities, with exceptions to the regulation of public companies.

In the coming weeks, three things will tell if the reform changes really. The first is the text that will come out of the Provisions for amendments on capital ownership of Porti d'Italia Spa, on the duration of the concession of ninety-nine years in the hands of the new public company and on the extraordinary maintenance of infrastructures which would be handled by the Ports of Italy (as well as having the primary task of carrying out new strategic works). The second is the real weight of the System Authorities Port after the announced "profound overhaul" Wednesday. The third is the final opinion on the amendments set aside that the President of the IX Committee, Salvatore Deidda, said that it was subject to verification by the General Accounting Office of the State.

So far, the government has defended the form of society to actions of the Ports of Italy and rejected the amendments that would have introduced advisory bodies or shares of the municipalities in the company, while the oppositions ask for more space for Parliament in the choices entrusted to the new company. The text is not has been modified, but the most contested nodes remain open.
