L’assemblea annuale di ESPO sarà incentrata sulla futura politica portuale europea
Si terrà l’1 e il 2 giugno a Stoccolma
La prossima assemblea annuale dell’European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) sarà incentrata sulla futura politica portuale europea alla luce del recente ritiro del progetto di direttiva sul mercato dei servizi portuali (inforMARE
dell’8 marzo 2006).
All’evento, che si svolgerà l’1 e il 2 giugno a Stoccolma parteciperanno il vicepresidente della Commissione Europea, Jacques Barrot, e l’europarlamentare Georg Jarzembowski, relatore del progetto di legge sui servizi portuali. Tre genovesi interverranno alla conferenza: il presidente di ESPO, Giuliano Gallanti, il presidente dell’Autorità Portuale di Genova, Giovanni Novi, e il professor Enrico Musso dell’Università di Genova.
Il primo giorno della conferenza sarà dedicato al valore dei porti per l’Europa e al ruolo delle autorità portuali. Il secondo giorno sarà suddiviso in tre sessioni tematiche nelle quali verranno affrontati i temi degli investimenti per i porti, dello sviluppo sostenibile dei porti e del ruolo dei porti nella catena logistica, argomenti che - ha spiegato ESPO - potranno costituire le basi della politica portuale europea.
