" According to the association, which "will be the last blow to the transhipment ports that compete with North Africa."
- For Assologistica these, in fact, will be the consequences of lack of coordination between the general provisions on occupational safety (Legislative Decree 81/2008) and the Legislative Decree 272/99 on the safety and health of workers in the operations and port services .
- "After the renewal of the general occurred in 2008, as specifically provided by the Act - said today the association - the 272/99 you should be harmonized by May 15, 2011. This has not yet happened or is happening and then from May 16, as required by the general provisions, it is automatically repealed, and port operations will be applied by the Italian general legislation, which does not contemplate in any way affect the specific and peculiar characteristics of the infrastructure, structural and organizational activities of the port. "

Approval of the draft regulations - concluded Assologistica - is no cost to the State and avoid serious consequences on the national economy - exporting companies, importers and consumers - that would be far more serious than those of several times threatened, lock ' road transport.
