- Nerli (Assoporti) proposes the establishment of "a fund to make the necessary infrastructure for the development of the port system»
- Arcese (ANITA): "We can not continue to ask the government only economic resources. Further reforms to stimulate the reorganization of the Italian transport system "
 The president of the Italian Ports (Assoporti), Francesco Nerli, has proposed to establish "a fund to make the necessary infrastructure for the development of the port system of the country."Today, speaking in Rome at the general meeting of the association of road ANITA, Nerli identified which resources could flow into the fund, "a share of the resources of Eurovignette, a percentage of funds for planned investments in program contracts entered into by and ANAS RFI and a share stemming from the financial management of the Port Authority, which must be made as soon as possible, to power a system - said the Chairman of Assoporti - that involving the private capital for setting up the construction of road and rail connections with ports and major works of an integrated network (Third Crossing, Pontremolese, Baltic-Adriatic Corridor, Bari-Napoli).
- During his speech Nerli also focused on the implementation of the rules governing the time in port loading and unloading of goods for road reiterating the government, represented by Undersecretary occasion Bartolomeo Giachino, the need "to define together a consistent framework, a framework agreement enabling framework in each port, maintaining the local specificity (similar to what was done in Genoa), to find a path and mutual commitments between the drivers and clients aimed implementation of that provision. "
- Moreover, referring to the issue of competitiveness introduced by the President of ANITA, Eleuterio Arcese, in its report, said Nerli 'competitiveness and efficiency that can not be guaranteed by falsely tiered market choices, such as blocking, almost 20 years, the measure of taxes and maritime rights. " According Nerli, in fact, "unrelated to an overall plan for development of the sector, such measures do not help the actual business growth. Incentives are now more than subsidies. "
- Opening the annual general meeting of the President ANITA Arcese, which was reconfirmed in his third term, stressed that "the Italian road transport must become competitive, organized and efficient and we entrepreneurs - he added - must be the agents of change." "The development of our country - said Arcese - depends largely on the strength of our businesses and the ability to look ahead. We can not continue to ask the government only economic resources. Further reforms to stimulate the reorganization of the Italian transport system. A reform of the sector - said - must begin with the regulation of those companies in today's market reach levels of exasperation that generate conflict. "
- "He's in Europe - said the president Anita - who plays the future of our business. We must think in a European perspective and think about the growth and development of road to make it competitive in the global market. There are, however, too often having to worry about social unrest threatening the peace, losing sight of the main objective. It's time to turn the page. We must avoid repeating past mistakes and ensure that road transport is considered more and more part of the economic system. "
- "Ask yourself - Arcese said - if the regulatory action issued so far will really help revitalize and restore the balance of the environment of carriers' negotiating position in relation to clients." "He is wrong - he concluded - who believes that the minimum cost can solve the problems of the sector and is to be hoped that they are not a source of further inefficiency and critical to the industry and the wider economy."
