The future of tourist ports and nautical is threatened by some economic measures under consideration of the government



The tourist portualità and the nautical Italian is worried that some measures of the economic maneuver under consideration by the government will have a decided impact negative on the ports and the nautical one from diporto, sections already hit from the effects of the crisis.

"The provisions of the maneuver of Mid-August holiday and the previewed norms "antiescape" from the government - according to Assomarinas, the Italian Association Tourist Ports adherent to Federturismo-Confindustria and UCINA Nautical Confindustria - could, to fall, to give the "final blow" also to the Italian tourist portualità".

"To irresponsibility of the "responsibles" - the president of the association has declared, Roberto Perocchio - it must answer with concrete actions. The iterated "recommendations" are not enough more in order to stop the slaughter of the Italian nautical industry: it is the hour to pass from the words to the facts".

In occasion of the next shareholders' meeting of the association, in program next the 15 september to hours 15 near the Hotel Excelsior of Rapallo, Assomarinas will make the point on the situation of the tourist nautical enterprises that - it has anticipated the association - today "are engaged to not only survive for the ominous effects of an unjust legislation but, above all, for rape turbulence of a market more and more in crisis are in the field of the services that on that of the production". To focus the crisis of the field it will be, once again, the anniversary cognitive investigation that officially will be introduced to Rapallo: numbers from which if from a part emerge the appeal of the tourist portualità of the South Italy for the new already operating tourist enterprises, from the other reveal the sensitive contraction of the question of consumption to the Italy North with an inactivity perspective, if not of ulterior decrements, at least two years.

Past friday the UCINA president - Nautical Confindustria, Anton Francesco Albertoni, have defined "conflicting and of dubbia usefullness" the measures of the maneuver of Mid-August holiday that, according to the government, would be useful to contrast the tax evasion. "Our section - Albertoni has explained - weevers every day a serious state of uncertainty on the possible outcomes of the maneuver that does not make that to damage the companies of the nautical one, already strongly hit by the heavy contraction of the turnovers recorded in the last biennium. This state is aggravated by the misleading representation, than it does not stop to repropose every day, of the diportista association equal tax dodger and all to little days from the opening of the Nautical Hall of Genoa, first world-wide window of the nautical industry".

"In our Country - the UCINA president has remembered - they are little more than the 600 societies that by right take care of chartering and lease: an insignificant data if compared to the 35,000 societies convenient cited by the press in the last days. Moreover, as I have already had a chance for assert, to the aims of the fight to the escape the instruments exist already in order to trace eventual abuses: 99% of the boats come in fact acquired through the leasing and, therefore, all the transactions can be verified from the Agency of the Entrances. Moreover 80% of the nautical park are composed of hulls with value of inferior purchase to that of an utilitarian one. Also in topic of fight to the elusione and the societies convenient, UCINA - Nautical Confindustria, already from many months and in times not suspiciones, has supplied to the Agency of the Entrances all the useful instruments for a real action of contrast, without moreover to have still had answer".

"In these hours - it has continued Albertoni - voices of absurd and strongly demagogic proposals as the last one are circulated, been left over by Domenico Scilipoti, political secretary of the Movement of National Responsibility, to insert in the text of the maneuver an article 2-second that previews a tax possession anniversary, to pass from 2012, for the yachts and the boats to engine and sail with auxiliary engine from diporto of advanced length to the six meters. A foolish measure, that the final blow to a field already heavy vessato from the economic crisis would end with the debit".

"If, as asserts the UCINA president, Domenico Scilipoti were introduced in the text of maneuver (art. 2 second proposal from the political secretary of the Movement of National Responsibility) a tax possession anniversary to pass from 2012 for the yachts and the boats to engine and sail with auxiliary engine from diporto of advanced length to the six meters - the president of Assomarinas, Perocchio has found from part its - our ports would endure the instantaneous block of the investments already started in the requalification of the existing and the realization of new projects, that is of those 50,000 already programmed moorings. This would involve a real sentence to the recession of all the section that would come private of about five billions of euro of potential private investments in infrastructures".

Anton Francesco Albertoni has turned an appeal to the government "so that - the UCINA president has said - make clarity on own objectives and the instruments that intend to adopt in order to reach them and because it is protected a section that, without to consider the induced one, also tourist, to connected it, appoints to a job more than 90.000 people and that, in case they came finally adopted a series of measures that for a long time the association invokes, could return nautical a source of returns for the state treasury very advanced to those recovered through eventual taxes".
