The unions manifest worry for the stall of the procedure of privatization of Tirrenia


The unions manifest worry for the phase of stall in which the procedure of privatization of the Tirrenia has reached that previews its cession to the Italian Company of Navigation (CIN). “He is serious and worrisome to state - the general secretary of Federmar has explained, Alessandro Pico - than every qualvolta the soap opera of Tirrenia - by now it cannot that be defined this operation of privatization so - seems to reach in port, the filler is always something that in open sea, in complete disregard for the two thousand workers of this company and for their families for a long time in apprehension for the destiny of their places of work and therefore for their same future. Now to provoke the umpteenth one stopped with the history of the restitution of 400 million the subsidies that would not have had to be given to the Tirrenia Group, of which the logically CIN it does not intend to make oneself some loaded - Pico has remembered - is own that same EU commission that with own actions of 2001 and of 2004 it had judged compatible with the common market the aids distributed from the State to Tirrenia, Caremar, Siremar and Toremar”. “To tell the truth - it has specified the representative of Federmar, the Commission has moved in the October last year, for its same admission, on a level with “action which had” in presence of some denunciations reached them and regarding the delay of the conventions to the former Tirrenia Group beyond December 2008, denunciations that are to demonstrate with clarity like from a part of the Italian shipowners always is osteggiata the presence of a carrier subsidized from the State - today it would be a carrier subsidized private - in the connections with the islands and therefore to eliminate for having free field in the services and the rates”.

According to Federmar, on this event it must but emphasize with force some full stops:
“checché of it says the Sardinian Region - it has found Pico - is duty of every State to guarantee the territorial continuity with the islands through service contracts, that is the famous conventions; to the contest for the privatization of the Tirrenia Group, contest regularly indetta in December 2009, has initially participated sixteen subjects, gradually been reduced to the single CIN; with the times of crises that run and with the unstoppable unemployment that is left over, the government cannot continue to remain fugitive on this operation but he must work alacremente for a fast and positive conclusion, making also to understand the bureaucrats of Brussels - it has concluded Pico - than is not the case to insist with their formalities because here, if it jumps all, there are in discussone two thousand places of work and wide slices of the economies of some Regions”.

While the national secretariat of Ugl Transports and the national secretariat Sea and Ports of Ugl Transports have proclaimed the state of agitation of all the Tirrenia dependent explaining that “in the within of the previewed procedures of cooling from law 146 of 1990, have asked a urgent encounter the ministry for the economic Development, to the extraordinary administration of Tirrenia, CIN, Fedarlinea, the Commission of guarantee of the law enforcement on strike in the services essential publics and to the Observatory trade-union conflicts”. For the national secretary of Ugl Transports, Fabio Milloch, and the national secretary Sea and Ports of Ugl Transports, Pasquale Mennella, “seems that the national and European institutions are in competition between they in order to prevent that the privatization process comes true. 30th june - they have remembered - it would have had to be the definitive passage of Tirrenia to CIN but this has not happened because the ministry of the economic Development has not still given to CIN and to the banks that support the plan the demanded guarantees”.

“Equally pernicious - they have evidenced represented of Ugl the Transports - the omens on the European front: the investigation of the EU commission on the received aids of state from Tirrenia from 2008 today could hit a born company ago little months and therefore totally stranger to events pregresse, decreeing the failure of an operation to which the risen ones of thousands of workers are tied, directed and of the induced one, and of the ability to our Country to guarantee essential a public service and the territorial continuity”.

“We have always demonstrated responsibility sense in order to contribute to giving a future to Tirrenia - they have concluded Milloch and Mennella - but now cannot more wait for. We will put in field all the necessary actions if not there will be shortly concrete answers for the workers, than find again in more the total uncertainty and in front of the failure of their expectations to little meters from the goal”.
