Is already summer to La Spezia. The customs corridors raise the temperature



After the institutional retort of the Harbour Authority of to the taken one of position of the Association Spezzina Doganalisti (Aspedo) on the topic of the customs corridors, and in particular approximately that planned in order to serve the warehouses Ikea( 26of March 2015), today the president of the harbour agency, Lorenzo Forcieri, has answered first hand to the participation on the same issue of the president of Confindustria of, Giorgio Bucchioni( 30of March 2015).

"In the first place - it has emphasized Forcieri - I want to specify that the Harbour Authority does not have some competence in the merit than is happening! Moreover - it has added - they are not "one of the most courageous supporters of the customs corridor Ikea", like Bucchioni asserts, demonstrating not to have carefully read the position of the Harbour Authority neither of some to have followed the job of these years in order to upgrade and to support the port and the "Spezia system" and being so contributed to make to reach never turned out obtained it before".

"Contrarily to others - it has evidenced the president of the harbour authority - I do not have some interest and no economic, political benefit or of other nature in beating to me in order to support the development of our port, being supported and promuovendo the necessary innovations in order to increase of the competitiveness and to increase of so its ability to produce to job and wealth for our territory and the entire Country".

"astonishes Me - it has continued Forcieri - than dottor the Bucchioni does not know the situation in evolution in customs field: a work in progress for the realization of national a logistic platform that will have to improve the entire logistic chain, which several subjects concur is regarding the street modality that railway one, neither the important job that the Agency of Customs is getting ahead in order to simplify the procedures and to velocizzare the transfer of the goods long the logistic chain. As president of an association of entrepreneurs would have to know at least that this job are indispensable in order to exceed criticality and limits of our logistic system that weigh on our possibilities of resumption and that they stop the development of the Country"

As well as regarding Bucchioni, the disputes of Forcieri unconsciously are turned also the president of the shipping agents spezzini, Andrea Fontana, than today to criticized the role carried out from UIRNet in the management of the customs corridors(of 1 April 2015). "Pathetic - Forcieri has objected in fact - it then seems me the controversy towards UIRNet. I would want in fact sommessamente to remember that UIRNet is the subject only actuator for the realization of the system of management of the national logistics, so like dictation from decrees ministerial of the 20 june 2005 number 18T of the 24 law and Ministry of Transportation successive March 2012, n. 27, art. 61-second, and recently restated from I decree on the Spending Review. Currently UIRNet is engaged also in the realization of National Logistic Platform (PLN). The great logistic corridors are then a priority for Europe, engaged to eliminate backwardnesses and limits that of it condition and compromise the possibilities of increase in a more and more competitive world".

"I was not myself never shrewed - Forcieri has criticized - than the manufacturers were contrary to all this! Indeed, it is own Confindustria that a day yes and other also asks participations in such sense! But Mr. Bucchioni and others with he seem to suffer from the syndrome of NIMBY (Not in my backyard - Not in my courtyard)! The reforms are invoked, applaude Renzi for its strong initiative in such sense, but only if they regard the others, ready to raise barricapt if someone of these reforms touches own interests"

Moreover the president of the Harbour Authority of has newly clarified the role of the agency in the Ikea event: "the Ikea issue - it has explained - interests mainly the port of Genoa, through which the totality of the Ikea traffics passes almost towards the warehouse of Piacenza, that triage center for the south Europe acts as and solos in minimal leave the port of. In front of situations of inefficiency in the harbour activities and the procedures of clearance of the goods, that they negatively conditioned the business policy of the group and its delicate and complex logistic activity, Ikea has placed a problem to the government, to the Agency of Customs, to the ports, says to the entire system Country: or the performances of the harbour activities were improved considerably and customs or the company would have used of the ports of the Europe North, excluding those Italians, Genoa firstly and then also La Spezia. In agreement with Ikea, after to have estimated various hypotheses, the National Agency of Customs has decided to institute the customs corridor Genoa-Piacenza and, successively that the Spezia-Piacenza. Corridors for which it turns out to be on an intense activity of preparation, but that still they are not activated. I understand that these new procedures can create of the problems, like moreover all the changes, but - has rimarcato Forcieri - Mr. Bucchioni would have preferred to lose the traffics to advantage of the ports of the Europe north? What would have earned some or what of it would earn, because the risk still exists, the "Spezia system""

"I must then to restate - has added - that the Harbour Authority, always in agreement with the shippers, has hard given impulse to the procedure of preclearing subordinating and sending back to its performance every demand for agreement that came them advanced and sped up various to interpose to you, but as we have seen, the things proceeds independently from we".

Forcieri is right when it speeds up the community of the harbour operators to become more and more part active in order to do so as that the port of you still increase its efficiency confirming itself one of the main points of transit of the international traffics from and for Italy.

"But - it has still found Forcieri - which the proposals that are advanced by who today protest? Nobody! The only outlet to much alarming protest which is? Let us speak of it in Harbour Committee! Well, of it we will speak, but that sadness! Indeed doesn't the president of the manufacturers, always ready to giving lessons to all know to propose other? The way in order to face the innovations that, unavoidably, piaccia or piaccia to the Mr. Bucchioni & C. will not go ahead for the good of the Country, of its citizens and workers - according to the president of the Harbour Authority - is not that to try to hinder them but to put themselves to the step and to try to govern them. How can the port tackle to the processes in course? To my warning only returning more convenient and sure to clear in port respect to other solutions, customs corridors, or cetralized clearance or other are called”.

“In purpose, in absence of some proposal in merit - he has concluded Forcieri - I afford I to suggest some small concrete initiative that, if put into effect, could give to a sure positive contribution in this direction, inviting all to make equally, to abandon instrumental and propagandistiche positions and to engage itself in order to obtain turned out concrete. We begin from the preclearing, that is the clearance in sea: it is certainly a first important step, that it goes extended most possible; then the only door with the location of an only authority, the customs, assigned to the controls; the opening of the offices h24 or at least, while, 8-24 and every day comprised the saturday, improving the total efficiency, So the requirement to move elsewhere the operations will come less and less perceived and will be less and less convenient. So the harbour community always greater will have fallen back, because “not assisted” and falsely protect from the new one, but because more competitive and efficient! On this plan, that is on the plan of the innovation in order to increase the ability to compete, the Harbour Authority will be, like always has been, to the flank of the operators, ready to make, like up to now has made, own ready part and to receive every constructive suggestion, with availability and simplicity, but rejecting firmly pathetic lezioncine from little money. It is not fighting rearguard battles that defend the economy and the occupation: so solo is made propagandizes and moreover deceptive”.
