The agreement today (yesterday, ndr), I yield of a great job of team between the technicians of all the involved agencies, demonstrates it. From tomorrow we work for the displacement of the Frank Point. We will listen to the operators and the stakeholder in order to act in the interest of all the economic categories and the city".

"A month it makes, after to have shared the substantial formulation - the mayor of Trieste has remembered, Roberto Cosolini - there were all ripromessi to define, by April, the punctual detail of the areas and so has been. I thank the technicians of the several administrations that have worked well, melting positively not little problematic aspects. The result that we have obtained today, signing at the bottom to planimetry for the agreed subdivision of the areas, is an absolutely decisive step, after which the displacement lacks only the Frank Point and the transfer of the immense area of the Old Port to the Municipality".

While, to such purpose, president of the association of the Shippers of the Port of Trieste - Alleanza of the Shipment and the Transport in Friuli-Venezia Giulia (ASPT ASTRA) has sped up the performance of the Franco Internazionale Port of Trieste. Remembering that the association "always has been firm in its defense of the Carriage free, also when all the others, or almost, quite indicated in the regime of carriage free a brake to the development of the port", Stefano Visintin, has found that "now, having disconnected the regime of the carriage free from its insistent physicality in the areas of the Old Port, almost all recognize that draft of an asset to value itself".

"ASPT ASTRA FVG - it has continued Visintin - for a long time speeds up in all the political centers a legislative participation that definitively recognizes in head to the Harbour Authority of Trieste the powers of administration, organization and promotion of established the Franco Internazionale Port of Trieste as from the Peace treaty of Paris of 1947, and in particular that they come clearly attributed to the president of the Harbour Authority of Trieste the powers of the established director of the Carriage free in articles from 1 to 20 of the foretold Treaty. In we are attended since 1994 of the emanation of I decree ministerial previewed from art. the 6, codicil 12, of the law n. 84/1994, with which the administrative organization for the management of the free points of the port of Trieste had to be established". Evidencing that "the review of the law n. 84/1994, about which it is spoken from years, continue to being sent back" and that "today it is spoken "not before December 2015"" Visintin has emphasized that "the Franco Internazionale Port of Trieste cannot continue to wait for beyond".

"The Association of the Shippers of the port of Trieste - Visintin has explained - considers that the enforced norm allows with the Harbour Authority and the commissioner of the government in the Region Friuli Venice Julia to adopt independently the provisions necessary in order to define the administrative organization for the management of the free points of the Carriage free of Trieste, let alone the relative powers of the president of the Harbour Authority of Trieste/director of the Carriage free, the modalities for the displacement of the Franco Vecchio Point and the location of the new areas in which activating or the new Free points. Being so characterized in the Harbour Authority of Trieste and its president (or commissioner) the subject administrator and guarantor of the special regime of the Carriage free, ASPT ASTRA FVG wishes that full performance is given to the prerogatives of the same Carriage free finally, included the possibility to inside carry out operations of manipulation and industrial transformation".

"Premised that, made exception for the "Franco Industriale Point", the Free points of the Carriage free of Trieste must be subject to the administration of the Harbour Authority of Trieste - has concluded Visintin - the association consider this will facilitate the so-called "transfer" of the regime of carriage free from the areas of the Franco Vecchio Point to other situated areas in the territorial within of the province of Trieste, in so far as features of adapted harbour areas to the marine commercial traffics or of retroportuali areas functional connected to the harbour areas".
