Aspedo, with the operation of the Ikea corridor the competences of the doganalisti shippers will come totally bypassate



To the eve of the assembly of the associations of the shippers of Genoa, La Spezia and Savona, than domattina in the capital of Liguria will hold, the Aspedo - Association Spezzina Doganalisti has turned a hard accusation to the Harbour Authority of.

"The choice of the Harbour Authority to introduce for the first in Italy customs corridor on the Ikea warehouses to the detriment of the doganalisti shippers of, own companies and altogether of the local economy - the president of Aspedo has denounced, Flavio Borra - represents the precedence who will break the vituous balance and of collaborations that have returned in the years the success of the port of possible: so said Spezia model".

"He is not acceptable - it has emphasized Borra - than is entered to stiff leg in dynamics of privatistico market, that it is what produces to wealth and occupation to high added value, in total violation of the market rules. With this operation of the Ikea corridor - it has explained - substantially those which are the competences of the doganalisti shippers, previewed from the law, and that is the emission of customs documents, they will come totally bypassate and replaced from very expensive satellite instruments of control on the motor vehicles that will have the task to monitor the container from the port of until the Ikea warehouse without no document".

"The costs of all this procedure - it has specified the president of Aspedo - will be entirely borne by the State that it will support them through Uirnet that is the public society by right participated also from the Harbour Authority of".

"We face - it has continued Borra - to dynamics that pollutes the market that tells forges efficientismi and that they will produce the single concrete fact to move the customs activities from the port of in places of the inside. As saying that to it makes the job of cargo and drainage in dock and what instead it represents the true wealth of the container moves elsewhere! We have in these months - the president of the doganalisti has remembered spezzini - tried to make to understand to the Harbour Authority that this procedure of the customs corridors, that it is dealt for modernization, produces instead loss of economic for our city together with the loss of professionality and occupied weight (about 500 assigned)".
The comment inforMARE Here to Genoa, when president of the local Harbour Authority was Giuliano Gallanti, one has spoken for years about the relationship between city and port, about theirs forced cohabitation and the opportunities that the harbour port of call can offer to the city community. With the change to the summit of the harbour agency this debate has gone diminishing. Us it has remained printed taking of position, which restated in other centers, than Luigi Merlo it had expressed two years ago own in the course of the assembly anniversary of the association of the genoese shippers. Speaking about the obstacles that frappongono to the development of the portualità, the current president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa had made reference to the dissent of the shippers regarding the participation of the harbour agency to projects as the Tiger, that he has the scope to return the logistic cycle more efficient port-retroporto, projects "that - the president of Spediporto had denounced then, Roberta Oliaro - they risk to transform our port of call in a mere corridor of transfer of containers".

Here to Genoa, when president of the local Harbour Authority was Giuliano Gallanti, one has spoken for years about the relationship between city and port, about theirs forced cohabitation and the opportunities that the harbour port of call can offer to the city community.

"On behalf of three trade associations - Borra has announced - we have formulated a demand of encounter with the president of the Harbour Authority and we have today not had no reply while we consider that our associative truth, with that of the shipping agents and the shipment houses, can give determining contributing to examine these specific technical phases of our job".

"We remember - it has evidenced moreover the president of Aspedo - than if today the port of is that of the primates of the efficiency and of the technological innovation it is thanks to the investments and to the engagement of private companies that have dedicated to resources and passion in order to make large this port creating, among other things first in Italy, a computer science platform entirely with private resources for the management of customs documents".

"We wish - it has concluded Borra - than in front of this choice of the Harbour Authority can be opened with all the interested actors, the first possible one, I confront serious loyal and transparent in which everyone can assume the responsibility of the effects that will achieve from the procedure of the customs corridors".

The Harbour Authority of has defined "at least ungenerous" the critics whom moved to the agency from the association of the doganalisti. In a note the authority harbour has evidenced as, first of all, "the Ikea project is directly elaborated by the same company with the National and Regional Agency of Customs and not cares single our port but also and mostly the port of Genoa. It is not understood therefore - it has observed the authority spezzina - in order which reason the accusations are turned to the Harbour Authority that, among other things, contrarily to asserted how much in the official notice from their president, has always looked for the collaboration with the category of the customs brokers, lend they it maximum attention and always holding in great consideration the precious job from they carried out".

"In agreement with they - it has remembered the agency - the Harbour Authority have given hard impulse to the procedure of preclearing, today realized with succeeded full load and satisfaction for all, to whose performance the Harbour Authority has subordinated and sent back every demand for agreement that came them advanced and sped up various to interpose which to you those of Melzo, Prato, Bologna and Padua".

"The engagement of the Harbour Authority - it has emphasized the agency - is that the economic fallen back ones deriving from the port remain most possible on the territory. But this - it has specified - does not have to go to discapito of the evolution and modernization of the port of call on the land of the innovation in particular own for what it regards the technological evolution and the informatizzazione that allows, thanks to the greater efficiency that derives some, to face the international competition and to increase the ability to the port breaks to attract traffics, than on the contrary they would address elsewhere and in good measure outside from our Country".

"It astonishes therefore - the note of the Harbour Authority of continues - to the current attitude of closing of the category, same that in more than an occasion proudly has been expressed restating that the successes of our port derive the always which led the way being in every field"

Moreover the Harbour Authority has found "as many shipment enterprises are being organized in order to open various offices in interposing to you. For all this the Harbour Authority at least considers the accusations ungenerous that are moved them".

"Also with regard to the demand for encounter - it has replied the agency - the same one timely fixed and was many times over sent back also for engagements of job of the current president of the shippers. This encounter, regarding the summits of Harbour Authority, will be able to already carry out beginning from next monday".
