Federagenti characterizes in the bureaucracy one of the great enemies of the harbour system and logistic Italian



, of which - denunciation the national federation of the agents and marine brokers - it undermines the competitive abilities and the efficiency generating costs and operating conditions that in some cases important ends risk to place market outside marine ports of call. A bureaucracy - the federation specifies - "than is not that from the positive effects that for example a Ministry of the Merchant navy expressed years ago in which the functions were unified that now the plan of the logistics and the ports would want river-to attribute to a super section of the Ministry of Transportation, but are the bureaucracy of the duplication of the functions between more than twenty administrations to which the controls on the goods and the ship in port are delegated; it is that negative of the proliferation of norms and regulations, let alone of the different interpretations that are made some in the various ports".

In the course of the assembly anniversary of Federagenti, met today to Lerici (La Spezia), the participation of the national president of the federation, Michele Pappalardo, so as the relation held from Gianantonio Stella of "Corriere della Sera", they have evidenced clamorous cases as that of Gioia Tauro, with an increasing number of international shippers that imposes to the navigation companies the exclusion of the calabrian port from the directory of the ports of call where to disembark the goods because of the spropositatamente more numerous controls regarding how much it happens in the concurrent ports. Draft - it is remembered - of 13.803 inspections on the container, enlivened pairs to 2% of all the container in the port of Gioia Tauro, when in the Spanish port of Valencia 1% of the traffic are inspected, in the Algeciras compatriot 0.2% and the Greek port of the Pireo 0.01%. This - it is emphasized - with a paradoxical result: to Gioia Tauro in the 2014 they have been I seized 4,966 kilos of drug against the 26,700 of Spain where the number of the controls is remarkablly inferior.

Federagenti rimarca that the directory of the damages from bureaucracy is almost infinity and in grinding contrast with the chronic sottovalutazione that is made of a field as the harbour marine cluster, that complains a system of prodromal and contextual administrative procedures to the activity of import and export, from which the controls, extremely complex are generated for the numerosity of the procedures previewed and the agencies to they preplaces (23), than ripercuote on the times and the costs of parking in dock.

"For giving an idea than coast to our system a single hour of delay - the federation explains - it is possible to make the following reasoning. In the esteem of valorization of the lost time because of the bureaucratic constraints are indicated, in precautionary way, the value of 12 euros as cost for the delay of an hour in the shipment of 20 tons of goods. This means that for every hour of delay deriving from total bureaucratic-administrative procedures on 250 million tons, the cost for the Italian economic system is of 150 million euros the year, equivalents to 3,6 billion euros for every 24 hours of delay. And a delay day, in average, the transit of producing corresponds to a bending of the commerce at least 1% over a year. Bringing back this value on Italy esteem as for every day of delay the damage on the international commerce of Italy is pairs to 7,5 billion euros the year".

"Not accidentally - Federagenti finds - Customs, through the director Teresa Alvaro, have insistito on the necessity to accelerate on the process are of realization of the Unico Doganale Door, are on the uniformazione of the procedures in European Union, defending also the completed choice own to La Spezia, of the Customs Corridors".

"And still it continues the denunciation of Federagenti - the administrative procedures of Appraisal Environmental impact (VIA), Strategic Environmental Appraisal (VAS), Appraisal of Environmental Incidence (Win) turn out complex and characterized from long times of accomplishment, independently from the entity of the project. The procedure of VIA - the federation remembers - involves three Actors (proposing, subject interested and competent authority) turns out currently of the comprised maximum total duration between 300 and 360 days and it is composed of nine phases. The procedure of VAS involves numerous actors (competent authority, proceeding authority, proposing, competent system environmental agencies, ISPRA, subjects in environmental matters), of a total duration of 330 days and it is composed of seven phases. The procedure of Wins is composed of four phases (verification, screening for the feasibility of the plan/project - four activities; "appropriate" appraisal - four activities; solution analysis alternatives - two activity; definition of compensation measures)".

Specific Federagenti that "also the ships do not escape to the game of the bureaucracy: An example? - the federation specifies - the ships in an Italian port are held to the payment of an anchor duty. Iter: a shipping agent goes in Harbour office and anticipates a its counting for the tax on the base of the tonnage and the tonnage of the ship. The Harbour-office verification and emits a return order. With this the agent must physically go in bank and make to emit a personal check that successively goes carried in Customs that embed it and release a bill that goes brought back in Harbour-office. Without the payment of the tax the ship not part. Al saturday and to Sunday the praxis wants that a letter of engagement of the agent is accepted, but is at the discretion of the Marine Authority. And still. Even if it is controlled little hours before in another Italian port, every ship that arrives in our ports of call is object of a visit of the Guard of Finances, the Police of Frontier and the documentary control by the Harbour office and if coming from extra destinations EU also of the Marine Health. The visits are repeated in every port, without these converse between they, and all it is born from you decree regi that they go back to the past century".

The attention of the assembly of Federagenti also has been focused on the Plan of the logistics and the ports, than own in the today's day he would have been subordinate from the government to the green light of the European Union. Pasqualino Monti, president of Assoporti, have confirmed the altogether positive judgment on the plan rough draft, however with the demand for substantial modifications in matter of governance and rationalization of the system, and contemporary attention on the percorribilità of the instrument (the dpcm) that he would have to replace itself to the law. Michele Pappalardo has confirmed the necessity to proceed on the traced road, but to make passing it quickly from the words to the facts quickly. Altogether by the assembly a strong sign in favor of a systemic formulation is emerged is for the ports that for the logistics and of an acceleration of the collaboration between subjects private publics and operators in order to quickly overwhelm the gap competitive regarding the international competition.
