"The delays that are accumulating on the appointment of the new presidents of the Port System Authorities, united to the news that continues to circulate about a port reform that contains elements dangerous for the protection of the current port regulation system, risks throwing the our airports and to compromise the protections that, as social partners, We have built over the years." Uiltrasporti denounced it in a note, warning that "if we continue to distribute tasks without taking into account the skills of future Presidents, we will be forced to mobilize."

"The management of the ports - highlighted the union - must be public and entrusted, as required by the Law 84/94 to citizens of the Member States of the European Union having proven experience and professional qualification in the transport and port economy. You need to hire decisions based on public interest and efficiency avoiding possible conflicts of interest in a sector already strongly characterized by concentrations of power. The ports - concludes the note - are the heart of the economy of our country and do not sell out to private individuals nor do they rely on to inexperience and improvisation".
