Venice, Lega: it’s time to give up on refreshments for large ships
Pressing on ministries: the long wait is creating damage for operators
The League presses on the ministries of Infrastructure and the Economy asking what happened to the refreshments for the large ships cut off from the heart of Venice. And above all, he asks to urgently unblock the disbursement. In fact, with the decree adopted in last year’s landscapes, the Government banned the passage of the large ships of the Venice lagoon (from 1 August 2021 onwards) to protect the environmental, artistic and cultural integrity of Venice. That measure, recalled by four deputies of the Carroccio, stops the passage in the lagoon of boats of over 25,000 tons, recognizing the Basin of San Marco, the Canale di San Marco and the Canale della Giudecca as a national monument, but following that decision , the Ministry of Infrastructures, in agreement with those of Economy and Tourism, has also adopted a decree that allocates resources “by way of compensation in favor of the shipping companies and terminal operators who have suffered as a result of this allocation”. Well, note, Ketty Fogliani, Giorgia Andreuzza, Alex Bazzaro and Sergio Vallotto, in a question filed yesterday in the Chamber, those resources would be time to unlock them, given the “damage” that the “long wait” is creating.
. – In November 2021, the dossier was brought to the attention of the European Commission, in the form of a pre-notification, for checks on incompatibility with European competition law, “and it seems that the document is still being examined at the Commission ”, The four Northern League deputies affirm in the question. Only that those refreshment points must speak urgently, add the workers and terminal operators, but also for all workers and other related companies, currently conditioned by a high degree of uncertainty and the need for secure prospects for their commercial season “, reads the question viewed by ‘Dire’.
And then, “considering the damage that this long wait is causing towards the operators”, Fogliani, Andreuzza, Bazzaro and Vallotto, press for “initiatives within the competence” of the two ministries “in all offices, national and European, at end of this situation and to provide for the disbursement of resources for the benefit of companies and workers in the sector as soon as possible “.
