Blood Clots After Leep

The port of Taranto and regasification

Port of Taranto.

The previous city government has tried every means to bend the same management model and the Municipal municipal or special municipal port administration also looking to impose a presidency without any special requirements and heavy conflicts of interest for activities directly operated and administered in port.

This design has generated a series of disputes that have heavily sanctioned such behavior.

The result is that in a little over a year took turns at the top leaderships of the port authority four negative all the activities of the port, both from ordinary activities and those related to the planning of the works necessary for the development of port facilities and activities are induced in behind the port and in the logistics in general.

There was no interaction between the work port and rail and road junctions to keep them functional, modern, profitable and sustainable transport.

What we want to do:

  • first of all restore the normal preparations for use of port management and comply with rules dictated by laws and by the Italian Constitution, that the force does not coveted by the center;

  • second working port in line with management to arrive at the final approval and adoption of the plan of the port which would not be possible without any infrastructure project aimed at the integration of existing maritime trade for developing the activities behind the port for implementation employment in the service sector employment advanced high-performance and low environmental impact;

  • absolute respect for the environment also in the planning of infrastructure work to maintain the proper relationship and integration of port-cities, ensuring that the port would affect the activities in the city even in the immediate vicinity of the port.

In a nutshell, we consider the port one of the largest companies in the city in which more players, more workers will be able, with his work, freely compete on equal terms to make the port more profitable and more freedom of the city and its citizens.

The regasification plant.

With regard to the installation of an LNG terminal at Taranto said he was all over and perhaps all have expressed their thoughts. Some have spoken many times and sometimes contradicting what was said with great emphasis. In fact, to contradict what was stated, someone has made use also of the Technical Committees that are empowered to express themselves in other matters let alone the safety of citizens and facilities.

The technical members to express their views expressed are not required because the assessments have not yet techniques that correlate current situations (already very complex) with those that would result if it came to the location and construction of a regasification terminal in any port area and beyond.

We've never been biased against or in favor of LNG terminals, we know that are useful and perhaps essential to the national energy balance, but we want to be sure that their location at Taranto and elsewhere, is very safe places and the people concerned. As also required by all environmental groups intervened.

Therefore, any decision, whether positive or negative, can and should be taken, with great realism and full of responsibility, after all have been adequately informed on every detail of the technical and economic choice, thereby, rejecting a priori the syndrome of "never in my backyard" as well as not accepting the simplistic statement "you can do "maybe" beyond. " Each site must be investigated with the projections that are due to envisage scenarios after the construction and operation.

Next, as to consent "policy" we would like to point out that the town police station can not express any willingness representative of the will of the people. The Province and the Region have never in their electoral programs, the possibility of installing a LNG terminal at Taranto and then they themselves can not exercise any delegation obtained by citizens.

Without due consideration not only wait for the next local elections to elect the Mayor of Taranto and predict whether or not such an option in programs for administration of the city, and this right from the primaries that will surely guarantee choosing more participatory and informed citizen.
