Canavese, Forcieri and Merlo talk about the new legislative decree
“We didn’t raise taxes when we had the chance to do it, but that doesn’t mean that we want to reduce them now. The incomes produced by Ligurian Ports were and will be of use to make more investments”
The Presidents of the three Ligurian Port Authorities have taken up a definite position as regards the decree foreseeing the reduction of 2010 and 2011 port taxes.
“We didn’t raise taxes when we had the chance to do it, but that doesn’t mean that we want to reduce them now. The incomes produced by Ligurian Ports were and will be of use to make more investments, and without investments ports won’t be able to grow.
Rino Canavese, President of Savona Port Authority, Lorenzo Forcieri, La Spezia Port Authority, and Luigi Merlo, Genoa Port Authority, were unanimous in their criticism about a decree which risk stopping the investments strategy for port infrastructures, with a loss of competitiveness of the Italian ports on international markets.
