Definitive approval from the Chamber also for the designation of Consalvo in Trieste
Rome – The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, has finally signed the decrees appointing the new presidents of eight Port System Authorities, thus completing a fundamental institutional step for the governance of the respective maritime hubs. The appointments concern: Francesco Benevolo, president of the Central Northern Adriatic Sea AdSp; Giovanni Gugliotti, president of the Ionian Sea AdSp; Davide Gariglio, president of the Northern Tyrrhenian Sea AdSp; – Raffaele Latrofa, president of the Central Northern Tyrrhenian Sea AdSp; Eliseo Cuccaro, president of the Central Tyrrhenian Sea AdSp; Matteo Gasparato, president of the Northern Adriatic Sea AdSp; Paolo Piacenza, president of the Southern Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas AdSp; Domenico Bagalà, president of the Sea of Sardinia AdSp.
With these appointments, a note explains, “the Mit confirms its attention towards the structural strengthening of the Italian port system, the hub of logistics, maritime exchange and our country’s international competitiveness.”
Furthermore, also on the same day, the Chamber of Deputies gave a favorable opinion on the appointment of Marco Consalvo as president of the Eastern Adriatic Sea Port System Authority. The appointment had already been approved previously by the Senate, “confirming the full legitimacy and institutional support for this choice.” Now, the signing of the appointment decree by the minister is also awaited for Consalvo.
“The ministry and the government – the note concludes – reiterate their commitment to ensuring that all the country’s port authorities can operate at their best, to avoid administrative paralysis and promote maximum efficiency in the sector.”
And now the game begins for the designation of the General Secretaries of the AdSps: a prerogative which by law belongs to the presidents. But this does not mean that the majority parties are not eyeing these appointments with interest.
