Civitavecchia, (Adnkronos) – “The official establishment of the Lazio Simplified Logistics Zone represents a historic and much-awaited step for the entire regional port system. I express my deepest satisfaction with the result that builds on years of hard work and discussions and which today, thanks to the signing of a decree by Deputy Minister Mantovano, has finally become a reality”. This was stated by the president of the North-Central Tyrrhenian Sea AdSP, Raffaele Latrofa.
“I would like to express my praise to the Lazio Region and to the president Francesco Rocca, who believed in this strategic path from the start, and special thanks to the vice president and member of the council for economic development Roberta Angelilli, whose constant technical and political commitment was decisive in completing this process. ZLS is a modern, concrete and indispensable tool for Lazio to make a quality leap in terms of logistical and industrial competitiveness”.
Latrofa underlines how the Simplified Logistics Zone represents an opportunity directly related to the role of the Port System Authority: “Simplification of procedures, accelerated authorization pathways, tax credits and a new incentive framework will make our ports – Civitavecchia, Fiumicino and Gaeta – even more attractive for investors, logistics operators and companies interested in developing new production chains. In this way, the ports of Lazio will be able to compete on equal terms with other large Italian and European port systems.”
“This reform – he continued – can have a direct positive impact on the arrival of new traffic, the opening of activities related to advanced logistics, intermodal and industrial initiatives related to sea and energy. As a System Authority, we are ready to do our part, providing development-oriented territory, infrastructure, skills and governance, so that the ZLS becomes a real engine of growth and employment for the entire regional area.”
“Today – Latrofa concludes – a new phase opens. We will work in full synergy with the Lazio Region, local authorities and production categories to take advantage of every opportunity that the Simple Logistics Zone finally makes possible”.
