“We do not take for granted that the date will remain that of January 2024 because we must remember that there is an indispensable reform theme to be pursued”. This is said by Maurizio Rustignoli, national president of the association of bathing establishments Fiba Confesercenti, about the tenders for bathing concessions after yesterday’s approval in the Cdm of the amendment to the Competition bill and after the sentence of the Council of State, interviewed by Adnkronos. “The theme of the mapping of the coasts for which 3 million euros are allocated – adds the representative of the seaside resorts – will have to be followed up and there is a commitment from the government. So we say we are not going to identify a certain date: maybe it is the 2024 but it can be 2026 or 2027. And let’s say: we make public evidence when there will be clarity on the reform path implemented, or when the mapping will make us understand whether or not there is a scarcity of the resource and when the reform of the Demanio will have found a conclusion “.” Today with this amendment – summarizes Rustignoli – a step forward has been made but we are dissatisfied “. “In Parliament we hope that all political forces carry out the commitments made in compliance with European standards, public evidence must arrive in time and in such a way that they do not have a disastrous impact on the Italian seaside tourism system”. “To date, how does the government legislate on something it does not know? – argues Rustignoli – We do not yet know the number of concessions, we do not know how much it is yet to be granted, we do not know the income from the concession titles: the State, as the owner this is the current picture of the good he will have to say, we make every reason so that this public good can be given in concession respecting the European directives, but this thing still needs to be done “.
