Confindustria Nautica: “La Maddalena stop discriminatory to non-resident rental operators”

“We ask Premier Draghi and Minister Cingolani to intervene for the immediate revocation of the provision. Beyond the discriminatory content, it is also unthinkable that regulations concerning navigation and tourism businesses will be adopted while the season is already in progress”. This was stated in a note by the president of Confindustria Nautica, Saverio Cecchi after the board of directors of the Archipelago de La Maddalena National Park resolved that the permits for the rental and leasing of pleasure craft will be assigned to the Maddalenini for the 75%. The maximum limit of authorizations that can be issued is set at 360 and only 90 will be available to non-resident operators. The applicant company, Confindustria Nautica notes, “must certify that all its boats are owned by subjects residing in the Municipality of La Maddalena (Sassari). By modifying the rules of the yachting code, it is also requested to distinguish the units intended for to rental from those intended for leasing, while the national law allows the accumulation of several recreational recreational activities. For the purpose of issuing the authorization, subjects in possession of a certificate of participation in an organized environmental training course also enjoy a preferential title from the Park Authority. Finally, authorization is precluded to non-residents in the municipality of La Maddalena who had not renewed it in 2021, the year in which the Covid-19 pandemic had a strong impact “. La Maddalena Park, underlines Cecchi , “has a coastal extension of over 180 kilometers, equal to about a tenth of the whole of Sardinia, which is why a decision so strongly discriminates theory, that nothing to do with environmental protection and cancels free competition in the pleasure craft sector, is even more serious “.
