Todde: “Italy is a country with 8 thousand km of coastline but which has not expressed its potential”

“We are a country with 8,000 kilometers of coastline, we have more than India but at the same time we are not a country that has expressed all its potential in terms of sea economy from this point of view. It is important to think about industrial policies, about competitiveness for the type of companies – I am thinking of shipbuilding – that can develop in our maritime contexts “thus the Deputy Minister for Economic Development Alessandra Todde on the sidelines of the review on” The network of the economy of the sea sustainable ”during the first“ Blue forum Italia network ”summit organized in Gaeta by the Frosinone Latina Chamber of Commerce. “We need to think about the cost of energy, labor, discuss the cost of raw materials because to the extent that we make the territories competitive from an infrastructural point of view, then we have to help companies to compete in a European sector that sometimes tries to compare and never to compete. We need to review the world of imports that come from countries such as China and India where raw materials are produced not with particular attention to Co2, we need to regulate to the extent that our companies have to compete in a different market – continues Todde – The government has a fund has been set aside for energy in order to guarantee aid to sectors that include shipbuilding, there is a need for a de-taxation of maritime areas and on the energy issue we need to invest more and more in self-production “.
