More than 600 operators attended on Friday 8 April the event “Interporti al centro” organised by UIR and Interporto Padova in the brand new Congress Center of the Padua Fairgrounds. UIR president Matteo Gasparato, among other things, emphasised: “Investing in infrastructure and logistics today means allowing Italy to grow its GDP: the high export growth potential of the Italian system adds up to the more unique than rare possibility of exploiting the Recovery Fund’s resources to offer a national logistics system suited to the needs of businesses. Let me therefore make a request that is more of a provocation: the Italian freight villages are not asking for money, but simply for a law that can modernise the 32-year-old regulatory system dating back to 1990 and with which we can present ourselves on a completely different and extremely more competitive market”. UIR vice-president and president of Interporto Padua Franco Pasqualetti commented, “The Nomisma Energia research that we commissioned as UIR supports the requests to politics to strengthen the path of sustainability. Freight villages are the backbone of the national economy because they connect our country with the ports and thus support the economy of the territory, we must make known and spread the work that freight villages do, which many times is hidden and no one notices”.
