Petrol, Sticchi Damiani:

(ANSA) – VERONA, MARCH 16 – “I believe it is our duty to respect, indeed strengthen, the lines of the PNRR, I am thinking of the ecological and digital transition, investing in the logistical structure, ports, also because in this new geopolitical scenario there will be second thoughts on flows, on goods “. This was stated by the Minister of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility Enrico Giovannini speaking in videoconference at the inauguration at the Verona Fair of Let Expo 2022, an exhibition dedicated to transport and logistics.

“With this new geopolitical scenario – he asked – how will flows change? It seems to me that there will certainly be a strengthening of intra-European relations”. Therefore, in this perspective, “the investments on the third crossing, to connect the Port of Genoa to the north routes, the Brenner, the strengthening we have done with the PNRR for a rail connection of 11 ports, 11 airports, and 9 centers intermodal – underlined Giovannini – must be accelerated, not slowed down, on the contrary “. The minister noted that “the good news is that the PNRR is only a piece of history. Only in the last year” the Draghi government has put on the existing infrastructure and logistics, in addition to the 61 billion of the PNRR, of the complementary plan, over 40 billion to further strengthen the railways, to consolidate the road and motorway network, to invest in the water sector in order to avoid running out of water in a crisis “. All these investments, he concluded,” must not only be confirmed but accelerate. I am very happy that even today in the State-Regions Conference we will bring very strong investments foreseen by the budget law, for example on the road because we know that it is a very important piece of transport and road transport is still carried out by road “.
