It had to attract new investments and strengthen existing companies, which could act on new lines of activity, thanks to tax breaks and instruments on a fast track. Instead, the SEZ (Special Economic Zone) of Sardinia has been watered down into that for the South, which brings together all the entities activated in the south of Italy. And it is not known what will happen to all the operations set up over the last few years.
«The SEZ, the special economic zone which concerns the ports of Sardinia, has been in disarray since 31 December because the rules issued on the basis of the legislation approved by the centre-right in October do not regulate any transition period and this happens in the total silence of the Solinas Council which , after a first initial criticism, together with the other regions of the South gave the green light to the fairy tale of the single South Zes": the attack comes from the Democratic Party deputy, member of the Chamber Budget Commission, Silvio Lai.
«In the Prime Ministerial Decree issued on Friday», continues the Sardinian parliamentarian, «there is no provision regarding the transition period from the 8 regional Zez to the single one in the South». The provision only talks about 8.3 million euros of spending per year for the Roman technostructure, «even more than the cost of the current sums, and its start from January 1st. There are no rules", continues the deputy of the budget commission, "relating to the wealth of skills and relationships of the regional SEZs, including the Sardinian one, which had dozens of settlement projects underway to which it will not be able to respond".
A gigantic body wanted by Minister Fitto, that of the single Zes, "and approved by the majority without any contrary voice"
In Sardinia, according to Lai, «the damage is even greater: with the newly approved Prime Ministerial Decree, from 31 January the commissioner structure in Sardinia will no longer be able to operate and provide answers and the requests presented will be lost and will seek other avenues. But what is even more serious is that the development of the SEZ in Sardinia will be written in Rome and not in Sardinia."
