Sardinia and Sicily are united in the common battle for insularity which sees them operate on two different institutional levels, national with the modification of Article 119 of the Constitution, and European for the full implementation of the provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and a specific strategy that allows to modulate EU policies to the challenges of our territories.
"We must immediately clarify the terms of implementation of this renewed constitutional provision", said the President of the Region Christian Solinas during the conference on the topic promoted by the Center for Documentation, Research and Studies on Risk Culture of the University of Catania . "It is good to ask promptly about the implementation of the plan in practice to avoid that the constitutional change results in yet another reminder of principle on state legislation, devoid of substantial effectiveness, that is slow," said Solinas. Today, he continued, "we have the burden of substantiating content : an affirmation of principle needs to be articulated in its possible articulations".
During the meeting attended by exponents of the socio-political, economic and academic world, President Solinas recalled the commitment of the Sardinia Region: "We as a Region have also worked a lot with a series of actions at the Constitutional Court which led for example to the fundamental ruling 6 which recognized those permanent structural disadvantages deriving to Sardinia from its particular condition. These aspects were also the subject of the public finance agreement signed between the Government and the Region which expressly provides for the adoption of the most suitable compensatory instruments for their removal ".
Solinas also recalled the recent vote by the European Parliament of the Omarjee resolution , a fundamental step in the path towards the recognition of the island dimension in the policies and legislation of the European Union. "An that and that is to continue along the path traced, with the aim of reaching the definition of the regulatory and financial framework as soon as possible", he warned.
