On the usefulness of SEZs, i.e Special Economic Zonesfor the socio-economic and employment relaunch of the Brindisi area, through the access of businesses to fiscal and economic benefits, Confesercenti of the province of Brindisi had already expressed its positive evaluations and its sharing of the project in the past, since the construction site there were eight single SEZs covering the whole of southern Italy.
Now, with the change in procedural and administrative paradigm wanted by the current Government, which has effectively changed the initial conditions, no longer thinking about eight SEZs but about a single SEZ for southern Italy, a strong debate has been sparked, for mostly of a political nature. Without going into political and party discourses, Confesercenti Brindisi confirms that theaZES, although unique, is an important innovation, continuing to present itself as a strong impulse for investments, but nevertheless it is essential not to lose the specificities of each territory. Therefore, for Brindisi, it remains essential to broaden the range of beneficiaries, including tourism activities, which is the main driver of development, trade and services, economic sectors that are considered fundamental for the development of the southern regions.
“These sectors – declares the provincial president and regional vice-president, Michele Piccirillo – are connected to each other. More services, more local trade will simply consider tourism not only as a transit flow, but as a constant expense in the area, with undoubted economic advantages. And so, we willingly accept the possible opening of a discussion table between the various trade, employer and trade union associations, as has been requested by many in recent weeks, precisely to eliminate any critical issues that would be feared in the transition from the eight SEZs to the single SEZ. With the aim of truly giving birth to this fundamental opportunity for the South. We confirm that we want to make our contribution and we will be ready to dialogue with everyone to reach the finish line.”
