After the sentence with which the Council of State confirmed the expiry of beach concessions to December 31, 2023, second Legacoop Romagna «a competition for each beach is envisaged, with different rules for each Municipality. One nightmare scenario which risks materializing if the Government does not decide to urgently address the issue of concessions, with a political act that provides national guidelines for the entire sector”.
«The sentence, in fact, put an end to a narrative that was both consolatory and fable-like: the highest level of the administrative judiciary established that the beach resource is scarce, tenders must be held, exemptions are null and void. The king, essentially, is naked.” Legacoop Romagna decided to ask for an iUrgent meeting with all parliamentarians elected in the area“so that they are activated in all locations to provide a clear regulatory framework very quickly”.
Beach concessions, «The burden cannot be passed on to municipal administrations»
«It is not possible to place the burden of defining the tenders with the current rules and current allocations on the municipal administrations. The result would be unacceptable disparities from one location to another and unsustainable workloads for local authorities. Chaos, in short. The objective must be to protect the development of seaside tourism that defends the income of those who work on the beach and a model made of family businesses which guarantee quality and services of the highest level.”
«It is not possible to start another “sub iudice” tourist season, compromising the survival prospects of a fundamental sector for our tourist offer. The damage is becoming more evident every day, starting from the ability to invest and redevelop companies”, comments Legacoop.
«The tourist season is now open. Those who come to the beach will be able to find, once again, an open, dynamic and welcoming organisation, made up of high quality services at fair prices, cleanliness and safety of the beach, made possible by our beach businesses and their cooperatives. The valorization of this system is an act of national responsibility that cannot be avoided.”
