The definitive green light of the Ministry of the Environment is coming to the bridge over the Strait. There Commission for the evaluation of the environmental impact He still had suspended points on which he waited for the documentation. And now he has given the final ok to the executive project that will thus be able to move on to the examination of the Cipess, the Interministerial Committee for economic programming and sustainable development that brings together all the economic ministers involved. After the Cipess, which could be held in a couple of weeks, the operational phase can then start. The ok who arrives is greeted favorably by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini who has put his commitment on the realization of the work. But the ok also makes the controversy go again, with The deputy AVS and Co-Portavoce of Europe Verde Angelo Bonelli, who announced exposed to the EU and the magistururto. The Via Commission, made up of experts from the various sectors, had suspended the judgment, deciding to deepen the environmental incidence of three specific project sites, sites initially considered at risk of non -mitigable impact. The close company of Messina then provided further documentation and, after the new exam, the final approval has arrived.
Ciucci: “Another fundamental step completed”
“It is news of extraordinary importance, another fundamental step forward,” commented Salvini that only a few days ago he had assured that the start of the construction sites by the summer and developed the anti-mafia plan with the interior colleague, Matteo planted, with the aim of developing specific measures from the beginning, starting from the expropriations. The CEO of the Strait Company of Messina, Pietro Ciucci, speaks of “another fundamental passage completed that brings the project of the bridge to the approval by the Cipess” stressing that now “it will be possible from the Mase to activate the EU communications provided by the Habitat Directive”.
Bonelli: “A blitz against European law and the habitat directive”
Bonelli doesn’t think so. “We are faced with a real blitz against European law, in particular against the habitat directive – he immediately commented – the approval by the CTvia -Vas of the Ministry of the Environmental Environment environment for the special protection areas that will be attacked by the project of the bridge over the Strait represents an unacceptable forcing. In order not to modify the project – as foreseen by the habitat directive – environmental authorization was approved, eluding European standards “. For Bonelli, who said that it will turn to the EU and the judiciary, the overcoming of the problem has not been verified but the commission would have limited itself to “to take note of the simple government declaration on the absence of alternatives”, something that European legislation does not allow.
