"Our goal is to get out of the Bolkestein directive and bring to Europe a proposal that is credible, concrete and above all is approved by EU technicians. And that goes in the direction that we have always said: the bathing establishments are not part of the Bolkestein directive, they have to stay out". This is what the Minister of Agricultural, Food, Forestry and Tourism Policies, Sen. Gian Marco Centinaio declared, at the meeting with the seaside resorts at the Ttg Travel Experience taking place at the Rimini Fair.
"We were clear from the beginning of the election campaign, then during the government contract. And I am happy that yesterday at the inter-ministerial table on the application of the Bolkestein directive the will that we have always expressed to the seaside world emerged without ifs and buts. The next steps are very simple "- continued Minister Gian Marco Centinaio, -" We will start listening to trade associations and individuals who have expertise in the matter. The goal and the hope is to be able to arrive by the end of the year at a shared and definitive document that can be presented to Europe".
