The development of virtuous synergies between branches of the state at the service of the community continues

On Tuesday 17 May, in the Sala delle Crociere of Palazzo Aeronautica in Rome, the Commander General of the Guardia di Finanza, General of the Army Corps Giuseppe Zafarana, and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, Air Force General Luca Goretti, signed an inter-ministerial Framework Agreement for the development and conduct of joint activities and programs of common interest between the two institutions.

The Agreement, which responds to the country system's need to optimize the use of the resources of various state bodies, with particular regard to community support activities, lays the foundations for a strategic synergy between the two institutions.

The scope of the document is particularly broad and includes operational, training and logistical aspects.

As part of the Agreement, the Air Force and the Guardia di Finanza will be able to share and systematize their respective sector-specific skills, contributing with their personnel and structures to develop new technologies and capabilities of mutual interest in the aeronautical field, generating in the at the same time economies of scale and optimizing the use of available resources.

"There is great satisfaction for the agreement signed today between the Air Force and the Guardia di Finanza", underlined General Goretti, "an agreement that seals the extraordinary commonality of general intent between the two institutions and that opens the way to forms collaboration even more important. Consider us your friends and colleagues at all times, we have a lot to learn from you and you certainly have something to ask of us too. We will be happy to give maximum support and a significant contribution to the activities that will involve us "

General Zafarana underlined how much “this agreement represents a milestone for the development of synergies especially in some fundamental sectors ranging from logistics, training, up to technical service directives. Today's agreement - General Zafarana concluded - lays the foundations to further increase our collaboration ”.

The document signed today constitutes the broader framework within which various activities and forms of cooperation will be placed, which will then be regulated in detail by subsequent and descending Implementing Agreements, specific for the various sectors of application, such as for example that relating to flight training.
