(ANSA) - TRIESTE - The goal is to strengthen the 2016
Memorandum of Understanding, focusing on collaboration in the
fields of logistics and innovation applied to businesses, so as
to create a customs corridor that, linking Trieste to Munich,
would open new growth prospects for the economy of central and
southern Europe. This road-map was outlined during the summit
between Fvg governor Massimiliano Fedriga and the Bavarian
Minister for Federal, Community and International Affairs,
Florian Herrmann, held at the State Chancellery in Munich.
The talks, in addition to the technical aspects linked to the
ongoing cooperation between the two regions, also focused on the
political relationship between Friuli Venezia Giulia and the
Land, a press release issued by the Fvg Region reported.
According to Fedriga, strengthening ties with areas which are
similar for historical and cultural reasons is "a necessary
condition to broaden the range of opportunities for our economy,
which is going through a very positive phase in terms of
bilateral relations and is, therefore, strongly oriented to
growth". The governor invited Minister Herrmann to visit Fvg in
the autumn "in order to assess, along with his colleague
Reichhart, the progress of the single projects and to personally
evaluate platforms on which we could further develop our strong
partnership".
Fedriga is in Germany to attend Transport Logistic. On
Tuesday, as part of the fair in which the Venezia Giulia Chamber
of Commerce and Area Science Park participate, the Port Network
Authority of the Eastern Adriatic Sea and the Kombiverkehr group
have signed a memorandum of understanding which aims to enhance
an intermodal corridor between the port of Trieste and the
terminal of Neuss Trimodal, located on the Rhine near Düsseldorf
and managed by Kombiverkehr. (ANSA).
