An appointment that has been long awaited in Emilia-Romagna, by the fishing and aquaculture companies that are collapsing due to this emergency. We trust that the new commissioner will be able to have the extraordinary powers conferred by his mandate for the necessary fulfillments and that he will also have the resources available to compensate the affected companies in Emilia-Romagna, for the collection and disposal of the crustacean. With the hope that this will not generate changes in appointments and decision-making stalemates as is unfortunately happening for African swine fever”.

The Government has accustomed our Region to managing various emergencies through the figures of the Commissioners: in any case, we ask that the responsibilities of the national institutions do not fail, however called upon to do their part in this case on compensation, research and shared solutions for the challenge against the proliferation of the blue crab, a long battle that we intend to win”.
