of Antonio Mazzeo inauguration of the new headquarters of the company called to build the bridge over the Strait of Messina , Wednesday, July 14, there is also the minister of infrastructure Matteoli. The headquarters of Eurolink (the consortium and the general contractor for the design work) and those engaged in environmental monitoring and project management, will be housed in the Polo Papardo "University of Messina, a few miles from where it should rise one of the two pillars of the mega-opera. The premises are those of the Incubator Companies financed with funds from the Act 208 of 1998 reserved "to actions to promote, employment and enterprise in deprived areas." The structure is never brought into operation, would have to accommodate, when fully implemented, up to 46 companies and young researchers from the Ateneo. In exchange for a fee whose amount is still secret and Development Italy Sicily, who had received a concession from the University, has sub-leased indefinitely to large companies participating in the North of the Bridge billionaire banquet. One of them, Impregilo, leader of the consortium general contractor, the new university knows him well, having carried out the construction works of the Faculty of Engineering, 144 billion lire for three buildings of 35 thousand square meters. The delivery of the local "Papardo" dates back to June 2004, with a 'light' delay of schedule, which is justified by the then Dean of Engineering with the "transition from BOCOG, the same company that built the new home the Annunziata of Arts, the Impregilo. Rating debatable since the construction company leader in Italy had taken 40% of the share capital of BOCOG in October 1997, three years before that the company got the contract by the University for new faculty. And in 2002, always Impregilo, Bonifati had then bought by another 40% of capital, "BOCOG".
A transaction, the University - Development Italy - Bridge Company, harshly criticized by activists and militants fighting against the creation of the "monster of the Straits." The Network Bridge No expressed at the last meeting of the Academic Senate, asking in vain three times, you can sit and talk with the rector of the University makes a decision that the head office of Impregilo & Partner. The answer then the Senate has come through a note telegraph. "The granting of the property development in Sicily Italy - says - in 2002 and was considered on the basis of it, the dealer may put local firms without prior permission of the University, as was the case." A statement that is not convincing at all Professor Guido Signorino, professor of Applied Economics in the Faculty of Political Science and Director of the Rector Liaison Office for University-business incubator at the time of granting a Development Italy. 'In 2002 the award was not signed, but his previous proceedings: a "memorandum of understanding" under which they started the negotiations to define the terms in which the University would have been the incubator, "says Signorino. "On this basis, Development Italy took its steps to obtain from the Ministry of Industry to finance the restructuring of local Papardo. The deed was signed in March 2004 instead. "
Economist also points out that the granting transfer of management responsibility to ensure Italy property development, but the purpose of binding to the "business incubator", referring to his role as a service center for fledgling businesses 'and' guide to the business market incubated by the manager. " "The use of space for purposes not intended by the Act it is a violation," said Signorino. "It is obvious that Eurolink and affiliated companies may be considered" emerging companies "and do not need any" accompanying the market "by anyone. In addition, the duration of the use of the premises does not seem commensurate with the limits identified in the grant. Permanence incubator was established in 36 months, exceptionally, be extended up to 60, in order to generate a continuous stream of new and innovative businesses. Work on the bridge instead have a minimum of six years. "
Professor Signorino remembers that the deed gave the University a duty to ensure that the facility was operated in full compliance with its objectives. In the event that the operator had placed the property in a manner inconsistent with the grant should be revoked. "It also provided for the establishment of a joint committee to address and control", composed of an equal number of representatives of the University and Development Italy. The committee should provide guidance on productive activities to favor the use of the structure and express opinions on the companies to settle. It is therefore not correct to imply that the University has no tools to address management and the allocation of space to take place without its prior control. It remains to be seen whether the "Joint Committee" has been established or not. I doubt it, given that the incubator is not yet completed. But that does not justify that, even before it is delivered and that the bodies involved in its management are established, they are decided to use that derogate from the purposes and institutional constraints. "
Gentleman does not consider it credible that the location of the incubator was made in complete autonomy from Italy Development and the University of Messina was only informed after the fact. "It seems almost the opposite, namely that the University has decided to push for this assignment, putting pressure on Development Italy why this happened," says the teacher. Pressing a wide-ranging confirmed directly by the development. Feel Centonove weekly from June 25, the development manager said that Italy "was the highest representative of the university to ask for a letter to make available to other companies Eurolink and the building."
Doubts and misgivings, however, do not spare the public SpA created to promote business and not to increase his income with the rental of premises obtained a concession. The capital of Sicily, Italy Development (€ 6,816,066.92), is 100% controlled by the Sicilian Region, which, in turn, is also a minority shareholder of Stretto di Messina SpA, the company that assigned the public broadcaster to Eurolink the design, implementation and management of post-opera Bridge between Scylla and Charybdis. "With the signing of a lease of real estate in the district Papardo, Development Italy Sicily, namely the region, has to exercise its control over the assets attributed to Eurolink, while simultaneously receiving the same consortium of companies, the monthly charges for the rental of the core business of the bridge over the Strait, "the complaint Louis Sturniolo, a representative of the Network No Messina Bridge. "We are facing a double speculation to the detriment of the public: on the one hand, the" income "development that will ensure Italy rents and, second, the privilege offered to the general contractor to be able to settle its administrative center at a price out of business. This is the corollary of the Bridge to transactions based on the subtraction of public spaces, on the denial of real job opportunities to the younger generations in the name of profits and private interests. "
to try such as the conversion of the incubator's degree in general workshop of the godfathers of the Bridge is the last great insult to the detriment of local populations, a detailed document from the No Net Bridge. "According to the definition formulated by the National Business Incubators Association (NBIA), an" incubator "is an" instrument of economic development designed to accelerate the growth and success of entrepreneurial initiatives through a structured set of resources and services, "write the researchers of the Network "The purpose of an incubator is therefore" to build successful companies, able to exit the support program had achieved autonomy and financial viability. " Among the strategic objectives, creation of jobs, support the local economy, technology transfer and exploitation of research results, and the revitalization of depressed areas, diversification of production, the promotion of specific industrial sectors and specific groups social. None of this has to do with the construction of the bridge. "
The Network recalls that emerged in the academic incubators should meet the need of the universities' to intensify the transfer of technology and industrial relations by encouraging their students, researchers, teachers and research laboratories, developing collaboration with companies and participating actively in local development. " Specifically, the incubator of the University of Messina, the purposes stated in the grant aimed at "strengthening the local economy 'and the' supply of spaces for young people to express their business capabilities in a very competitive city." "The incubator district Papardo - remember the No Net Bridge - were to be devoted to hospitality, with a limited duration, to industrial spin-offs arising from scientific research. The Eurolink consortium has not, however, no feature enabling it to become the host-beneficiary of the structure. It is not a business "New", resulting from the establishment of the association of companies in the consortium won the tender for the general contractor of the bridge, which took place between 2005 and 2006. None of the construction companies that make up the ATI has offices or subsidiaries in the Straits (some are, indeed, foreign) and are all old and training corporations and groups in the ownership of stock of national importance (the Benetton family, and Gavio Ligresti for Impregilo).
How is cost the State the 'Incubator of the Bridge "is a mystery. In 2002 the University of Messina presented a financial plan for 4 million euro, but to date has not been specified the actual amount of funds obtained by the implementation of the structure. Even conflicting figures on the extent of the area allocated to it. The documents referenced once at a "complex" of 4,400 square feet, again in 4355, a third to "only" 3,500. However, companies in the bridge could not find anything better. In a few days the ribbon cutting and the installation. To present the final draft and will start work again as long as you want.
