Funding for the Pescara Marina

Question for written answer E-008226-14
to the Commission
Rule 130
Aldo Patriciello (PPE)

The Pescara Marina, one of the largest of its kind on the Adriatic, has had a European Blue Flag since 1990. Its large commercial centre provides employment and services on a large scale and numerous events such as the the ‘Estatica’ and ‘Sottocosta’ are held there. It is also a fully developed leisure centre with facilities for many activities, such as jet skiing for example.

From the marina it is possible to reach the Tremiti islands, which have been declared a marine reserve under the Inter-Ministerial Decree of 14 July 1989. It is of key importance to the local economy and the Pescara Maritime Police, Guardia di Finanza air and sea services and Coastguard all have headquarters there.

Given that the EU has already provided funding for the restructuring and modernisation of Italian ports such as Genoa and Civitavecchia, has the Commission earmarked similar funding for facilities such as the Pescara Marina, which are of key importance for the local residents and the local economy, or does it plan to do so?
