Green light for the regasification terminal in Piombino. The Lazio Regional Administrative Court rejected the municipality’s request for suspension. There are no grounds for granting the precautionary suspension of the commissioner’s order which led to the release of the authorization for the construction of a regasification terminal in the port, the third section of the Tar decided with an order.

Next March 8 there will be the hearing to discuss the appeal on the merits. According to the judges, the feared risks for public safety related to the regasification terminal are, at the moment, devoid of actuality having regard to the fact that the Definitive Safety Report and the Integrated Environmental Authorization must be acquired before starting the activity and that, with reference to the works started in the SIN area, no significant contingencies or critical issues emerged regarding the conduct of the activities which will have to continue to be carried out in compliance with the detailed prescriptions and recommendations made by the competent bodies and included in the Commissioner’s Ordinance.

At the outcome of the first examination of the documentation offered – the provision reads – the process that led to the adoption of the burdened provision did not give evidence of obvious anomalies in the development of the procedure nor of incontrovertible preliminary deficiencies suitable to support, before reaching to the complete validation of the merits, the suspension of the contested measures, also taking into account the stringent conditions to which the granting of precautionary measures is reconnected in the presence of interventions concerning strategic infrastructures.
