CAPRI – Talking about the South to talk about Italy. Assuming that “the South is not only half of the country, but its metaphor.” With the same problems of the North, but amplified. Mark Gay begins this way in his speech at the conference of the Young entrepreneurs in Capri, arrived at the finish line of the thirtieth edition: chose the South as a topic of debate, identifying as the title “Italian Heritage.”

And the day after the launch of the stability law alleges a lack of attention by the government against the South: “Where is the master plan announced in August? We read that it would be a set of measures that are worth around 150 million euro this year, on a financial worth 30 billion, “said Gay. There are tax credits for new investments and expansions, one for research, development contracts, “as expected.” He then added: “This is too little, almost useless.” It serves a “positive shock”. And again: “You can talk about a master plan for the South without having a business plan for the whole of Italy? For two years we ask that a draft industrial policy, involving in designing those in the South work and do business, and not just the government. “

You have to immediately cut taxes on work and business, asks the president of the Young Entrepreneurs. That, in the financial, urges “decision and clarity ‘can not be used shells” dancers “fund migrants to reduce the IRES. Serve certain coverages, it emphasizes Gay, for a measure that “does not touch only the SMEs or the South or that starts from 2017, but that concerns all businesses, from the start, and that is worth 5 points.” Decide which lower taxes “is only a political choice.” The conviction of the president of the Young is that the priority is lower them at work and on companies, from the start, in 2016. “The government has chosen instead to lighten those of 45 thousand villas and castles.” Okay, indeed “very well” for the Gay superammortamento, “but we lower taxes on those who produce, because it is a factor of competitiveness, attraction of foreign investment, stimulate exports.” You can not however, “continue to tax and demoralize those who invest, those who produce, those who work, those who do business, who runs the country. The real asset is about them. ” According to Gay, it should be taxed “those living annuity, who still has assets, who blocks the emergence of a market for venture capital. To Italy, now more than ever, we need a vision of a statesman and not a politician. “

Gay has listed the five points are essential for the revival of the South: digitization, industry, tourism, culture and infrastructure. No need for incentives to rain, “special recipes and short term”, because act selectively and contingent on taxes or contributions “produces only cathedrals of the desert and the South really do not need.” And you need to focus on the industry, which is ‘necessary’, an innovative, for example “knows how to seize the legacy of the Expo,” announcing that Young will present a project.

Gay passed reviewing disability in the country. For example, the energy: Italy should be a gas hub for the whole of Europe, and instead there are governors who submitted a referendum against the rules that unlock drilling, going behind the Committees not. Factors that penalize the industry, at a time when the recovery is strengthening across the Eurozone. We can not afford other cases Volkswagen, said Gay. Rather, it should be strengthened safety legislation and origin of products, from Made in.

You can not even ignore respect for the law: there is too much and wrong, on the one hand, or is absent or incapable. The first law, Gay said, is what’s stopping yards, plastered the works, the result of a judiciary “that does not know and does not understand the business.” Only that “if we do not make possible the economic and legal redemption of the South, we make inevitable the illegal economy.” Resources confiscated dishonesty, 60 billion, must be made a resource for the country and not a cost. They have to be readmitted on the market. It must also deal with the topic of immigration: “Without immigrants Italy would not do, would not do the public accounts and businesses.” The goal is an increase of 2 percent. It is to act: “We can do it and we’ll make it.”
