Sagis: "Regarding the tariffs, we must remove containers from supervision"

Sagis also said that when employees will have shares and options in the Ashdod Port Company, labor relations will improve
 
"The process of privatization of the port will solve all the important disputes that face the ports sector, and that are stopping the continued promotion of the reform." Said Mr. Sagis. The CEO of the Ashdod Port Company also spoke about labor relations at the port, and said that when employees will have shares and options in the Ashdod Port Company, labor relations will improve.
 
At the International Conference and Convention Port2Port 2008, Shuki Sagis, the CEO of Ashdod Port Company, said that "Real privatization of the ports will take place in 2020. This is the plan and this is the reform. In 2010, 15% of the companies will be issued. I propose that the government, together with the Corporations Authority, lead the establishment of teams for the promotion of the privatization, the first stage of which will take place in 2010. This must be done immediately and now."
 
Sagis pointed out that "the process of privatization of the port will solve all the important disputes that face the ports sector, and which are stopping the continued promotion of the reform. We must act toward determining a new target for the privatization and not do it in stages."
 
In relation to the reform in tariffs, Sagis pointed out that "the issue is problematic. I propose, regarding the tariffs, to take the area of containers and remove it from supervision, and we don't need to be afraid of this. This will lead to strengthening the competition between the ports."
 
On the issue of labor relations at the port, Sagis said that "labor relations is a very complex issue that the reform has not solved so far. I am certain that the privatization will solve it when the employees will have shares and options, and their connection to the organization and its success will be stronger."
