Letter by Special Commissioner Costa to then Defense Minister Arturo Parisi on the need to eradicate the local opposition to the base as well as how to circumvent the Minister of the Environment’s intention of subjecting the project to an environmental impact study. [emphasis added] 

Vicenza, September 17, 2007

 

Distinguished Sir

Honorable Professor Arturo PARISI

Minister of Defense

 

Dear Minister, dear Arturo,

 

The time has come for a final decision regarding the expansion project of the U.S. military base at the Dal Molin Airport in Vicenza. 

 

This is a decision that can now be made by taking advantage of the groundwork done in the past months by the Commissioner (which has been summarized by the Director of GENIODIFE, General Resce) and that must now be made in order to establish a positive momentum for the completion of the project and eliminate the elements of local opposition at its roots.
