Printing-Book binding: KETHEA SCHEMA+CHROMA printing unit of Therapy Center for Dependent Individuals s counsellor in charge of European policies for the Province of Novara, during the first periods of the project I have had the opportunity to follow step by step the development of the project A“LOSAMEDCHEM - How could the logistics and the safety of the transports of chemicals be im- proved in the Mediterranean area”. This publication represents the results of the first phase of the project, which is implemented in the framework of the EU Transnational Cooperation Programme “MED” and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund. As Lead partner, I strongly believe that LOSAMEDCHEM is a significant occasion of development for all the involved areas. The publication at issue is an opportunity for the dissemination of the results of this initial phase in which the partners have carried out a SWOT analysis within their territory and that has led to the identification of Best Practices. Moreover, I would like to underline the importance of this phase as a basis for the development of subsequent phases of the project. Furthermore, through the development of those phases I hope that it could be possible to obtain benefits for the areas involved by the project. Finally, I think that LOSAMEDCHEM will achieve concrete results and I am sure that, through the efforts of all partners, such an objective will be reached. Indeed, the concreteness in results is a priority for us: this is because it is the only way to produce benefits to the territories involved in the project. So I wish a successful continuation of the project for all the partners.
