Speaking at an event held by Italy's civil aviation authority, Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile, Jankovec described the Italian system for regulating airport charges as having been, "highly ineffective". He went on to say: "There there has been a lethal combination of excessive bureaucracy, political interference and a lack of focus, in particular, as all Italian airports are regulated irrespective of whether they possess any substantial market power." Jankovec also called for, "not only an empowered single regulator with the appropriate expertise and resources, but also a rethink of when and how regulation should come into play." As highlighted by Jankovec, Italian airports are hampered by inconsistency across airport charges, with policies remaining unchanged in the decade to2012. According to ACI, the situation is preventing airports from developing, which is in turn delaying job creation and economicrecovery across Italy. New charge levels have been implemented in the larger airports in Rome, Milan, Venice, Catania and Palermo since 2012, but other airports continue to suffer. The role of an independent regulatory authority that was established in 2012 is yet to be clarified and this is another issue.
