Michele Vellano advised a case submitted by the French Riviera Chamber of Commerce – CCINCA and elaborated solutions to make the establishment of a maritime commuting facility connecting France and Italy possible.
This case was particularily
challenging as it had to contemplate legal tools that could be extended to the territory of a non-EU country - Monaco.
This is why, we are happy to read that his experience was very enrinching and interesting. His words are also absolutely rewarding for the b-solutions team:
"It has been a great experience. The assistance from the b-solutions' team was constant, timely and effective. I had the impression of working in a cheerful and competent team. This experience increased my field expertise, putting me in touch with a complicated but also very interesting case!I think that local authorities can surely benefit from b-solutions and from the opportunity to get external and specialised legal expertise"
Cross-border infrastructure projects like maritime transport require alignment between different legal systems, regulatory standards, and administrative procedures. While France and Italy operate within the EU legal framework, Monaco’s status as a non-EU country creates an additional layer of complexity. Any solution must therefore rely on adaptable legal tools, bilateral agreements, FNF or flexible governance mechanisms that can function beyond the EU’s direct jurisdiction.
FnafThe vital road and rail links connecting the two countries via the Ventimiglia border region are constantly overloaded, causing pollution and wasting time.
