236 FOREIGN TRADE ZONES are no separate statistics available regarding this trade. A very large part of the import trade of Genoa may be described as a *‘trans- shipment’ trade, for only a small proportion of the total remains in the city or district, most of it going to the various cities of northern [taly and through to Switzerland and central Europe. Statistics of this kind of movement through the free zone have not been com- piled and consequently are not available. Only the figures for the total traffic are kept. Manufacturing in the zone—Due to lack of space, and perhaps for other reasons, the only manufacturing which takes place in the free zone is in the grading of goods and the bottling and canning of various kinds of foodstuffs, as well as the refining and blending of edible oils, mentioned above. It is entirely probable that, when the proposed extension of the zone has taken place, manufacturing activities in a small way may be taken up, but at the moment there do not appear to be any definite plans in this direction. Shipbuilding.—No shipbuilding or ship repair work of any kind is carried out in the zone, and the plan for the extended zone does not mention these activities. Influence of the zome.—In its broader aspects it is very doubtful whether the free zone has influenced in any visible degree the develop- ment of the Italian merchant marine, but it is entirely probable that it has had its effect on certain items entering into the trade of the port as a whole. Heretofore it has been far too small in area, and one of the principal reasons why it is to be so greatly enlarged is in the hope that it will attract a large reexport and transshipment trade to this port, and there is no reason to doubt that it will, providing the facilities are adequate and the charges remain reasonable. REGULATIONE FOR THE FREE ZoNml FREE ZONE AND SECTIONS OF THE FREE ZONE AnrricLe 1. By decree of the Ministry of Finance, dated January 22, 1877, the administration of the free zone of the port of Genoa is intrusted to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Genoa. The chamber of commerce operates its own warehouses, and those the conces” sion of which is subject to special permit from the Government, and those rented to private concerns; it also supervises the remaining privately owned warehouse in accordance with the terms and stipulations of the regulations. ART. 2. For the carrying out of the foregoing functions the chamber of co merce appoints a special board with diseretional powers for guaranteeing the good order and the proper working of the free zone. The personnel of the chamber of commerce must enforce the rules set forth bY the board. 1 Translated and forwarded with the report of Consul General H, P. Starrett, preceding.
