As stated in the progress report for the previous period, the various project partners have worked on subcomponents depending on the context in which they operate. An example is the subcomponent Harbours that as in the case of the Province of Novara, of course, has played a marginal role in 'evolution of the work for this phase. Consequently, in some cases, the feasibility study has led to the preparation of a document focused on one of the subcomponent. Issues related to studies have been the subject of several exchanges between the various partners and the manager of the technical project. In the Steering Committee Meeting in Genoa, all the various partners have shown the progress of the proposed studies. At that time, the scientific coordinator commented on the presentations, introducing suggestions for the implementation and completion of the activity.Next key steps for the projectAfter the Steering Committee Meeting in Koper (September 18, 2012) and the second dissemination Conference September 19, 2012), a new newsletter will be prepared by the Consell General de Cambres de Comerç de Catalunya. The feasibility studies will be the subject of the second publication by TCCI. Also the last phase of the project Strategies will start. Finally SC Ltd will develop the database foreseen by the Application Form.
