The Prefecture, Chamber of Commerce, and the Register of Environmental Managers sign a data-sharing protocol. Prefect Di Bari: "More efficient monitoring." President Fiola: "We protect those who operate legally."
Naples – A wealth of information on over 10.500 businesses and 63 license plates will be made available to law enforcement to secure the waste cycle in the Land of Fires. This is the core of the memorandum of understanding signed today between the Prefecture of Naples, the Naples Chamber of Commerce, and the regional section of the National Register of Environmental Managers.
The agreement transforms the Register's database—the only official one in the sector—into an operational tool for preventing and repressing environmental crimes.
A digital archive for checks
Through a shared platform and a dedicated application, officers will be able to check in real time the permits, sites, and vehicles used for waste collection, transportation, and disposal.
The system will cross-reference Chamber of Commerce data with those from the Register, allowing for targeted checks on the road, at construction sites, and at plants. The goal is to crack down on the illegal waste business, which has plagued the area between Naples and Caserta for decades.
Legality pays off: support for virtuous companies
The initiative, promoted by Prefect Michele di Bari and Chamber of Commerce President Ciro Fiola, also aims to reward honest operators. "We're systematizing information to make controls more effective and, at the same time, protect businesses that comply with the rules," explained Di Bari. Fiola added: "The Chamber of Commerce isn't just a registration body: we want to be an active participant in defending the region and legality."
Training and territorial intelligence
Not just technology. The protocol includes training courses for inspectors and socioeconomic analysis projects for the region. The goal is to plan increasingly targeted interventions, transforming data into countermeasures. An integrated approach that combines prevention, repression, and sustainable development, in the knowledge that the battle against environmental crimes is also won with a culture of legality.

The agreement between the Prefecture and the Chamber of Commerce is an important step, but I don't know if it's enough to stop environmental crimes. We also need more controls and support for honest businesses that are struggling.
