An adapted railway infrastructure would allow with the harbour system of the Italy North to compete to weapons pairs with the nordeuropei ports



"An adapted railway infrastructure would allow with the harbour system of the Italy North of being able to compete to weapons pairs with the ports of the Europe North and to convince the great shipowning companies to choose the Italian ports of call". President Confapi has declared Transports, Riccardo Fuochi, to conclusion of a audition held yesterday near the Commission Transports of the Chamber.

Fires have announced that in the course of the Confapi audition Transports it has mentioned "that the Italian situation of the rail shipment of the goods has recorded in the biennium a 2009-2010 worrisome bending of about 38%", bending that - it has explained - I found its roots in the "structural crisis of the railway system" and in "politics of dismissione of RFI and Trenitalia Cargo. To all this - it has specified - other provisions have joined that they have aggravated the situation (directive of the 2009 prohibition and Prime Minister 7 July by RFI to carry out traffic diffused in iron reserviors from on April 1°, 2010, the emanation of new rules for maintenance of wagons riparandi)".

"We have then evidenced - it has continued Fires - as in Italy currently finalized politics do not exist to stimulate throw again of the rail shipment goods and to define sure and simple rules that allow to program for future the incisive actions in order to afford to the System Country to take advantage of the system adequately, considered that the modal conversion is one of the options hinge of politics of the European Union for the future".

"Sul topic RFI - he has found president Confapi Transports - I consider that this last one would have to allow the income on the market to other operators and therefore they would be opportune provisions that privilege simple methodologies and applicable in order to afford a solid one I use of the railway infrastructure, while this does not happen: of the Informative Prospect is an example Net of 2001, that it obligates every railway enterprise to equip itself of locomotives of aid in the nodes of the lines. This provision is to our opinion an excessive increase of costs for the single enterprises and could carry them to abandon the service, moreover to our opinion this burden would have to be in head to RFI and not to the single enterprises".

Confapi Transports has therefore exhorting the ministry of Infrastructures and of the Transports to take part more incisively in the matter being defined clear and functional rules and to supervise on I today use it of the resources in equipment to Trenitalia.

At last Confapi Transports has advanced some proposals for throws again of the rail shipment goods, between which a "contract of service so that Trenitalia restorations the directed diffuse traffic is to the connections of the industries it is to the workshops for the repair/maintenance of the wagons; actions regulated to you so that the performances of diffuse traffic are carried out by Trenitalia in a commercial logic and not, as happen currently, with rate increases tax that - denunciation the confederation - in some cases arrives to 400%; recepimento of the COTIF (international convention via which emanated from railroad the OTIF) speeding up the organisms you premail to an assumption of responsibility regarding the criticalities of the system for its lacked application; guarantee by Trenitalia, in the blackberries of the effectiveness of the Cotif and European rule ECM, the continuity in safety of the circulation of the wagons (tests after maintenance/review, technical admission, etc); reopening - through contract of service or confidence to RFI - of the OMV; callback to RFI so that dismetta or not disabiliti the ports of call goods; incentives I use it of the railway connections".

"At last - it has concluded Fires - we consider that Italy indispensable programs and start planning for all the necessary investments so that the railway infrastructure of the Italy North is adapted for functional characteristics and for shapes to how much it will be realized to North of the Alps so as it is necessary to above all define a new net of terminal in the Italy North".
