Boredoms (Confcommercio): indispensable a strong action for I throw again of the field of the transports and the logistics
the crisis has heavy hit the section compromising the estate of the enterprises
October 26, 2011
Condividi

In its participation to States general of the commerce, of tourism, the services and the transports convened from Confcommercio-Enterprise for Italy, than they have held yesterday to Milan in the center of the Union of the Commerce, Tourism, the Services and of the Professions, vice-president of the Confederation, Paolo Uggè, have illustrated the effect of the economic crisis on the field of the transports and the logistics, impact that - it has emphasized - has produced not negligible consequences "that have affected on the structures of the field and the estate of the enterprises".

On one side - it has explained - the crisis has determined a "reduction of the investments in infrastructures not only of great works, how much and above all on the smaller works, that they have ulteriorly aggravated accessibility of the territories and the connection of the nets"; moreover the impact has been evidenced "on the budgets of the enterprises, that they have seen to increase the unitary costs of production for effect is of the financial burdens that of the increase of the cost of fuels. All the fields of the transport and the logistics - it has found - have accused the blow, comprised the road haulage, than today it enlivens 90% of the goods to national scale".

Vice-president of Confcommercio has listed to some data indicatives of the structural weaknesses of the national system of the transports and the logistics drawn from approved of from the Commission Infrastructures, transports, logistics and mobility (ITLM), of which Boredoms he is president: the annual cost of logistic inefficiency in Italy piles to 40 billion euros; 18 billion are at the expense of the terziario field and 10 billion euros are the annual cost of the congestion in urban areas. Moreover - it has emphasized - "the bureaucracy stops the international competitiveness: for the goods foreign that arrive in the national ports they are necessary 73 customs operations making head to 16 various offices".

""The economic crisis has made to lose six years of increase of the transport goods on the road" - of Confcommercio has remembered vice-president - is the title of the recent publication of the Eurostat with which diffuse and the last data available relative to the transport are commented goods on rubber in Europe of according to trimester of 2010. To total level, in fact, the transport of goods on rubber in according to trimester of 2010, also recording an improvement regarding the trimester precedence, has been arranged on the book values in 2004. In the passage from 2008 to the 2009 international traffics in Italy they have recorded a reduction of 24%, that is means every four of the fleet is firm in garage".

"The data of traffic of the highway net - it has specified - confirm the exposed scene: in the 2008 traffic of heavy means it has been of about 20,5 billion vehicle-kilometer (kilometers covered from the heavy vehicles on the highway net in Italy), in 2009 is come down to 18,8 billion vehicle-kilometer, with a reduction of 8.3%. In the 2010 traffic it is gone back to 19,5 billion vehicle-kilometer remaining, but, always inferior to the levels of 2008 (- 5%)".

"Also in transport marine - it has continued Boredoms - the pointer of the time and the increase is returned behind six-year-old, with an amount of goods altogether journeyed in the Italian ports pairs to that of 2004. The traffics of container in the main Italian ports are returned to the values of 2005 with about million container (teu) lost ones in 2010 regarding 2007".

"The picture that emerges from the analysis from the rail shipment - has denounced - it is, then, still gloomier for the structural difficulties of the section I yield of organizational and regolatorie rigidities. The total railway traffic of goods in 2010 has reached 18.616 million tons for kilometer with a contraction of 26% regarding 2007. For giving an idea it is as if on a freight train of 12 wagons three of these they had had to remain empty in the warehouses. In the single national traffic the situation is still more serious: returning to the train type with 12 wagons, very four have gone some lost between 2007 and 2010".

"The cold shower - it has added Boredoms - has not saved not even the aerial transport, where the activity cargo, although in a recent trend of fast development (+61% between the 2002 and 2007 increment of the goods transported), has marked a contraction of the activities in 2010 of 9% regarding 2007".

Vice-president of Confcommercio has evidenced as the contribution to the Gross Domestic Product one of the transport services, "place pairs to 100 that of 2007, has arranged itself in 2010 to 94,8 with a contraction of beyond five points percentages", while "on the front of the natality/mortality of the enterprises is necessary to emphasize that the field you transport and storage has altogether recorded from the 2008 to the first semester of a 2011 balance negative between new registrations and cancellations of enterprises in the registries of the Chambers of Commerce, of about -24.000 enterprises. Concentrating itself in the field of the road haulage on account third party - it has specified - the number of the enterprises totals enrolled in relative the white one in 2010 is come down to 156.770 with a reduction regarding 2008 of beyond 16.000 units, pairs to 9.5%".

On the road haulage Boredoms it has illustrated the results of a specific investigation lead in 2010 on the enterprises of the field, from which it turns out that, "under the technical-operating profile, about 35% of the enterprises it has declared to have seen to contrare in the last three years the kilometric distances. Such decrement - it has explained - has accompanied also to a minor presence of the national haulers on the international routes and therefore to a loss of foreign market shares. One finds in fact that a company on three declares to have reduced own concerning distances the services of transport in communitarian within. By the organizational-functional point of view, permane consisting the number of enterprises that assign to the "logistics" an important and essential thing role of rationalization of the entire system of mobility of the goods, but for the economic difficulties experienced, are reduced the quota companies that has invested (only 15%) or that it intends to invest in logistics (around 10%). In economic-financial terms - it has continued Boredoms - the situation appears sure not encouraging. More of the half of the enterprises (beyond 54%) it declares to quickly have an sensitive lowering of the levels of turnover. This means therefore that the quota enterprises that have recorded a reduction of the own "turnover" almost is doubled regarding 2008 when it number itself in 30%. On the contrary, one is more than halved the number of companies that have recorded turnover increments: in the 2008 such companies they represented 28% while in 2010 of it they constitute a quota pairs to 13.5%".

Trend negative also for the occupation: "based on the detections of the Istat - it has confirmed Boredoms - the number of man-work unit totals in the field of the services of transport from 2008 to the 2010 has been reduced of 4%, with a total loss in terms of man-work unit standard of 60.000".

To conclusion of its participation vice-president of Confcommercio has wished a strong action for throws again of the field: "he is obvious - it has observed - as in this total scene not are spaces for selective policies of transport, of adjustment or coasting trade. Politics of the Transports with capital P, understanding as with of the finalized participations increasing accessibility of the territories, and through of it the competitiveness of the economic systems - it has emphasized - acquire greater importance: it is more properly Political Economic all-round. The imperative, therefore, to avoid restrictive and recessive dispositions becomes still more fort. It is not time of other brakes, it is not time of other tolls or "cartoons". It is not time of others ecopass, is not time of other prohibition of circulation, is not time of other limits to the competition in the railroads, local public transport or city mobility. It is necessary, instead, to push on the accelerator, in order to put the field in condition at best for carrying out the precious support activitie to the competitiveness of the system Country".
