Federtrasporti, the road haulage must be equipped for the emergencies, but the highway concessionaires must make circular and the prefectures to control



The Federtrasporti group remembers the necessity that in the emergency moments, as the current one caused from rigid climate and the snowed ones on great part of the Italian territory, everyone face own part: from a part "the road haulage is engaged to equip itself of all how much serves in order to travel also with the bad weather, but the freeways must be equipped with all how much serves in order to guarantee the circulation in any case. Pain a general impoverishment of the Country".

The president of the Federtrasporti group writes in an open letter, Emilio Pietrelli, in which he evidences as "prefectures and societies Freeways seem affette from an anorexic syndrome. They are convinced - it explains - than the snow, as the food for some adolescents in increase, can hurt in any case and therefore as soon as it is previewed some the reduction blocks the circulation of the vehicles from transport. Without to become account that, as it happens exactly to the anorexic ones, in the long run this abstinence or this prohibition of circulation provokes incalculable damages the single ones, to the enterprises, the entire Country. Because, if not it was still necessary to remember it - Pietrelli evidences - our economy royal palaces on the transport, as well as the maintenance of many enterprises of road haulage and many families that of these - pardoned the technical language - of are the induced one".

"Then - the president of the Federtrasporti group continues - it must make ended it. The road haulage assumes the responsibility to move the goods, of any type and in any meteorological condition, from one side to another of the territory. So, the people find alimony on the benches, the motorists do not see gasoline to leaven day after day, the factories are not forced to interrupt the assembly lines for lack of members. Because this is the task that the economy assigns to the field, for other in exclusive way, since, without wanting to get to the point, the rail shipment of the goods remains a hope that in the time more and more assumes the contours of a chimera. And if it rains and it snows the road haulage will be equipped consequently, spending and making "to wear" to the vehicles tires snow or chains. Because so the world goes. So it is made in the remainder of the world".

"On the other hand, but - Pietrelli specifies - all must make their part. And then the concessionaires of the Italian freeways must in any case guarantee the circulation. Because the roads are a wealth or, better, an infrastructure that moves wealth. If they are stopped, we become all the poor ones. Ragion for which when there is an exodus it must equip itself, in the same way of when snow is previewed; it is equipped to us of continuous the adequate instruments in order to make so that the circulation. And if the instruments cost, patience: coast also to stop the circulation. Then it means that to spend in sifter, in snowplow and how much other is equivalent to invest, because it avoids economic losses for the Country. Of that same Country that is owner of the roads that manage in concession. Also because in order to guarantee the circulation - we do not forget it - the freeways embed flower of tolls daily".

To such Federtrasporti purpose nozzle a proposal: "to not only allow the increases of the tolls in relation with the investments on the net, but also to the verification of investments in machinery actions to manage the emergencies bad weather. It cannot instead be thought - Pietrelli observes - than as is previewed snow is stopped to us. Alarmism cannot be made saying that, as tomorrow or the day after tomorrow it snows, it is better to be all at home, avoiding to enter in freeway. This speech goes well for the holidayers, not for who on the roads it works to us. And the same effort, the same assumption tenured, goes made from the prefectures, that they must distinguish the private circulation from that professional one. To the first blocks can be imposed, can be tried to discourage it from the use of the cars being upgraded public transport, but that professional one must continue to work for himself and the others. Obviously, using all the precautions and the equipment that the law imposes. Here therefore the task of the prefectures: to make to verify to the supervisory bodies that all the professional user of the freeways has tires from snow or chains and eventually to punish - also hardly - who of was sfornito".

"But if we continue to reason from anorexic, to force us to the compulsory fast of circulation - the president of the Federtrasporti group concludes - we will end slowly in order to pander to the total emaciation. And sights the conditions of our economy, are a too much great risk".
