ECGs invokes renews of the incentives to destruction of the motor vehicles



ECGs (The Association of European Vehicle Logistics), the European association of the companies that operate in the field of the transport of motor vehicles, has invoked renews of the incentives to destruction of obsolete means to the aim to throw again the sale of car in Europe.

The association has evidenced that the marked fall of the Italian and French question is a sign of difficulty for Europe: "recent statistics of France and Italy - president of ECGs, Costantino Baldissara has explained - show us that a serious decrease in the sale of new cars is on and that all this could have repercussions on already worried European economy".

ECGs refers to the last alarming data about the registration of new cars in returned Italy publics to the term of the February month: according to UNRAE (National Union Representatives Vehicles Foreign countries), that it represents the foreign automotive houses in Italy - has remembered the association - the registrations in February are dropped of 18.9% (130,661 new registrations) and, after the worse one turned out of last the twenty years recorded last January, the relative data to the registrations in the first two months of the 2012 mark less a 17.8%, if confronted to the equivalent period in 2011.

Moreover UNRAE for sales previews a decrease of 22% of 2012, than they would attest to 1.370.000 cars sold in a year causing a loss of about 10.000 places of job in the industry, from the workers in the plants to the concessionaires, from the mechanics to the logistic operators. The consequent loss of turnover for the previewed industry is pairs to 13 billion euros (with a decrease of revenue returns legacies to the VAT of about 2,3 billion euros).

ECGs has found that the situation of other European States is similar to that Italian: the registrations in France are dropped of beyond 20% in January, in other nations which Reign Unito and Spain levels of sale are recorded many low. Europe has lost in total a -6,6% regarding January 2011.

"A devastating impact is risked - it has emphasized Baldissara - on the occupation and the economic activity of the industry, with an effect to chain on the entire European economy. The incentives to destruction have already worked in the past, supporting the question in not easy periods and helping the industry in difficulty until when the sales are not shared. If very structured, the incentives can work newly".

The association has evidenced that this obvious bending of the market is accompanied by an increase of the demands for renews of the incentives for the substitution of the vehicles with more ten-year-old in Europe, politics that ECGs supports to full load: "we look to Germany - Baldissara has said - where these incentives have been of support in a difficult period and where, in spite of the crisis, the production is increased by 3 4,5 million to car per year. The industry of the car is one of the main sources of employment, beyond to being an increase generator, and its health is vital for the entire European economy".

"With the reintroduzione of incentives very structured faces to destruction of the older vehicles - he has observed Baldissara - the European governments will supply a remarkable support to this critical industry, pushing at the same time are the increase that the fiscal returns. Moreover, rimuovendo part of 55 million the vehicles with more ten-year-old from the streets European, would wind down the emissions and would increase to safety, to set upright again therefore the atmosphere in which all we live and work".
