Manifest ANITA worry for the possible loss of the ecobonus
The prompt association a political and hard decided participation of minister Passera near the EU commission
April 27, 2012
. The road haulage enterprises - the association explains - are in alarm for the risk that ecobonus, the incentive given to the haulers in order to transfer the goods by sea, can vanish: the demand for approval of the ecobonus for years 2010 and 2011, in fact, is blocked by various months to the examination of the EU commission.
"We are a lot worried - the ANITA president explains, Eleuterio Arcese - than still has not arrived the authorization from Brussels. For years he is asked to head for the intermodal transport in order to decongest the roads and to guarantee the respect of the atmosphere. And we have made it. Now that the enterprises have invested engaging itself on organizational economic plan and to transfer own vehicles on the ships, paventa the risk that the incentive can jump".
"We do not succeed to comprise - Arcese continues - because the EU commission that a lot promotes the resource to the intermodal transport, places obstacles to a project that the same communitarian institutions have considered a good practice to follow in all Europe. Moreover, the difficulties found in the obtaining of the reimbursement for years 2010-2011, induce to us to be worried that in future analogous measures can fail in support of the intermodal transport".
Arcese remembers that "the ministry of Infrastructures and Transports has confirmed in a diffuse note in recent days that the ministry of the Economy and Finances is arranging the necessary variations budgetary for the allocation of the deep ones for the ecobonus. However, this not enough. It is necessary the green light of Brussels".
"It is necessary therefore - the ANITA president concludes - a political and hard decided participation of minister Passera so that the EU commission grants the authorization in order to at least unblock the already destined resources to the ecobonus".
