Today the assembly of the Chamber of Deputies, with 383 favorable ballots, 39 contrarys and an abstainer, has approved of in definitive way the bill in parliament, already approved of last month from the Senate ( on 19 September 2012), regarding it ratifies it and the execution of Protocollo of performance of the Convention for the protection of the Alps of 1991 in the within of the transports.

"For how much she concerns to public transport - the reporter of the provision has remembered, pidiessino Franco Narducci - Protocollo previews, in the first place, the potenziamento of ecocompatibili systems of transport. Therefore, the railway structures and infrastructures must be improved around great transalpine projects, than, besides the main aces, the other points of the net and the several terminals will hold in the debit account also. Of vital ecological importance - it has found - it is, obviously, the passage on track of the transport goods in the alpine arc. In matter of street transports - it has specified Narducci - article 11 of Protocollo, what it has been lend to arguments, sometimes also a lot ignited, and that it has always constituted the profile of greater criticality in the course of the examination parliamentarian, fixed the engagement of the contracting parts to abstain itself from the construction of roads of great communication for the transalpine transport, while to some conditions it is only allowed the realization of street projects of great communication for the transport intralpino. I hold to emphasize that the matter in question has been at this point object of a examination in particularly deepened center parliamentarian, as have confirmed the auditions carried out in Commission foreign policies is of institutional subjects is of the interested categories. To this point - it has concluded Narducci - priority relief assumes the requirement to complete a procedure of ratifies that date by now from on October 31, 2000, whose lack puts in serious difficulty our Country, than, as famous, accommodates - this me seems worthy of relief - the secretariat of the Convention for the protection of the Alps and it has hardly assumed some, with minister Clini, the presidency".

"The government - the undersecretary to Infrastructures has declared and transports, Guido Improta - considers that, thanks to the activity carried out in this branch of the Parliament, it is successful effectively, with the solution of the agenda, to contemperare the requirement to reach he ratifies also of Protocollo Transports - than, with the exception of the others 11 protocols of performance of the Convention for the protection of the Alps, was written off in occasion of the approval of the bill of ratifies in 2009 - with the opportunity to dispel every doubt on the fact that this Protocollo could represent for Italy - only Country for which the crosswalk of the Alps he is vital, being single via earthling of connection with international the only market European - an ulterior ostativo factor for own competitiveness. Two, in particular - it has found Improta - the withins regarding which the civil contract regulations aroused the greater worries for the their potential effects distorted to you and asymmetric: the impossibility to construct to new transalpine street aces and intralpini and the internalizzazione of the external costs. We consider useful to obviate to these profiles of uncertainty with the solution proposed from the Chamber and, therefore, we manifest our assent in receiving the proposed agenda".

Satisfaction for the today's free way to the Chamber of the bill in parliament for it ratifies of Protocollo Transports, with an agenda that contains reserves in its application, is expressed by ANITA, the association of Confindustria that represents the larger enterprises of road haulage in Italy and that last month it had sped up the deputies not to approve of the bill in the form exited from the examination of the Senate ( on 21 September 2012).

"The approval of the agenda - the ANITA president has explained, Eleuterio Arcese - represents an just compromise between the requirement for our Country of having to ratify and the necessity to assure the free circulation of the goods". "We have supported with force - Arcese has remembered - the necessity not to ratify Protocollo or at least to insert reserves to it ratifies, in order to safeguard our economic system from the consequences that the acceptance of the provision would have involved on the ability to cargo handling in the international traffic. We recognize the attention that the government has turned to the section, listening some the worries and receiving of the proposals. With the agenda, in fact - he has emphasized the ANITA president - the government is engaged to sift in application phase the measures introduced from Protocollo, being taken into consideration the peculiarities of Italy, only Country for which the crosswalk of the Alps is vital, being the single one via earthling of connection with international the only market European".

"Moreover - it has continued Arcese - the clarification that ratifies it does not prejudice the possibility to realize street projects on the Italian territory and that the relative dispositions to the internalizzazione of the external costs are from referring to the communitarian picture, it goes in the direction which wished by ANITA. Al beyond the issue tied to the infrastructure construction new - it has concluded - is important to assure on those already existing the street circulation of the goods, already put to hard test from constraints introduced from the Countries of the alpine arc, from the increment of the tolls previewed from the Eurovignette directive and the prohibition of circulation in vigor".
