Assologistica asks transparent and objective criteria for the handlers in the Italian airports
Mearelli: it is in existence a perverse game is straziando the budgets of the operators of the field
December 5, 2012
The state of the aerial cargo in Italy is indefensible. It supports Assologistica: remembering to have for a long time evidenced the intollerabilità of the situation, the president of the association, Carlo Mearelli, it explains that “now the sign is being exceeded” and denunciation the “worrisome level of distortion reached in the Italian airport field to the detriment of the enterprises of handling of the aerial cargo”.
“Italy - Mearelli specifies - is not in the conditions for putting into effect openings generalized in the airports. Logic of 96/67 communitarian directive and its national recepimento of the '99 big European players are a clear made operation to small table from the airlines”. “Those that is happening here - continues the president of Assologistica - contraddice the remainder of Europe. While ENAC puts the spilletta of liberalizzatore, the airport enterprises close or are forced to fire in order to survive, because this “process” in Italy happens in absence of a flagship company of reference of the field of the cargo, in a position to autoprodurre the services to earth”.
“Communitarian Countries like France, Great Britain, Germany and Holland - Mearelli accusation - strongly protect own airlines on the national territories, while in Italy, instead, those same companies, condition and distort to the market putting between they in a feracious competition the handlers. This perverse game is straziando the budgets of the handlers, forcing them to continuous rivisitazioni of the rates to the decrease, than by now they are not more gainful, putting to risk safety and places of work”.
Assologistica finds moreover that “this most serious situation ulteriorly is impoverished by the operators who work outside from the Italian airports, handlers of second level, than for a long time they drain traffic to the Italian system and feed the activities of the foreign airlines with the transport via truck towards the airports of Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris and that today they push in order to enter”.
“But in order to open the markets - Mearelli emphasizes - they want critical masses to us in a position to supporting the fixed costs that endure the societies of handling airport, and these volumes at the moment not are realized by no Italian airport”.
Assologistica concludes announcing that, “representing the Italian vituous system that has preferred the rules of the airport to those artatamente placed outside sedime, it intends to denounce in every center the approach that carries towards the poverty of our airports”. In particular, the association “asks to ENAC and the ministry to as soon as possible open an investigation on the capacity of the losses produced to the Italian economy from the goods aviation camionate”. Moreover Assologistica “asks to ENAC and the ministry to bring back the goods in the Italian airports, leading back the market on equal rules to those of the European system”.
Specific Assologistica to consider “these actions for being able priority to open to the topic of the free competition in Italy and Europe, being interrupted the part of spectators while the European competition, in absence of rules - the association observes - continues to fagocitare the economy and the occupational ability to our airports”.
