the government signature you decree for the increase of the highway rates



The minister of Infrastructures and the Transports and the minister of the Economy and Finances has signed interministerial decree that they preview the adaptations of relative the highway tolls to the highway drafts managed by the concessionary societies Brescia-Verona-Vicenza-Padua, SATAP A4 and SATAP A21, Freeways for Italy, ATIVA and Milan - Serravalle and SAT.

Remembering that such adaptations were suspended, in all or partially, with you decree 31st December signed, the ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports has specified that the previewed tariff suspensions were arranged in precautionary way, being expired the first regolatorio period and in course the procedure of update of the relative economic-financial plans, to the aim to allow with the organs premails the punctual verification of the parameters that compose the formula of the toll rate, with particular reference to those legacies to the effective course of the previewed investments. Such verifications - it has explained the ministry - have involved the necessity to bring some integrations to the enforced regolatorio picture through an participation of the CIPE on the base of an opinion emitted from the competent technical organism in matter of tariff regulation, the NARS.

Specifying that the increments therefore are authorized to the positive outcome of such deepenings, the vice minister for infrastructure and Trasporti, Mario Ciaccia, has emphasized that the increases "are necessary to assure the performance of the investments mail at the expense of each concessionary society and to guarantee the maintenance of the highway net in conditions of efficiency and safety for the users".

Hardest the comment of CNA-Fita, that it has contested the decision of the vice minister. According to the association of the road haulage, "the increase of the highway tolls for the features in concession that had remained suspended does not make that to confirm the crowds political of the increases at the expense of the street user and of the conveyors". "Vice minister Ciaccia - Cinzia Franchini has denounced, national president of CNA-Fita - has completed a real raid in favor of little and usual you notice concessionaires, iterating the puppet theater for which first it is pretended to then lavish the deep ones with a hand and with the other passes to the withdrawal of money making useless every presumed advantage. The important detail but is that the financings will arrive when hell freezes over while the increases release from quickly. If this is the technical value of viceministro the Ciaccia, it is difficult to distinguish the difference with the political figure of its predecessors".
