Transports: finally/accidents the wait/another Authority (1)



Certainly that Italy is a narcotic country. We are a nation that leads years of battles in order to institute a new Authority of regulation, than scrambles to obtain of the center, than it is felt sorry and that one outrages for the criteria and the decisions of nomination of its managing organs. But we are also a nation (always the same one: Italy) that the simplification invokes, that implores the sburocratizzazione, than denunciation the proliferation of agencies and the overlap of competences between various state, regional, provincial and communal institutions and between the their numberless organisms.

He is indeed incredible: this that Italian we before consider absolutely necessary, indeed indispensable for the correct and efficient operation of sections of the economy and the society then we deem it useless, superfluous or quite harmful and uneconomical.

For the Authority of regulation of the transports we are to the first phase.

In these hours Turin it celebrates because in all probability it will have the center of the Authority of the transports. The announcement is diffused last night by the senator pidiessino Stefano Esposito who has announced the green light of the assembly of Palazzo Madama to the amendment that places the center in the Piedmontese chief town. "A great victory - it has emphasized the Piedmontese Esposito - of the Piedmontese senators and all Piedmontese the institutional and economic system. A battle nothing at all easy, full of insidie and traps".

A battle between bell towers - exactly - sure almost won from Turin as the governmental provision that ingloba the decision on the center of the Authority will return to the Chamber where probably will come mail the confidence.

Here to Genoa defeat air is not breathed perhaps because it is not wanted to be admitted simply or because the defeated ones are in vacation. Also the capital of Liguria aimed at to the center of the Authority and if it had obtained it would express identical manifestations of rejoicing.

With the increasing I discredit of which they enjoy the political institutions, the Authorities acquire power. The Authorities are the new panaceas that cure all the evils. If something does not work, Italian we supply to name who will charge himself to make to march it. He does not interest to us at all if between those institutions discredited are organs that could make the same job having some also the competences.

Between those of the Authority of regulation of the transports there are, for example, those to guarantee fair and not discriminatory conditions of access to railway, harbour, airport infrastructures and to the highway nets, to define the criteria for the fixation of rates, canons and tolls and to verify the their correct application, to establish the minimal conditions of quality of the services of transport connoted from burdens of public service and to define the outlines of the notices of the contests for the allocation of the services of transport in exclusive right and of the conventions.

To these competences others come abreast some to many. The many, very many of the tasks assigned to the Authority of the transports are the same ones attributed to varied institutions, before between all the Ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports.

The Authority of the transports will have an organic plant of 80 units and will be financed in the next few years with contributions at the expense of the managers of infrastructures and the regulated services.

Perhaps we have already exceeded the first phase and are already to "phase 2". In fact we have wondered: but couldn't these competences have assigned to who to already it has us and to supply that the armies? All without battles and wars. Then a doubt is risen us. We have gone to control: on our identity card the citizenship turns out to be that Italian. Meh.
