January 3, 2014
According to Trasportounito, the increases in the authorized highway tolls in these hours from the government "risk to being insufferable for the Italian road haulage". For the association, "the crisis in existence in the Country, and the bankrupt state of the section of the road haulage returns a transparency indispensable on the contracts that regulate the relationships between the highway State and concessionaires, but especially on relationships, established from passed governments, that owners" of the highway net, regulating their cash flows allow today with the large groups ", and therefore their profits, simply acting against receipts on the lever of the rates".
The general secretary of Trasportounito, Maurizio Longo, has asked the immediate convocation by the minister for Infrastructures and of the Transports, Maurizio Lupi, he is of the associations that represent the road haulage are of those which it gives voice to the consumers. "Al minister Lupi - it has anticipated Longo - we ask with force to explain the enforced contractual conditions, the constraints to which minister and Prien Minister have subjected the State and therefore the Country and the eventual measures to undertake so that the measure is guaranteed to the Country cost/benefit of our infrastructures".
Trasportounito has emphasized that, "regarding the road haulage, the increase of the tolls that the government has indicated in 3.9% (even if in some drafts the increase does not appear justifiable) joins to increases for 16.7% junior clerks from the beginning of the crisis. All this, united to the increments in the production costs of the services (diesel oil, assurances, burdens) - it has found the association - has determined a situation for which in Italy the cost on the road of the goods is highest of Europe, exceeding abundantly the threshold dell1,5 euro/km".
"In theory - it has evidenced moreover Longo - such costs would have to be systematically overturned to the cost of the goods. In reality, the outsourcers continue to ask decreases for the rates taking advantage of the contractual weakness and the strong indebtedness of the road haulage enterprises".
