Trasportounito, the discouragement of the reductions in price on the octrois is the final blow for the Italian road haulage
Longo: the risk is that the entire category becomes protagonist of this time indeed ingestibile protest
September 23, 2014
To reduce of dry 15% in a blow only the reduction in price on the octrois means to condemn to death those little that it remains of the Italian road haulage. The Trasportounito denunciation emphasizing as once again the section risks to being penalized from a provision that the government gets ready to assume, in ottemperanza to communitarian indications, but - the trade-union association of the road haulage specifies - in wide advance payment and without some mediation regarding how much the other countries EU are prepared to make.
It is highest - the general secretary of Trasportounito admonishes, Maurizio Longo - the risk "that the bench jumps and that the entire category becomes protagonist of this time indeed ingestibile protest". The national octrois, without to count therefore the additional ones to regional level - the association remembers - record for 214 euros every thousand liters of fuel; that every means 214 euros 2600 kilometers about of distance. Until today, the reduction in price on the octrois, "paid" quarterly to the road haulage enterprises has represented, on one side, the only system of compensation for the outage of the so-called professional diesel oil, from the other, flies in order to allow with the enterprises to cover the social burdens.
For the Italian road haulage - Trasportounito explains - the blow is double and also perhaps triple, since the national enterprises endure already industrial costs and fiscal pressure between highest than Europe.
"Not to comprise the value of the game at stake - Longo finds - it means to ignore how much fragile and almost nonexistent they are by now the margins of survival of the Italian companies of transport goods, than, perhaps, they could succeed to put up with a reduction of the reductions in price on the octrois spread at least on five years, as proposes Trasportounito, against a reimbursement salary; and parallel the destination of use of part of the resources own to the conservation of the reductions in price allocated under the title aids to the road haulage on the octrois".
"Not to comprise the value of the game at stake - the secretary of Trasportounito restates - it means also not to understand how much wide one and makes compact could be the protest in front of a provision that has the characteristic hours of a highly summarized execution".
