CNA-Fita denunciation the conflict of interest of Palenzona, president of the highway concessionaires and honorary president of FAI-Conftrasporto
the association wonders because the government does not impose increases to the highway concessionaires and programs you cut to the remorse of the octrois for the haulers
September 29, 2014
CNA-Fita wonders because Renzi and its government, than - the association of the road haulage emphasizes - "they are engaged to retrieve resources cutting all possible, a praiseworthy action if made with criterion", "against this necessary one and just activity anti wastes, the Prime Minister must renounce to a 1-2% of increase of the canon paid from the highway concessionaires to the State, correspondent to various million tens euro". "An increase - CNA-Fita finds - magically "disappeared" from the last version of I decree Unblocks Italy".
"If on one side in fact renunciation to embed so conspicuous resources - denunciation the association - from the other, incomprensibilmente, the government would want to impose to the road haulage a cut on the front of the reimbursement of the octrois, a real provocation, than the enterprises of the field, already hardly tried from a competition of the countries of the east that can count on decidedly more competitive operating costs, difficultly could put up with".
"The reasons - CNA-Fita observes - are simple and easy riassumibili: Italy has the taxation on fuels higher of Europe and that restitution is the only palliative that fixes a ceiling price these crowds withdrawal of money; in more, the reimbursement in question, is disciplined own by a communitarian directive".
"Now, by virtue of this possible curtailment of the octrois - denunciation still CNA-Fita - the association of representation of the road haulage of which Fabrizio Palenzona he is the honorary president, beyond obviously to being AISCAT president (the association of the highway concessionaires, ndr), the FAI-Conftrasporto, prepares itself to incite the category, being made it to threaten the block of the Tir before Christmas, in order to carry at home instead the true objective: I renew of the highway concessions".
"On this thematic one - CNA-Fita continues - we will judge the credibility of the government. As association we propose to maintain the reimbursement for the octrois to the road haulage, avoiding the cut of 15%, to about 250 million euros, previewed pairs from the law of Stability last year. In exchange it would be enough to transform the current 250 million destined bottoms to the recovery of the tolls for the road haulage, in reductions in price to make to directly distribute the concessionaires. In this way the reimbursement of the tolls would not be more at the expense of the fiscality of the State and moreover the advantage for the road haulage would become immediate. In other European Countries - CNA-Fita specifies - it works already so and for once this could be mutuare from they that works".
"To the highway concessionaires - CNA-Fita concludes - every year intolerable tariff increases are recognized. The government, if he must renew to it and lengthen the concessions to it, asks it the just canon and the face to distribute the reductions in price to the conveyors. The true one "to be able hard" - second the association - is Fabrizio Palenzona that, through its I trust equerry from the "thought weak person" Paolo Uggè (president Fai-Conftrasporto), is prepared to stage the umpteenth farce, that of firm threatening of the road haulage that will be concluded as always: little modicums for the category and the umpteenth increase of the tolls to January".
