November 9, 2015
Trasportounito considers that the contents of the protocol undersigned thursday slid from some associations of the road haulage with the representatives of the government are not other that "an heated soup"(of 6 November 2015). According to Trasportounito, the agreement, "also confirming the usual distributed economic resources helter-skelter - the general secretary of the association explains, Maurizio Longo - does not face the true structural issues that have determined crack cocaine of the Italian road haulage with unavoidable glares dramatic negatives and on street safety".
To such Trasportounito purpose has communicated the data which deduced from a first analysis to champion elaborated from a center of monitoring and analysis on the Italian road haulage and the crisis in existence that the association is setting up. Currently - the relationship evidences - they are the 83,000 companies of road haulage that turn out to be in exercise against the 195,000 of twenty years ago, reduction that it are particularly consisting in last the four years with a decrease in the number of the companies that has been pairs to 25% on a yearly basis. Moreover 25,000 enterprises are e'migre's, partially or stablily, in the East Europe with a consequent loss of 120.000 places of work in Italy and with a net loss for the advanced state treasury to the eight billions.
the relationship of Trasportounito observes that 20% of the drivers who guide heavy means in Italy are foreign, with an increasing quota often deprofessionalizzati extra-communitarian drivers, and the turnover of the workshops that would have to carry out the maintenance to heavy means record -30%. Moreover - the analysis emphasizes - 60% of heavy means travel with parks tires reduced to the bone or recycled or covered or imported from often not accredited Chinese companies low-costs and in Europe.
Second found how much from the association, is of 25% the average of the Italian companies that travel with inferior rates of 25% regarding the operating costs. "It is by now diffuse rule - Trasportounito explains - the practical one of you close and you open. Liquidation of companies that are able to not to survive and birth of a new company that finds to liquidation price means of that bankrupt one, with enormous damages for the state treasury".
Moreover at least 30% of the enterprises work not in rule, or however to the margins of the law in order to tackle to a dynamic one costs rates not bearable, and the weight of the bureaucracy also in an emergency situation is enormous: the White solo in order to record and to authorize to operate a new company - Trasportounito denunciation - employs five months.
the relationship evidences also as the Italian fleet of Tir is oldest of Europe with a medium age of advanced means to the 16 tons that are 16-year-old and of commercial means from the 3,5 to the 16 tons 19-year-old, while the European medium age is of nine years.
than More alarming the data on safety: every two days on the Italian roads a Tir is involved in a mortal incident and every day four commercial means are involved in serious incidents (cross-country vehicle, collisions, upsetting of means, etc). They are 26 leading of trucks died in the first nine months of 2015.
According to Trasportounito, in order to check the crisis and to take part on safety of the Italian roads exists a prescription of emergency in three points. For the association a modification of the Civil code is necessary that returns the drawing up written of transport contracts obligatory goods on road, putting so fine to the abuses on the under-rating and conditions of methodical exploitation of the road haulage. The zero setting of the state contributions to the companies in the first two years of exercise is necessary also, putting fine to the practical one of close-you open in existence, and must not only fix the obligation of payment to thirty days of the transport performances goods as - the association remembers - the transport on rubber is the only form of transport in Italy not to be paid to performance like happens, and, in the field fleeting for railroads, ferries, marine transport.
