December 28, 2016
CNA Fita wishes a freezing of the tolls highway rates and has turned to the minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Graziano Delrio, the demand not to grant in the 2017 no increase of the tolls to all the highway concessionaires in order to so facilitate the resumption of the traffic of the goods.
The association of the artisan haulers has evidenced that with the new year it seems destined to arrive also the customary increase of the highway tolls, increase that - it has denounced CNA Fita - is attended "by Gavio, Benetton, Toto and others, that is the gentleman of the freeways, than through their demands for tariff increments they continue to drain the meager liquidity of enterprises and citizens", while - has found the association - "the most recent Aiscat analyses (the association of the concessionary societies of freeways and tunnel, ndr) bring back to us, in the last year, a traffic of heavy means in increase and therefore it still seems more unwarrantable a rise that would go to depress a bound positive tendency to the economic resumption and the exchange of the goods".
"Today as in recent years - Cinzia Franchini has asserted, national president of CNA Fita - we continue to immediately demand a freezing of the increases demanded from the concessionaires who impatterebbero in the economic accounts of the road haulage enterprises that are the strap of distribution of the resumption, even though weak person, of our country".
"The concessionaires - Franchini has explained - have enjoyed in the last decade, as he has many times over evidenced the same Authority of the Transports, of tariff increments anniversaries that go beyond the economic averages of other fields and the same inflation. For example in last the 13 years, on A24 and A25, the tolls have grown of 187%. A treatment of exception that would be opportune to reserve to those companies that every day face the enterprise risk and is not guaranteed by reassuring concessions of State".
