The reunion is sped up by ANITA (National Association Enterprises Automotive Transports) that it has evidenced as the greater associate operators have communicated that in this week the railway intermodal traffic has been reduced of about 70%.
"A reduction so hard, moreover on a strategic axis for the economy of Italy - it has emphasized the ANITA president, Thomas Baumgartner - will have devastating effects for our Country, that it turns out to be the most damaged from this interruption. Such numbers, found when still the industrial production and the commercial exchanges I am not to full regime, supply the exact entity of a problem that risks to impattare on the entire Country, making useless the recent positive signs of resumption of the national economy and the manifacturing section in particular".
