In its participation in Commission the undersecretary to Infrastructures and Transports, Dear Umberto Del Basso De, has expressed to seem contrary on the amendment as - has explained - the deep ones for the field of the road haulage already heavy are curtailed in the last years and the demand is not therefore accoglibile to move ulterior resources, however in favor of the marine transport. Dear De has specified that in the within of the dedicated program to "Road haulage and intermodalità" the total appropriation is destined only for a quota to the field of the road haulage goods, moreover substantially unchanged regarding the passed years, while another part is destined to the financing of the purchase of not polluting buses for local public transport.

Philippi has emphasized also that in the past the resources allocated for this field are not distributed effectively and they have not contributed to the modernization of the section.
