Assologistica makes the point on the issues of national interest for the field of the logistics and the transports
Reunion of the Committee of presidency and the presidents of the Commission
March 16, 2018

The Committee of presidency and the presidents of the Commission of Assologistica recently has met with the president of the Andrea Gentile association and with the general secretary Jean Francois Daher in order to be confronted on the issues on the job carried out from every team of national interest for the field of the logistics and the transports. Nelle Commissioni of the association of the logistics enterprises, in fact, a selected number of associates debates and tries to find possible solutions to problematic regarding topics which road haulage, internationalization of enterprise, customs, sostenibilita?, consortia and cooperatives, urban logistics, intermodal transport.

In the course of the Angelo Piffer work, president of the Commission Consorzi and Cooperatives, flexibility" in the cooperative job has evidenced the importance of the "member "and logistic" that - it has found "is an advantage that we cannot afford to lose and that we must continue to analyze with all the involved parts, in order to search modality online with the continuous one to evolve itself of the requirements of the market".

In topic of customs, Stefano Morelli has emphasized among other things as the appropriate Commission by him presided is supporting, against "twenty of obscurantism" by some associations of operators, the Fast customs Corridor, instrument - he has observed - of innovation and simplification, always remembering that the goods is the magnetic needle of the commercial compass, addresses the logistic routes and choices. "We have demanded the Agency of Customs, to the aim to return the Fast Corridor better comprised and better taken advantage of - Morelli has explained - of being able to resort to this institute with any type of yield in marine bill of lading. Today - it has remembered - there is still the tie of the only document of transport. We are waiting for the new publication of the disciplinary one from wall of the Agency. We are working also in order to obtain the terrestrial pre-clearing, so as already happens for the pre-clearing in port. It will be necessary - it has found to such purpose president of the Commission Dogane - an participation of political sensitization with the next government that will not be able to esimere supporting the Agency of Customs in the role of coordinator of the customs only door and of controls SUDOCO (acronym for customs only Door and of the controls, ndr), I decree legislative 4 August 2016. Such I decree wants to extend the competence of the customs only door to all the controls connected to the entrance and the escape of the goods".

Relatively to the widest topic of the customs procedures in within EU, Morelli it has remembered that from 2nd October the unionale system of the customs decisions has entered in exercise "customs decision", that it previews the presentation in form electronic of the questions of demand for the customs authorizations, in adhesion to the opinions of the new unionale customs code, which establishes that all the demanded authorization and exchanges of information - between customs authorities let alone between economic operators and customs authorities - must be carried out through computer science procedures, comprised the recording of the same actions. Morelli has specified that the procedure of "customs decision" so as the new procedure for the demand and \ or renews of the customs accounts of debit, (deferred customs) - in vigor by 18th January and which ordered with note n. 3944/RU on January 16, 2018 - still various criticalities in the practical application anticipate. "We are having contacts and encounters with the Agency of Customs and the Monopolies - Morelli has announced - thanks to which we have revealed the uneasiness that we are living. We have also demanded the adoption of channels for the pre-emptive information, that they allow with the interested actors to get ready in advance to recepire new operating praxes that involve substantial modifications of the modus operandi sometimes, avoiding uneasiness and damages to the working activities".

The president of the Alimentary Logistic Commission, Renzo Sartori, that he is vice-president of Assologistica, has emphasized the fort engagement of the association in the cards reports profitable with the academic world and moreover he has evidenced with decision as the topic of the legality and the ethical behaviors is on the agenda of Assologistica that under consideration has a series of participations of sensitization to 360 degrees and that they will have to involve associates, committenza, consumers and prints.

About sustainable logistics Daniele Testi has spoken to the president of the appropriate Commission, evidencing the trasversalità of the topic that - it has remembered - "cannot be bordered in vertical way, but is element of opportunity in order to innovate and to be more competitive in every practical row and of the logistics". Witnesses have illustrated the activity of information in this field realized with conventions and opportunity of dissemination and formation about the main evolutions that are having impacts in obvious way on the field. "The contribution that SOSLogistica (Italian Association for the Sustainable Logistics of which Witnesses he is president, ndr) - it has announced - has the intention of carry inside Assologistica is the attention to the final consumer, the whose knowledge on the effects who own models of purchase generate on the logistic processes appears marginal and all to construct. The perception lacks on the value that the logistics brings to the produced ones of the quotidianità. A gap cultural and informative that the operators of the logistics must engage themselves to heal".

The importance of the city logistics is rimarcata by the president of the specific Commission of Assologistica, Massimo Marciani, that it has found as is "a segment of the logistics that, thanks to the explosion of the e-commerce and to contextual the progressive urbanization of the territories, will be in next the ten years in exponential increase". Marciani has remembered that in the last year in Italy the acquired producing sales of on-line have grown four times more quickly of services (+28%). Also from we - it has observed - the trend of sales is being approached more and more that of the European Countries, where the commerce on-line is mature, evolven and developed. As found from the Observatory of the Polytechnic of Milan, in these Countries in fact the sale of the produced ones attests on 70% of the entire turnover, creating regarding the past completely different scenes on the last mile and different impacts on the entire world of the logistics.

"A market - it has continued Marciani - therefore subordinate to multiple pressures by the customers (more and more timely and flexible services, almost individual and personalized), by the Municipalities (not more and not only rules of access to the ZTL, but more in general terms rules than mobility in urban areas with the objective - agreed to European level - to realize a logistics to emissions zero within 2030), by the citizens (more sustainability and minor I block of the vehicles), by the police (tracking of the vehicles that transport goods dangerous in order to reduce the risk of terrorist attacks)". All in a much dynamic context for the field of the transports and mobility generally that it previews the possibility to arrive to a complete automation of the transport (independent guide, robotics, artificial intelligence, etc) and of the warehouse (robotics, increased truth, etc) within the next decade.

"In this scene - it has concluded Marciani - Assologistica must be able to carry out an action of address and formation towards own associates, being evidenced the opportunities that this new scene offers, let alone helping the associates to develop industrial strategies in such sense. At the same time the association will have to quite carry out an evangelization and sensitization activity towards the consumers (above all through generaliste and popular channels and transmissions), to the aim to transfer the concept that the logistics (and therefore the delivery at home of a good acquired on the computerized platforms) is a service and a cost and therefore does not have to be paid in relation of the level demanded (to example delivery near locker, home delivery, delivery to the address on appointment, delivery with means to lowlands emissions, etc)".

President of the Commission Trasporti, Aldo Rosada, has stopped himself on the situation of the Italian enterprises of road haulage, on the costs minimums of exercise of the road haulage and on the times of payment. "In Italy - it has denounced - the road haulage enterprises suffer from a treacherous competition by those foreign of the East. The competition is determined by a social from wage disparity and contributive provoked dumping goods in foreign market between the workers of the East and the West of our continent. The European Union would have, in the limit of the possible one, to take part in order to reduce current the gap more, carrying Europe of the road haulage to a single speed, imposing also tightening a regulation on the cabotage”.

On the costs minimums of exercise of the road haulage, Rosada has remembered that from always the committenza they have been contrary to any regulation for law. “But for this - it has specified - it is not contrary to safety of the street circulation. To such purpose it is well to in the judgment remember the motivations of the European Law court on September 4, 2014”. Such sentence addressed to the REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE COURT of the Latium, which had raised specific prejudicial in merit, has considered that the costs determined minimums of exercise from the Observatory are not compatible with the norms of the treaty EU on the competition.

Rosada has spoken also about the problem of the times of payment: “in the presence of any ulterior reduction of such times - it has explained - the government will have to protect also the committenza, as same it does not have the necessary economic proceeds in order to exercise the role of “bank”, as often it happens with companies that embed the payments from the market to 90/120 days and must instead pay the road haulage to 30 days”.

President of the Commission Intermodal Trasporto, Eugenio Muzio, has traced a picture of the activity carried out in European within, with Assologistica that, graces to an agreement of partnership with the UIRR of Brussels, the international association European point of reference for the arranged transport road-track, has participated to a reunion indetta from MIT DG 4 in order to define with trade associations the Italian position towards the EU commission with respect to the modifications to bring to directive 106/92 Arranged Transport. Moreover Assologistica has been only representative of Italy to the organized reunion from the UIRR, united to the commissioner EU Violeta Bulc, the European Parliament in order to illustrate the salient points of the modifications that will carry important innovations for the intermodalità. All with the scope to return the field very more functional, with homogenous application rules in all the Countries of the Union and on which the parliament EU will be called to expectably deliberate within year-end.

Massimiliano Montalti, vice-president of Assologistica with delegations to Department stores and Internazionalizzazione, has communicated the outcomes of an encounter with representatives of the minister of the economic Development in relation to the update of the guarantees offered from the Department stores. “As a result of this meeting - Montalti has said - has opened a collaboration between Assologistica and the MiSE to the aim to rediscover and to revalue the position of the Department stores in Italy. We will write to the new minister, after the elections, in order to on hand put again the competences that the institution of the Department store has inborn in its essence and in order to ask to modernize the warehouse faiths, strategic instruments in a world more and more to the search of guarantees”.

Umberto Ruggerone, vice-president of Assologistica with delegation to the Interportualità, has spoken about the contribution that the association has been able to supply to the Technical Group of Job Logistic Transport and Economy of Sea (GLTEM) instituted near Confindustria, with deepenings and appraisals completed in these months of activity on the field of the logistics and the transport and on the existing and possible interactions with the Italian industrial world that has brought to light are criticality elements are possible suggestions to value.

“the GLTEM - it has specified Ruggerone - considers can be started specific actions in order to effectively take part on distortions and diseconomie of the system”. In particular, for giving to effective effectiveness to the vision of the so-called “cure of the iron” it is considered necessary that the future relative strategic choices to the implementation of the rail shipments of the goods are concentrated on the following aspects: to favor coherent infrastructural investments of system and with an only industrial plan for all the modal systems, avoiding how many more possible generalized participations lacking in organic planning; to favor integration of contiguous systems modal (sea-iron-rubber) valuing of the intrinsic characteristics, limiting useless overlaps that they generate inefficiencies; to only assign resources in aimed way and to the truths that generate development so as to become systemic and not assistenzialistico support; greater clarity by the legislator, also from the point of view of the choices and the modalities of participation for by now the unavoidable infrastructural participations (side terminal/last mile) by private.

Ruggerone has found moreover that it would be favorable that to communitarian level it made promoters us of initiatives which: to address the European policies to a true liberalization of the railway market, pulling down technical or economic barriers and penalizing the nations that slow down the process moreover, defining and implementing rules of access to only infrastructures in communitarian within; to push the several nations to a homogenous and coordinated development of the corridors IT TRY and to a concrete coordination in the management of the net IT TRY in its complex.

Moreover, from a point of view of the necessary participations to the development of national a logistic system, the Technical Group signals the necessity of: instruments of support generalized and however of effectiveness limited to the period of cover financial institution distort and limit the increase (fundamental are instead the requirement of policies and strategic choices in a position to changing, evolving them, the conditions of the market); particular attention must be mail to the modernization of the field, stimulating the investment in means and innovative technologies (from the informative flows to the independent guide, mobility electrical worker and the digital platforms); in such sense a logic rewards them of mean-along period regarding the enterprises that are engaged in concrete terms in the optimization of the logistic phases (from the modal transfer to the adoption of innovative solutions in technological and/or sustainable terms) could sortire positive systemic effects. This would allow the predisposition of the minimal conditions so that national multimodali logistic operators can structure themselves, whose absence represents a vulnus for the Italian manifacturing industry.
