Hard I attack of Confetra to the Authority of Regulation of the Transports



Today, in concomitanza of the presentation by the Authority of Regulation of the Transports (ART) of the own fifth annual report to the Parliament held to Rome near the Room of Queen di Montecitorio to the presence of the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, and of the president of the Chamber, Roberto Fico, the Confetra - General Confederation Italiana of the Transports and the Logistics has moved a hard critic to ART, having sped up an overcoming or a reform of the authority.

"I counted - the president of the Confetra, Nereo Marcucci has asserted, commenting the relation of the president of ART, Andrea Camanzi - on a some form of critical reflection and opening considering that the decisions of ART provoke litigations until from 2015 and that from then the Authority has lost with several motivations all the resources promoted from Confetra and the associations of the confederal system. The same Constitutional Court - Marcucci has remembered - has given twisted and as warning in the last sentence the REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE COURT Piemonte has condemned it also to the payment of the trial-like expenses".

Manifesting disappointment for the news that ART will appeal once again to the Council of State against the recent sentence of the REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE COURT Piemonte that has given to reason to Confetra (the reason of competing for regards the contributions for 19 million euros per year that ART would expect from the private companies of road haulage, shipment and logistics that are not regulated services,on 9 March 2018), Marcucci has denounced that however the imperturbable continuous Authority counting on the free sponsorship of the Legal profession of State while for Confetra the costs fall back on the enterprises. "In the civil law if our enterprises hogged the courts with reckless causes - he has emphasized the president of the Confederation of the logistics - would have some to answer, the supervisory body of the public expense would have to express as much rigor on behaviors accredit that they happen in the within of the administrative law".

"Once again - it has concluded Marcucci - I ask clearly a legislative participation: in the other Member States Authorities similar to that Italian do not exist and the role of guarantee in the fair and not discriminatory access in the former services monopolies publics is carried out by the Ministries. In Italy it is assisted to an overlap of roles and duplications of functions: the new Parliament would have to deforest those roles and those duplications and if the usefullness of the Authority of Regulation were confirmed some would have see again the institutive norm loading of the costs on the general fiscality".
