Italy and Germany speed up the EU commission to block the restrictive measures for the road haulage previewed unilaterally from Tirol
Denounced a violation of the principle of the free circulation of the goods
April 9, 2019
The Minister of Infrastructures and the Transports, Danilo Toninelli, with the homologous German Andreas Scheuer, has written newly to Violeta Bulc, European commissioner to the Transports, in order to restate with anchor more force own contrarietà regarding the restrictive measures for the road haulage previewed unilaterally from Tirol. The two ministers ask that Brussels invites the authorities Austrians to desist from the adoption of measures that, if adopted, would bring a huge damage to the road haulage enterprises that they cross the corridor of Brenner, with heavy fallen back on the Italian economy and that German.
The measures to which reference is made - have remembered - they are those proposals and notified the Head office MOVES of the EU commission from the Austrian federal government, that they would from abroad impose heavy limitations to the transport of some goods and some coming motor vehicles, therefore from Italy, in the Land of Tirol. Chosen that they would penalize the transit traffic exclusively and would protect that inside, to the detriment of the road haulage from and for Italy and, of I send back, the enterprises of the other Member States. A clear indirect discrimination towards foreign societies, that hinge of the only market of the European Union goes against the principles.
In the communication to commissioner Bulc, Toninelli and Scheuer they emphasize moreover as it is the Italy that Germany policies of protection of the atmosphere and the health pursue, also with financial efforts and important investments that strongly Austrians of restriction of the transit of the trucks would be influenced in negative from the measures. "This decision, therefore - law in the communication of the two ministers - represents, to our warning, a violation of the principle of the free circulation of the goods".
