Confetra denunciation newly invasions of field of ART in fields with would not compete to them



Tomorrow to hours 11,30 to Rome, near the Room of the Queen of Palazzo Montecitorio, the president of the Authority of Regulation of the Transports (ART), Andrea Camanzi, will illustrate the annual report 2019 of the institution, presentation to which will not participate to the General Confederation Italiana of the Transports and the Logistics (Confetra). "Our institutional style is famous to all the decisive publics and - it has specified president of Confetra, Nereo Marcucci, having motivated the lacked presence the Confederation to the appointment tomorrow - we would have never thought to reach this point, but the situation is not indeed more sustainable".

"We will not participate to this ritual - Marcucci has explained - that indeed reaches valley of a year negative in the relations between the Authority and the system of the enterprises that we represent. They are years that ART - the president of Confetra has denounced - tries, in vain, to extend own powers regolators on fields and categories completely excluded by the functions to it entrusted by its same institutive law. We have won rerun in all the operations headquarters, quite until a pronunciamento of favorable the Constitutional Court to we".

"ART - Marcucci has remembered - is born for regulating uses it of infrastructures returned in concession from the State in regime of natural monopoly. Between these, certainly, they cannot re-enter ports or interpose you, than never terminalisti less harbour or private railway enterprises. As if it were not enough, as a result of the Bill Genoa Emergency, ART now sets the objective to subject to regulation also logistic enterprises that with infrastructures do not have own nothing to that to make, and quite the haulers only because they load or they unload goods in port".

"We quite have - it has specified Marcucci - tens of letters sent from the Authority to enterprises of international shipments and to marine and raccomandatarie agencies. Now enough. It goes melted the misunderstanding underlying: ART cannot carry out its function at the expense of an additional tax that the same regulated enterprises must pay - 0,6 per thousand of the turnover - the regolator. It is an abomination that he does not have similar in Europe and that, to our warning, pushes the Authority to improper invasions of field business oriented in fields that nothing have something to do with the management of an infrastructure in regime of natural monopoly".

Perhaps "the little () useful functions that ART would have to carry out - have observed Marcucci - it carries out at the expense of the general fiscality as every public institution that you respect yourself. It is also a topic of transparency and terzietà of the public regolator".

"We appeal - it has concluded Marcucci - to Prime Minister Conte, to our minister of Danilo Toninelli reference, to minister Luigi Di Maio, the Parliament all, so that they put into effect how much demanded from numerous orders of the day parliamentarians who bound them to verify the way to operate of ART. If ART thinks of being able to subject to excise tax every "indirect beneficiary also" of its already debatable infrastructural regulation, we speak about ulterior 20 million euros removed to the enterprises and the workers and transferred to an Authority that has by now almost assumed the dimensions of according to Ministry of Transportation. In the last biennium, the single staff in organic, is passed by 85 to 91, and today 180, unit".
