Disappointment of Fedespedi for the amendment that the enlivened cost of the container in the ports increases
It brings - it has emphasized the Federation - a serious damage to the competitiveness of our harbour logistic system
December 3, 2019
Also the National Federation of the International Shipment Enterprises (Fedespedi), so as the association of the Italian terminalisti Assiterminal(on 3 December 2019), it has expressed disappointment for the approval in Commission Finances of the Chamber of Deputies of an amendment to the fiscal bill that previews the institution of a "contribution which unified on the container disembarked and boarded in the ports of the State, even if not containing goods".
The federation of the Italian shippers has found that the provision, "for how much is given to comprise, anticipates little question marks and does not generate great worry for the increase of ulterior costs on the import-export Italian, with serious damage to the competitiveness of our harbour logistic system. The goods - Fedespedi has remembered - already supports the cost for the controls and the necessary surveillance to protection of the health and the commerce I legitimize".
"Our main harbour ports of call - it has observed moreover Fedespedi - are already facing serious infrastructural emergencies that put some to hard try the efficiency, causing congestionamento and loss of competitiveness. Such amendment risks to weaken of ulteriorly the attrattività, with a distorsivo effect of the flows of goods, that they would in North Africa find more economic ports of call in the remainder of Europe and".
Fedespedi has concluded confirming "the confidence in the role of the Agency of Customs and in the contribution that it is giving with concrete projects to the simplification of the processes and the implementations at the expense of the operators of the logistics. We do not believe, however - it has specified the federation - than in some way this amendment can help such effort".
