Fedespedi, the emergency coronavirus is crushing the Italian chain of the logistics



The emergency coronavirus is crushing the Italian chain of the logistics. The Fedespedi denunciation: "the supply chain logistic - it has emphasized the president of the federation of the national shipment houses, Silvia Moretto - the collapse and with it risks the Italian economy. If they are stopped import and export Italy risks knocked out the technician. Fundamental - it has specified - the demand for Confetra to create a task force to the MIT. It serves a central coordination: it is necessary to listen to the operators and to give to homogenous dispositions on all the national territory that do not penalize logistic and production".

"The tempistiche of the controls on the goods in import from extra Countries EU (from China) - Moretto has explained - have not only reached indefensible levels. Pack-saddles to think to the case denounced from our enterprises to Genoa: the medium wait of completion of the controls on the goods in income is passed by two to eight days and similar situations find in many ports and airports of our Country. This situation joins to the block of the production in China, one of the main supplier Countries of Italy and Europe, that it puts to risk supplyings for people and enterprises. To Genoa the connections by sea cancelled with China always are already beyond 50. Dramatic also the decrease of the volumes in import in Veneto, above all aerial way. The escorts begin to be in short supply (Federmeccanica, in order to make an example, have declared that they will have serious problems if supplyings will not resume within half March, between two weeks) and when they end interrupt entire productive rows".

Moretto has restated that "Fedespedi joins totally to the initiative of Confetra, that has asked the minister of the Transports, Paola De Micheli, to institute a task force in order to monitor in real time the impacts of the coronavirus on the logistics and to manage this crisis guaranteeing a coordination to central level and homogenous dispositions on all the national territory. Not - it has evidenced the president of Fedespedi - to psychosis and solutions local, taken in scattered order and without to listen to the voice of the economic operators. The emergency coronavirus imposes to ignite the reflectors on the logistics that is vital for survival of the economy of the Country. If the red zone of interdiction to the traffic were increased from the province of Lodi to the provinces of Milan, Bergamo or Brescia, for example, it would be gone to block the first economy of the Country, and with it a good slice of the export Italian and the flows of goods of the main ports of call of the Italy North. It is necessary that the institutions and the government once and for all take conscience of the strategicità of our field: without production and logistics, without import and export, our economy - already previewed in increase only of the "zero comma" - risks the recession in 2020. Us we cannot afford".

According to Fedespedi, "a possible immediate solution in order to standardize the flows of goods that still resist could be that to relieve the Offices of Marine Health (USMAF), under already seriously organic and in difficulty before the crisis coronavirus, of the controls on the passengers, entrusting these last ones to other public bodies on the territory, as the ASL. 8th January, before the emergency - Moretto has remembered - we have met together with Confetra the Health ministry in order to signal the serious deficiency of doctors assigned to the control of the goods. Now that these little doctors are moved to the controls on the people, the services to the goods are paralyzed and this is not acceptable. Our logistics so risks knocked out the technician".

"The situation in continuous evolution, moreover - it has concluded Moretto - demands careful appraisals that do not penalize the Italy System. EU and) in ours is necessary to monitor the initiatives taken from other Countries (does not confront: now that the virus has spread also in Italy, our Country risks the isolation. The political face to feel its voice with firmness against unwarrantable and contrary decisions to the free circulation of people and goods in Shengen area".
