Three proposals of the Confetra to the government so that the economic pandemic does not make more damages than that sanitary one
Nicolini: draft of a package of measures that needs of covers for about nine billions
March 31, 2020

The president of the General Confederation Italiana of the Transports and the Logistics (Confetra), Guido Nicolini, has introduced the Giuseppe Conte, Prime Minister, and to the ministra of Infrastructures and of the Transports, Paola De Micheli, a document from the title "To react quickly. The ‘post-war period’ of the Logistics risks to undermine the entire national economy", that we publish below, evidencing that the economic pandemic risks to make more damages than that sanitary one.

On a yearly basis - it has explained the organization that represent the Italian enterprises of the logistics - Centro Studi of the Confederation previews a contraction of the volumes between the 20 and 25%. If the commercial interchange of the Country with the remainder of the World will inflect of about 150 billion euros, as by projection - it has specified Confetra - in terms of goods enlivened this would be equivalent to about 90 million tons, between import and export: the equivalent of 18 billion turnover for the entire field of the logistics and the transport goods. The Confederation has emphasized that this is equivalent to a devastation for activities that, as demonstrated also in this dramatic provoked crisis diffusing itself of the contagion of Covid-19, represent the connecting woven one of the national economy, the consumption, supplyings, the exchanges, of the imports, of the exports.

"We are - president of Confetra, Guido Nicolini has remembered - the net that holds the real economy and if it had to collassare, not there is resumption that holds. From weeks we work substantially in loss: to that is unchanged fixed costs, but medium to the 25-30% of the volumes. Specifying that in this moment of emergency the field of the logistics could not "certainly remain at home", Nicolini has evidenced that but "now it serves a solid injection of liquidity through direct and attivabili instruments in a matter of days, not weeks, in order to hold the field standing".

Three, substantially, the proposals advanced from the Confederation to the government: a reduction flat of the fiscal wedge of 40% for next the 20 months, the possibility to quickly embed through CDP 50% of the invoices inevase without burdens, the constitution of a national Bottom in order to eat the enterprises that can demonstrate a gap of turnover between the period of the emergency and lockdown 2020 regarding the same period of 2019.

"Draft - it has specified Nicolini - of a "package" of measures that needs of covers for about nine billions. And we only speak about the logistic field and transport goods. It is clearly that all this has a sense if the government, as we hope, will want indeed to set up urgent politics for the resumption as that evoked in recent days from Dragons. An other provision from 25 billion euros instead, bond in order to only postpone of an ulterior month the fiscal expirations and little other, would mean in wide measure to condemn to us to close clappers in a matter of weeks".


TO REACT QUICKLY
The "post-war period" of the Logistics risks to undermine the entire national economy

30 March 2020

PREMISED

The Field of the logistics and the transport goods has been revealed, in the emergency, all its strategicità. Almost 100 thousand enterprises, 1,5 million attache's, 85 billion turnover in 2019: 9% of the GDP national.
The connecting architecture and organizational engineering of national the economic system: harbour terminalisti, to interpose, operating railway goods, logistic haulers, warehouses, postal centers of distribution, couriers, operators, shippers, doganalisti, operators to you of the aerial cargo, handlers. A longest and complex chain of enterprises and professionality, all interrelate between they, than every day it has guaranteed and it guarantees consumption, distribution, supplying, import, export. This a lot to the final, city consumers and families, as for the manufacturers of every section, from steel to agriculture.
The effects of the Covid-19 have been and are tragic. For activity as ours that are based on the OPERATING FLUIDITY and VOLUMES TO TRANSPORT, the twofold effect of the physical limitations taxes from the control measures and of the closing of the productive activities our customers, is dramatic. To obviously unchanged fixed costs for the companies (costs of labor, management of the fleets of carriers, rent and management of the warehouses, software, administrative burdens) has corresponded instead reductions of the volumes until 70%, according to the specific segments.
AND the WORSE one MUST STILL COME, at least for two orders of reasons. The first: the effects of the lockdown, before only in the commerce then also productive-manufacturer, will produce its indefensible economic effects in next the 6/8 weeks. According to our Centro Studi, an ulterior contraction between the 40 and 60% of the enlivened residual volumes will be recorded, to April and then to May, regarding freedom of expression. Obviously a lot will depend on the eventual delay of the lockdown same after on 3 April.
But, paradoxicalally, still more worrisome are the analyses of scene of medium period.
Istat and State Audit Court, in Relazioni of accompanyment to the DL Italy Cure, have spoken about "economy from post-war period".

ChinaDesk (attached 1), on the base of the projections OCSE that estimate the contraction of the World gdp of the -1,5% (crisis of 2009 carried to the contraction of the -1,4%), executes an analysis of the impacts on the commercial exchanges and the balance of the balance of payments in Italy in 2020.

It is taken to the 2009 (Great Recession and Porcine pandemic H1N1) to reference. Esteem, so, a contraction of the exchanges in 2020 between Italy and remainder of the world of 149,1 billion euros (- 18%) so shared: consumer goods (- 80,6 Mld€), industrial goodses (- 32,4 industrial Mld€) and assets consumption/(- 36.1 Mld€).

The Cerved (attached 2), working on two various scenes (concluded crisis to May or December 2020) previews, for our Field, on base anniversary, a reduction of the turnover attested in a scissor between the 18 and 30%.

With of the data of such first studies, confirmation a tendency: the crisis for our varrà Field medium at least 20% of volumes and turnovers, and consequently of job and occupation. We speak therefore about 95 million tons of goods in less, that they are worth 17 billion turnover and 320 thousand places of work.

It has done good the Government to offer to first answers to the enterprises previewing deferrals of burdens and taxes to 30 or 60 days.

Now he is indispensable to change registry.
These over exposed are numbers "from post-war period" for the Field of the logistics and the transport goods, and need participations and set in action urgent that are able to give spallata to these statistics from the immediate side of the liquidity availability.
Some of these will need of direct investments and administrative speditezza: beginning from the realization of all the relative programmed infrastructural works to the completion - in our Pese - of the nets TRY for corridors, adductions, Core nodes and comprehensive. Other measures do not need, instead, of economic coverage, be a matter themselves of innovations and normative and procedural simplifications that the logistic industry invokes from years.

These the little and clear priorities that the entire Confederal System intends, in the immediate one, to subject to the Government and the Parliament being depended on the support of the Ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports.
This also to light of taken of contained formal action in article 61 of the DL relative the Italy Cure and to the acknowledgment of the Field transport goods and logistics (letter n article 61) as one of the productive rows more hit by the effects of the crisis.


1 - PARTICIPATIONS FOR THE REDUCTION OF THE COSTS OF LABOR

The logistics is the Field labour intensive for excellence and the costs of labor are the incomprimibile element of greater impact on the business budgets. A reduction of such cost would allow with the enterprises first of all to survive and favorably to assign at least part of such savings to the investments, in particular those in technological innovation. The Covid-19 emergency has returned not more rinviabile such measure. One wonders therefore to preview relief contributive for the enterprises that post-emergence maintain to the occupational levels precedence substantially unchanged. To pull down of 40% the costs of labor needs of estimable cover between the 6 and 7 billion euros considering an audience of beneficiaries of about 90 thousand enterprises, 900 thousand employee and a medium annual salary and wage (RAL) of 30 thousand euros.

He is moreover indispensable to preview a moratorium of the CCNL in expiration in the period of the Covid-19 emergency; this measure does not have costs for the State.



Contributive bonus for the companies of logistics, shipment, transport


Alle enterprises of the logistic Field, shipment, transport that, also hit from the emergency Coronavirus, on December 31, 2021 maintain until at least 80% of the occupational levels in force to the date of 1 February 2020, intending for such the workers not in test to time indeterminate and excluded the apprentices, is recognized for the same period as above the exoneration from the deposit of the 40 percent of the social insurance contributions for cover IVS at the expense of the same ones. The share remains firm of computes of the pension performances.


Moratorium CCNL in expiration


In consideration of the economic repercussions Coronaviruses provoked by the emergency, are postponed until on December 31, 2020 the vigenza of the national collective bargaining agreements of all the economic fields under renew to the date of effectiveness of anticipate disposition.


2 - LIQUIDITY

The Covid-19 emergency is provoking in the field a liquidity crisis financial institution of unimaginable proportions. They are estimated already today beyond 2,5 billion euros of unsolved credits for the single sections of the transport on rubber, the deliveries and shipments. If helped the great part of the companies does not risk the failure: the times of proceeds of the invoices, today, medium on the 80 days, are not more sustainable. One wonders therefore to activate an extraordinary participation of Bank of Deposits and Loans so that it, directly or through the financial institutions, advance payments the quota proceeds leave of the issued invoices. For the cover of the measure a fabisogno is estimated of 1,2 miliaridi of euro, partially intended as spin bottom, partially to cover of burdens and interests.

Moreover the creation of a Bottom to the aim is necessary to eat the Field of the logistics and the transport goods for the dimunuzione of turnover.

One moreover wonders to suppress for the 2020 increase anniversary on triennial base of the Ires share for the concessionaires. That features of airports, freeways, ports, to interpose you or railway infrastructures, the heavy financial ruin of volumes enlivened and transported for all the year in course, today return this forecast introduced with the last Law of Stability indefensible.



Advance on invoice
1. The enterprises that carry out road haulage activity third parties goods, international shipment, courier, doganalista, operating department store postal, terminalisti, can introduce to Bank of Deposits and Loans for through of the financial institutions demanded of advance on the invoices emitted in the period from 1 February 2020 on September 30, 2020 pairs to the 50 percent of the taxable income, without burdens neither interests. The advance is given back to Bank of Deposits and Loans in the term of 12 months with burdens borne by the State.
2. With I decree of the Ministry of the Economy and Finances to emanate itself within 15 days from the effectiveness of the disposition of which to codicil 1 the relative modalities of performance are established


Bottom for the logistics


Near the Ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports a Bottom is instituted in order to eat the transport companies shipment and logistics that in the period of the Covid-19 emergency, even though remained in activity to the aim to guarantee the transport of the goods of which to attached the 1 of DM 25.3.2020, they can demonstrate a reduction of the revenues regarding the same period of 2019.


Abolition for 2020 of the Ires increase for the concessionaires


The Ires increase in head to the public Federal property concessionaires, of which to article 1 codicil 716 of Legge 27 December 2019 n.160, it is suppressed for the annuity in course


3 - PARTICIPATIONS OF SIMPLIFICATION

Confetra has collaborated with the Cnel to a first mapping of the participations of simplification that interest the logistics. It is calculated that the weight of the bureaucracy on the Field involves an increase of annual estimable burdens in 30 billion. One wonders to take part with a first series of participations that do not involve burdens borne by the State, but contribute, in particular in the phase post-emergence to make to share the Field.

They are brought back unanimously under five proposals already approved of by the Shareholders' meeting of the Cnel, correspondents from the Presidency of the Cnel to the Chambers and already hinged and partially discussed in the competent Commission (you see attached 3). To accelerate their transformation in bureaucratic laws would overwhelm good part degi onrei that weigh on the enterprises and that over they are recalled.

4 - PARTICIPATIONS IN ORDER TO ACCELERATE THE DIGITALISATION IN THE FIELD

The Covid-19 emergency has been profitable obvious how much the digitalisation of the administrative procedures and in general terms I use it of the digital technologies are fundamental for the operativity of the system Country. The immaterial connections return the continuation of many activities also of the PA possible. In the logistics moreover still too many procedures are unfortunately employee from the paper. Profit appears to pick such opportunity, sure exceptional, in order to recover the lost time and to quickly proceed in the digitalisation of all a series of documents and processes, is in the relationships between operators and PA who between same operators. The immediate start wonders moreover for the Unico Amministratico Door (ITS) and for the Unico Doganale Door and Controls (SUDOCO) introduced with the D.Lgvo n.169/2016. Ques'tulitmoche allows the interoperability of the systems of all the PA involved in the clearance procedures, with optimization of the times and consequent reduction of the burdens at the expense of the enterprises. The DPCM for the start of the SUDOCO is ready from years, but ispiegabilmente firm in order better not specified verifications still in course. It goes immediately emanated and put in action Contextually one wonders that in order to favor the ripartenza of the economy, taken into consideration the fundamental role of the international exchanges, allows the maximum fluidity of the traffics in import-export reducing temporary the coefficients of risk of the customs system computerized that determine the outcomes of the clearance.



Digitalisation of documents and the processes that impattano on the Field of the logistics

Whereby the paper document was demanded originally, the document could be replaced from suitable digital forms of authentication.


Modifications analysis of customs risk


In constancy of Covid-19 emergency, made blank detailed lists investigative requirements for anti-drug, anti-terrorism, traffic of sanitary weapons and for alert, to all the goods is recognized a temporary reduction of the percentages of physical control in import and export apt to guarantee the maximum operating fluidity in the phase of clearance.
