Confetra, the relaunch decree-law does not adequately support certain sectors of logistics, starting with that of portability
Russian: We cannot allow the more than 200 port terminal companies to be compensated with just 16 million reductions in royalties
May 26, 2020
"These - specified the Director-General of Confetra, Ivano Russo -- our few and targeted proposals for make the decree-law relaunch more adhering to the needs market. There is - he explained - a great political theme transport, and concerns the role that portability measure will want to recognize. We did not dispute the billions or the hundreds of millions made available to Alitalia Railways, but we cannot tolerate that the more than 200 companies terminals are compensated with just 16 million reduction in licence fees, compared with an average reduction in fees volumes of 40% or, as in the case of cruise terminals, with turnovers virtually zeroed out. We do not want - said Russo - impact on the balances of the measure, but at least let the Port System Authorities that have budget surpluses of dealers even within a limit 10 million for each Authority. Not overall. And especially both the National Conference of Portity in dictate, in agreement with MIT, homogeneous enforcement guidelines all stopovers."
"Let's go back then," Russo continued, explaining the amendments developed by the leadership groups of the Confetra - on the theme of greater operational protection for couriers delivering basic goods, on the necessary freezing of payments owed by the sector to the Authority Transport Regulation and the Guarantee Authority Communications, on a more realistic access policy the benefits of Ferrobonus consistent with the devastation of volumes and taxes imposed by the pandemic. Finally, it is better to decline the standard for support for the airport sector: yes to protections higher for company staff, but without equivocal rules which could then be imposed on other assets as well logistics - which relate to goods - and which take place in areas airport.'
Finally, the President of the Confetra made it clear that if "this decree is a good tool to try to make it survive our companies', 'to speak, however, of true "relaunch" - he pointed out - it will be necessary to aim bold simplifications and structural and structural reduction important part of the fiscal wedge. Especially for this second aspect - noted Russo - we are talking about several billion euros. We hope that the recovery found game will be successful, and that by the summer we can take up the theme in view of the September.'
