Confetra subjects to the government own proposals for the logistics and the transport goods
Nicolini: it is an important contribution also in sight of States general of the economy
June 8, 2020
In sight of the imminent completion by the government of the measures previewed from the next one I decree Simplifications, the General Confederation Italiana of the Transports and of the Logistics it has sent to the Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, and to the ministra of Infrastructures and of the Transports, Paola De Micheli, a programmatico document, that we publish below, in which Confetra it illustrates some proposals for the field of the logistics and of the transports that wish they can be understood in the provision.
Draft - the president of Confetra has explained, Guido Nicolini - of "an important contribution also in sight of States general of the economy". "- Nicolini has asserted - the engagement of the MIT in order to return the performance of the Code well easyr Contracts and, therefore, for velocizzare the realization of programmed infrastructures. But - it has specified - it does not go forgotten the other face about the medal: it is necessary to return more fluid the operational cycle of the logistics, acting on the simplification of the administrative procedures and on the outsourcing of many services. Beyond 300 procedures of control on goods and carriers, more than 25 administrative offices publics involved, 30 billion insufferable bureaucratic burdens for the enterprises and the competitiveness of the System Country - it has specified the president of Confetra - on these topics we have worked beyond a year in within CNEL and put with great satisfaction yields on hand of this job of the government".

TOWARDS THE DL SIMPLIFICATIONS
The proposals of Confetra for the logistics and the transport goods
5 june 2020
PREMISED
For operators of the logistic row of the goods the topic of the reduction of the administrative burdens is crucial.
It is calculated that the weight of the bureaucracy you weigh on the field for beyond 30 billion euros per year. In this phase of which wished resumption, in devastating full load impact on the economy of the Covid-19 emergency, becomes more procrastinabile not to undertake brave steps of simplification wide-ranging.
Prompt Confetra in the first place the start of the Unico Doganale Door and the Controls. It is instituted in 2016 in the within of the harbour reform (D.Lgvo n.169) and today, although all the implementing provisions turn out elaborated, are firm near the DAGL. The phase of clearance in Italy sees - according to the interested produced ones - the involvement of 18 various total Administrations for 68 prodromal and contextual procedures between. The operators are forced to duplicate the presentation of documents, with extravagance of time, money, human resources: the system Country cannot more afford it.
The risk is the marginalization of our Peninsula from the flows of arrival and departure of the goods, from the moment that only the more competitive ports of call at the level of European Union are able to intercept those traffics, above all in this phase of dramatic economic contraction and of the volumes.
Prompt Confetra also the application to all the modalities of transport of the "clearance on the trip". Today the Agency Customs Monopolies allows the "clearance in sea", but it is necessary to extend this procedure also to the imports that arrive via airplane and earth, with the implementation of a system "full hand digital" coherently with the principles of the Code Dogale Unionale. The "clearance on the trip" in tightened synergy with the SUDOCO would allow a better management of the customs moment side operating administration and side: more efficient procedures, quicker times, increase of the perception of reliability of the operators, increase quality services to the goods and the traffics. Above all for the aerial modality it would constitute an effective simplification for lacripresa of the field after the devastating impact of the Covid-19 emergency.
Confetra considers also that the Simplification passes for the cession to qualified subjects of procedures today carried out in exclusive right from the Agency Customs and Monopolies. We refer in particular to the activities preliminarys investigation for the release of authorizations and customs regimes that could be carried out from n.213/2000 according to the law equiparandole the Centers of Customs Assistance authorized to those carrying out from the Agency to the aim to reduce workloads in head to the civil employees publics being accelerated the tempistiche of the same procedures. This request already is shared by Cnel (v. point 1,5 Notebook CNEL "Proposed on the simplification and the competitiveness of the Italian logistics" of september 2019).
A normative gap, moreover, in the within of the integrated logistic services is given by the lack of a typed contract of logistics, recognized today only to jurisprudential level. This determines uncertainty in the contractual relationships, in particular with regard to the discipline of the contractual responsibility, and returns less fluid the same relationships with high risk of litigations.
The requirement to reach to a contract of logistics normato in the Civil code is a demand shared from all the present associations in Cnel (v. point 5,1 Notebook CNEL "Proposed on the simplification and the competitiveness of the Italian logistics" of september 2019).
In document anticipates is proposed collections of simplification that they do not have, in the majority, an impact financial borne by the State, and on the other hand they produce important economic benefits on the operators and the fluidity of the entire operational cycle of the goods.
The risk of a its excessive flattening is considered that the described proposals under, some of which approved of within the Shareholders' meeting of the CNEL and already incardinatae near the referring Parliamentary commissions from last January, can be received in emanating the provision, avoiding so also on the matter of the contracts publics. This last, however sure important one for operators of the logistic row for which the optimization of material and immaterial infrastructures remains a condition base of productivity and competitiveness. With this end in view Confetra confides that the modifications to the Code of the Contracts that will be introduced will allow tempistiche and sure procedures of realization of the works.
1. VAT TO THE IMPORT
NORMATIVE PROPOSAL
To article 70 of Decreto of the President of the Republic 26 October 1972,
n.633:
? to codicil 1 the words "and collected" are suppressed;
? codicil 5 is replaced by the following one:
"the tax assessed and liquidated in the customs declaration is acquitted by the importer in compliance with the dispositions of which to title II; to such fine the customs document must be annotated, with reference to the month of release of the same document, in the registries of which to artt.23 or the 24 let alone, to the effects of the deduction, in the registry of which to the art.25."
ILLUSTRATION
In Italy the Vat on the imported assets is collected near the customs offices.
The deposit happens generally by means of the institute of the payment periodic and deferred of the custom duties (custom offices and Vat) that it previews two expirations of deposit, the 8 and the 23 of every month with reference to the imports happened respective in the first and the second fortnight of the month precedence.
For example, if on 7 January pairs to 1.000 euros are imported assets with Vat, that amount will be poured in customs the 8 of February; if the same import happens on 24 January the deposit will happen on 23 February.
That same Vat comes capacity in deduction and therefore it is scomputata by the deposits periodicals Vat that are carried out with the F24 model. In the example already made the Vat poured in customs the 8 or on 23 February it is recovered with the periodic deposit on 16 February, therefore in a case with a refuse in favor of the State treasury and in the other with a refuse in favor of the operator.
After all therefore the deposit of the Vat in customs - than in 2018 year 2018 has quoted 14,2 million euros (, source Blue Book ADM) - does not produce no advantage financial for the State, but solo as an unwarrantable bureaucratic increase in weight is resolved.
The norm Vat is disciplined to communitarian level and for the Vat to the import it directly previews that the Member States can freely decide to collect it near the customs offices or inside (art.211 Directive n.112/2006). The true difference emerges when the operator who has anticipated the Vat in customs goes on credit (not having sufficient Vat inside to compensate). To that point sure the State that has embedded cash Vat in customs has an advantage, but draft of an unjust advantage from the moment that it would have to give back it immediately to the operator and not to withhold it for imponderable times as it happens in Italy.
Other States that do not embed the Vat in customs of it make reason of institutional marketing, inviting the logistic operators to clear near of they and cite Italy for example negative for the diffuseness of recovery of the Vat poured in customs (v. for all office ICE of Amsterdam).
To suppress the collection in customs of the Vat to the import would constitute a simplification of large capacity, worthy of a real action of throws again of our Country after the devastating impact on the which acted as economy the Covid-19.
2. CONTRACTUAL FREEDOM IN THE LIBERALIZED FIELDS
NORMATIVE PROPOSAL
To the aims of the release of authorizations, of concessions, licences or however of certifications of suitability to operate in railway, harbour, airport or postal within, the purpose to harmonize the economic and normative treatments of the dependent of the enterprises in order to avoid distortions of the competition is satisfied with the application by the same contract enterprises national collectives stipulated from trade associations and labor organizations of the comparativily more representative workers on a national level.
ILLUSTRATION
It is opportune to insert in our ordering a norm to guarantee of the effettivity of the principle of trade-union freedom of which to article 39 of the Constitution.
That principle in fact many times over is questioned - in particular in the postal, railway field - by normative participations faces to assert legitimacy of “only contracts of reference” (art.1, codicil 14 of the D.LGVO n.58/2011 and art.8, codicil 3 second of the law n.148/2011 the successively suppressed) and, in the airport field, from restrictive interpretations times to impose application CCNL Assaeroporti (Enac regulations of the 23.3.2011 on the “Certification of the lenders of airport services of assistance to earth”, let alone same D.L n.34/2020 currently during conversion to article 203).
Against the illiberality of only contracts they have repeatedly taken position is the Authority Antitrust (audition to the Chamber of the 26.10.2011 and signallings nn.869 of the 14.9.2011, 441 of 15.1.2008 and 424 of the 26.10.2007) that the administrative magistracy (sentences REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE COURT Lazio nn.1295 of 9.2.2012 and 982 of the 30.1.2012, sentence REGIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE COURT Lombardy n.1329 of the 7.5.2008 and sentences of the Council of State nn.3450, 3302, 3821 and 3301 of 2006).
3. ABOLITION OF THE SERVICE OF REPLY OF THE CUSTOMS CORPS
NORMATIVE PROPOSAL
Article 21 of the 23 DPR January 1973, n.43, is suppressed.
ILLUSTRATION
Our ordering previews the anachronistic “service of reply” of the Customs corps, consisting in the control by the financiers to all it crosses harbour and airport of all means of transport. The control happens on documents which released from the customs offices. Therefore the “reply” is the control of who it has already controlled, a unicum of our Country, a useless bureaucratic increase in weight (would be interesting with this end in view a statistics on the reliefs and on which it would be the advantage for the State treasury of those eventual reliefs).
The Customs corps have very others important tasks to carry out that I am of real interest for the State that not to carry out the reply on the acts of the customs offices.
The current phase in which our Country it needs to leave again after the devastating economic impact of the Covid-19 is sure the suitable occasion in order to suppress this anachronistic control.
4. HARMONIZATION OF THE BUSINESS HOURS OF THE P.A. PARTICIPANTS TO THE PHASE OF CLEARANCE
Bill in parliament of Cnel initiative introduced in Parliament
NORMATIVE PROPOSAL
To article 1 of I decree legislative 8 November 1990, n. 374, are assistant, in fine, the following codicil:
“9-second. The dispositions of codicils 1, 2, 4, 5 and 8 of anticipate article are applied also to the staff been dependent on the public administrations of which to article 1, codicil 2, of I decree legislative 30 March 2001, n. 165, that they take part in the procedures of assessment and control in the norm and law enforcement of the European Union in matter of breaking in of the goods in the territory of the European Union and of export of the goods from the territory of the European Union. To the aims of which to codicil anticipates, the implementations that codicil 2 places at the expense of the Director of the Agency of customs and the monopolies intend places at the expense of the Minister that is of the summit of the administration whose offices are involved in the aforesaid procedures”.
ILLUSTRATION
The phase of clearance needs of the maximum coordination of the Administrations that carry out the various procedures. It stops remaining the necessity of the start of the Unico Doganale Door and of the Controls, he is also indispensable that the timetable of the offices of the several P.A is coordinated. In particular it is necessary to harmonize the dispositions on the opening and closing of the services based on the discipline on the activity of the Agency Customs and Monopolies previewed from the D.Lgvo n.374/90. Draft of a simplification of great importance, which considered that currently the lack of harmonization of the timetables is one of the root causes of the delays in the phase of clearance.

7. ENDORSEMENTS IN CUSTOMS
NORMATIVE PROPOSAL
To article 303 of the 23 DPR January 1973, n.43
? the first period of codicil 3 so is replaced:
3. If the rights of border altogether which had second the assessment on the value are greater of those calculating based on the declaration and the difference of the rights exceeds the five percent, the administrative endorsement, in case the fact does not constitute more serious crime, is applied as follows: ”
? the following codicil is added:
“4. However, if such difference depends on errors of calculation, conversion of the foreign currency or transcription store clerks in good faith in the compilation of the declaration that is due to inexact indication of the value sempreché declaring has supplied all the necessary elements for the assessment of the same value, it is applied, tenth the administrative endorsement not smaller of and the greater one of the entire one not to pile of the difference.”
ILLUSTRATION
The sanzionatorio regime for the violations in customs matter is disciplined by article 303 of the TULD and is very rigid and penalizing.
The incidence of the endorsement on the amount of the violation arrives until 750% and the same European Law court has placed highlight as our customs sanzionatorio system is in contrast with the communitarian principles in matter (v. Sentence n.1377/2013).
In fact based on the Customs Code Unionale the endorsements must be proportional, besides dissuasive effective and.
The simplification of the customs sanzionatorio regime would have therefore the twofold scope to bring back fairness in the application of the endorsements and not to more penalize the national operators regarding the competitors European.
In particular it is considered to introduce esimente when the errors store clerks are evidently of formal nature, let alone to preview express that the endorsements are applicable when differences on the value of the produced ones which cleared that they affect the amount of the which had custom duties, and not also on the differences of quality and amount of the same produced ones are found.
8. PAPER OF THE SERVICES FIELD GOODS
NORMATIVE PROPOSAL
Within 120 days from the effectiveness of it anticipates article, the ENAC, together with the main associations of the aerial transport goods, updates to the paper of the services of the airport managers field goods to the aim to return it mainly suitable to the measurement of the supplied services and the quality of the same ones.
The paper will have to preview corrective actions if of lacked attainment the fixed objectives.
ILLUSTRATION
In the within of the services transport publics, the Paper of Mobility (DPCM 30.12.1998) previews that the suppliers of the services write up a Paper of the Services that guarantees determined levels of quality.
On the base of that norm the Enac has written up the outline of the Paper of the Services of the airport managers as instrument of progressive improvement of the quality of the supplied services and of transparent information in confronts of the user on the levels of quality and the verification of the respect of the same ones.
That Paper is adopted to volontaristico level; in particular today for services of the field goods only the port of call of Malpensa is supplied some.
As a result of the devastating impact that the Covid-19 emergency has caused on the aerial field, is necessary that the ripartenza is characterized by services that maintain high levels of quality, to the aim to allow with the operators of having the best ones chanches in order to compete to international level.
The normative proposal is finalized to a fast update of the Paper of the Services for the field goods, elaborated from Enac in 2014 (Circ Gen - 06 of the 31.10.2014), so that the measurement of the level of the services becomes effective and actions for an improvement of the same ones are introduced.
9. CREDITED LABORATORIES OF ANALYSIS
NORMATIVE PROPOSAL
To the aims of the clearance, the controls on the champions of goods prescribed from the competent sanitary authority can be carried out also from private laboratories credited in compliance with European norms EN ISO/IEC 17025 and EN ISO/CEI 17011.
ILLUSTRATION
In phase of clearance, the sanitary norm previews that they can be carried out controls on champions of goods. This happens above all for producing destined to the feeding.
For this type of producing, very often highly perishable, are necessary that the controls happen with tempistiche breviums.
Vice versa in Italy the times are longest because the net of laboratories that carry out sanitary controls is devoid: the champions travel from a Region to the other for being able to be analyzed, with time increases not only, but also of financial burdens for operators and to I discredit of the system Country in terms of efficiency and effectiveness of Public Administration.
The laboratories authorized to the analyses are only those regional publics. Draft of a choice that is not dictated by some communitarian tie. In fact Communitarian Regolamento 882/2004 to article 12 establishes that the Competent authorities designate the laboratories that “operate, are estimated and credited in compliance with European norms EN ISO/IEC 17025, EN 45002, EN 45003”, independently from the public or private nature. Same Legge n.283/1962 moreover previews to article 1 that the analyses can be completed, besides from the provincial laboratories of hygiene and outlined, “from other laboratories in case of necessity authorized”.
This being, wonders to widen the net of the authorized laboratories inserting those private having requirement of which to cited Regulations 882/2004, so as to guarantee the presence of the laboratories working in every Region. Present holds who the controls in question, for example the analyses on the aflatossine, normally are carried out to costs contained from any credited private laboratory.
10. INFRASTRUCTURAL PARTICIPATIONS
NORMATIVE PROPOSAL
To the realization, with resources own for concession of the Authorities of Harbour System by private subjects, of relating works the marine and harbour activities let alone those of realization of destined systems to operations of boarding and disembarkation answering to the functions own of the port of call, are excluded da/l' application of the disposed ones of which to D.Lgvo 18.4.2016, n.50, in the respect of the principles of economization, effectiveness, transparency, ambient protection de/l' and energy efficiency.
ILLUSTRATION
Based on the current dispositions on contracts publics, the infrastructural participations that the Authorities of Harbour System undertake are subject to the general norm of the Code of the Appalt i (D.Lgvo n.50/2016).
One considers that when the works are carried out by the concessionaires with own resources, would have to be explicitly excluded the application of the aforesaid norm that all involves often unsurmountable a bureaucratic constraints series, often preventing the completion in the reasonable times of the infrastructure.
11. DEL GIUDICE COMPETENCE OF PEACE IN CONTROVERSIES SUL CDS OF THE ROAD HAULAGE ENTERPRISES
Bill in parliament of Cnel initiative introduced in Parliament
