Fedespedi, for the resumption of the Italian economy to invest in digitalisation, connectivity and sustainability



Fedespedi, the federation of the Italian shipment houses, has suggested to the government which will have to be the priority fields of investment in the picture of the resources put in field thanks to the bottom agreed in center EU in order to help the European economies to resume itself from the impact caused from the coronavirus pandemic. According to the federation, the initiatives would have to be centralized on the digitalisation, connectivity and the sustainability. "The times - it has found the president of Fedespedi, Silvia Moretto - are straits, but we are in front of a great opportunity. It is necessary to be concrete and to get ahead requests that can benefit to the shipment enterprises and all the fallen back sections of the logistic chain with positive for the Country. We know, in fact, that to the logistics 9% of the GDP of the Country must and are the engine of ours import-export. The topics of the digitalisation, connectivity and sustainability - Moretto has remembered - are the dossiers on which we are engaged for a long time, coherent with the areas of participation traced by the EU commission and that promuoviamo together with our Confetra confederation".

"Digitalisation - it has emphasized the president of the federation of the Italian shippers - is the great challenge that the Covid-19 has returned still more neighbor: to slim the processes and to return available documentations from remote have been indispensable in the months of lockdown but it must become the praxis. The shipment enterprises are burdened by numberless bureaucratic implementations. A thin documentary exchange with the other operators and the public authorities of interface would make us to earn in terms of efficiency and service returned to the customers. Naturally because this is possible is necessary to have an apt system of connections and in so far as deep the Europeans can make the difference. During the stop months, the job and the exchange of information from remote are improvised, this are the moment instead planning and guaranteeing formation, instruments and adequate nets".

"The topic of the connections - it has continued Moretto - is crucial also from the infrastructural point of view. Those Italians do not match up. The plan of the Ministry of Infrastructures and Transports "Fast Italy" contains the works of necessary realization and urgent and moves, therefore, in the right direction. It must, but, to push on the execution and to avoid the stasis in the phase of the concretizzazione that characterizes, unfortunately, the Italian progettualità. With a system of connection between the hub logistic of the Country to the vanguard we can guarantee, in fact, than the goods in export our ports and airports leave on the road from, avoiding transfers towards the Europe North. This affords us also to free the street arteries and to slim the traffic on rubber that places problems in terms of safety and environmental impact".

"A program of I throw again credible - it has found the president of Fedespedi - cannot, in fact, neglect the sustainability. It is a topic that touches to us carefully and that it is lever of increase and factor of potential high competitiveness for the enterprises, if interpreted in its concreteness and not only which marketing plan. To give to the enterprises incentives in order to plan and to realize solutions to low impact is, therefore, fundamental in our field. The logistic section is in charge of refusals - we think to the costs of the packaging - and of emissions deriving from the transport activity. An emphasized environmental impact consisting from the perseguimento of logic of "just in Time" and from the search of the convenience at all costs. The e-commerce and the Arctic route are two eclatanti examples that evidence the gravity of the situation and the brevity of the temporal horizon in which it must act. We think, therefore, to participations that afford to the enterprises of being more sustainable and than to raise awareness also own customers through the income of new competences in company".

"An other dossier on which we are moving - has concluded Moretto - it is, in fact, that of the formation. It is another of the topics of "We plan Rilancio", the plan of the Council of Ministers that identifies the macro-areas to whose inside to place the proposals for the "Recovery Fund". It is a dossier that holds with all the others: it previews the potenziamento of the technical formation that is vital for our field and aimed to adapt the competences to the necessities of the society. These today cannot that be digitalisation and sustainability in the knowledge that the technological innovation can be also the instrument through which implementing solutions to low environmental impact".
