(Finance) – “Well the announcement of the Ministry of Transport on the resources made available to the automotive sector, strong doubts instead on the new rules of the sector that will not allow to actually protect the transporters”. It is the judgment it expresses Solo After participating in the Technical table organized by MIT. During the meeting five themes were discussed: the need to recognize the transporter for compensation for excessive stops at the time of loading and unloading of goods; compliance with the payment times of transport invoices; Modiche to access the exam for the achievement of the CQC; the destination of the structural resources relating to the year 2025; and the establishment of a multi -year fund (590 million euros) for the renewal of the vehicular park, which will become operational from 2027.
Assotir reiterates their strong perplexities about the first two points (compensation for the loading and unloading times and compliance with payment times within 60 days), even if it is waiting to receive the definitive texts from the Ministry. “Even with the new rules, the transporters will hardly be able to assert their rights – he comments Claudio Donati, secretary general of Assotir -. To activate the new rules, a complaint or reporter will always be needed by the conveyor. However, the transporters will hardly report their clients, given that they are in a position of commercial subjection to them “. According to Donati, in short,” any regulatory intervention, if he wants to be effective, must provide for the possibility that the state enters the controls directly, and not only following the report by the transporter “.
On the question relating toacquisition of the qualification to lead industrial vehicles (the CQC, the driver qualification card), all the associations intervened at the table asked to eliminate the obligation to attend the exam preparation course. The exam remains the real point of evaluation of the professional ability of the future driver. The freedom freedom to evaluate how to acquire the most suitable preparation can therefore be left to the aspiring driver.
Finally, the MIT shared with the associations i criteria for the “unpacking” of structural resources for the current year. On this occasion, the Ministry communicated that he had recovered 41 million euros To remedy requests for investments relating to previous years, who had not yet found financial coverage.
Finally judges the announcement of a multi -year fund of 590 million To encourage the renewal of the vehicular park, although the operation is scheduled for 2027. The next step should provide for the definitive decision on the rules for stops and payment times. Following, themes concerning the Highway Code remain to be addressed (which intervenes on aspects such as the short suspension of the license, and the blind corner sensors), as well as an in -depth analysis of the study promoted by the Register of Shareholders on the reference values, following some doubts expressed by some associations.
“Assotir – he continues Donate – he will ask again to transpose the EU regulation 1055/2020 as regards the requirements to practice the profession of transporter. In fact, the regulation introduces a criterion of proportionality between turnover and means available to the company. It is a parameter that some associative representations strongly oppose, but which is instead central to implement a profound change in the transport market. In fact, it is necessary to shorten the supply chain, and to counteract the abuse of the sub-contract, the so-called subvention, which has been made in the last decade “concludes the general secretary of Assotir.” Only in this way, the transporters will obtain the equitable rates for the service they guarantee “.
