The legislative measures and the interventions against the expensive diesel fuel are slow in arriving, making the situation for the sector "unsustainable".
Thus Unatras , the Union of the most representative national road transport associations, which includes Confartigianato Trasporti , Fai Conftrasporto , Fiap , Fita Cna , Sna Casartigiani , Unitai , Lega delle Cooperative , Confcooperative and AGCI , wrote to the Minister and Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation . In the foreground, in the letter, the unease expressed by the category .
The 9 acronyms who signed the message complain about "the widespread discontent that is registered in the territories for the failure to disburse the important resources , made available by the Executive, but not yet usable due to lack of corrective measures necessary for their practical usability". Amedeo Genedani, national president of Confartigianato Trasporti and Unatras writes that «thousands of entrepreneurial realities are resisting but risk not having the strength to go on because they have to face a situation that risks becoming unsustainable. All after having received promises and reassurances on the imminent expendability of the resources intended for them". The latter would amount to 310 million , of which 200 allocated by the 2023 Budget Law, not yet disbursed .
"The risk is that the situation could degenerate and produce uncontrolled forms of protest , such as those recorded last year, always condemned by all trade associations, but due to the exasperation of those who can't take it anymore", underline the Union of hauliers who has already decided to convene the executive bodies "to evaluate any more appropriate self-protection initiatives". In response, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport convened trade associations for Thursday 16 March .
The uncomfortable situation is also confirmed by Confartigianato Trasporti Sardegna , according to which "the end of the discounts on excise duties on fuel and the increase in motorway tolls in 2023 could lead to an annual increase in costs of 10,300 euros for each heavy vehicle " . This would lead Sardinian companies in the sector to a liquidity crisis which would lead to non-compliance with deadlines with problems that would affect the costs and delivery times of essential goods for many economic sectors".
