"At this moment, airing a road transport stop in Sardinia is not only useless, but it would damage the economy of a territory of which road hauliers are an integral and responsible part. At the start of the summer campaign, it is unimaginable to think of blocking the island and therefore, those who hypothesize it do so for reasons that have little to do with the real and concrete problems that weigh on our sector ". To say this, in a note, is Cinzia Franchini , spokesperson for Ruote Libera , the autonomous grouping of road transport SMEs, in the face of yesterday's announcement of the ASR movement (Autotrasportatori Sardi Riuniti) which is reorganizing itself for a new stop of the road transport throughout the island.
"Certainly, saying no to the road transport stop does not at all mean not recognizing the difficulties that are making life impossible for many companies in the area", explains Franchini. "We were the first to affirm that the protocol signed by the trade associations that sit in the Register with the Deputy Minister Bellanova would have been a failure and so it was, and we were the first to ask for a ceiling on the price of fuel , which goes beyond to the cut in excise duties, to stop the spiral of speculations that have caused unjustified increases in diesel, but also in the cost of ferries ". “Due to their specific nature, Sardinian road haulage companies are further penalized than the others and even the funds of the marebonus have proved to be completely insufficient”.
"At the same time, we acknowledge that the Draghi Government's decision to confirm the excise cut until July 8, for trucks from Euro IV downwards, represents a breath of fresh air , as well as the announcement by the Council of Ministers last night which allocated 500 million euros to restore at least in part the companies that with the Euro V and Euro VI trucks have in fact been excluded from the ordinary refunds of excise duties ", adds the spokesperson for Ruote Libera." Flatten the complexity of this moment in an impromptu announcement of a catch perhaps responds to the needs of visibility or to someone's personal ambitions, but it cannot do the good of our sector ", the conclusion.
