ANITA, the traffic arranged accompanied on the axis of Brenner is not a efficient solution for the modal transfer of the goods



The traffic arranged accompanied on the axis of Brenner is not a efficient solution for the modal transfer of the goods. Italian-German supports the association of the road haulage ANITA in sight of the technical encounter on the problematic ones of the street transit on the axis of the Brenner that will hold next monday, transit - he has evidenced ANITA - "than from next 1° January he will clearly endure a worsening as a result of the extension of the "sector prohibition" to other types of goods, in addition to those already prohibited to the transit. The sector prohibition - it has specified the association - will force some goods that cannot journey on the road to Brenner to use obligatorily the ROLA of the railroads Austrians with the modality of the arranged transport accompanied, less efficient and more expensive modality regarding the arranged transport not-accompanied".

"If it is looked at to politics of the modal transfer from the road to the railroad adopted from the Helvetic Confederation - it has found ANITA - appears obvious that it has headed from always for the arranged transport not-accompanied as it is more efficient and functional to the displacement of the goods on the alpine arc, regarding the arranged transport accompanied". "Politics Austrian on the railway transit to Brenner - the president of the association has explained, Thomas Baumgartner - are not other that an obvious financing to the railroads Austrians OEBB which does not offer the service of the arranged transport not-accompanied, not having the necessary terminals in Italy or Germany".

According to ANITA, "the risk of strong contributions only to the ROLA from part Austrian, represents a disincentive to the arranged transport for operators not-accompanied, without to consider that while first only transfers the trucks on drawn breviums, the second is competitive only on the long drafts. Every euro of granted contribution to the arranged transport not-accompanied has a triple effect regarding that producing from the arranged transport accompanied".

"It is necessary - Baumgartner has asserted - that Austria subsidies in the same way and fairly every intermodal transport of transit through Tirol, is it accompanied (ROLA) or not accompanied. It is necessary that Italy and Germany are in agreement to strongly contrast this politics persecuted from lesiva and distorsiva Austria as of the competition between operators, that goes to advantage of the railroads Austrians".

The association of the road haulage has found moreover that "RFI (Italian Railway Net) does not have sufficient traces for being able to increase the rail shipment necessary to absorb all the goods that will not be able more to journey on the road because of the sector prohibition". "Austria - Baumgartner has denounced - has headed at this point to a tightening-up of the sector prohibition in Tirol that will have strong glares negatives on the interchange of the goods with origin/destiny in Italy. We ask that in the immediate one and as possible alternative to an economic damage that is sure, the vehicles registered Euros 6 after on August 31, 2018, vehicles GNL, those constituents and the H2 are exempted are from the sector prohibition but also from the night prohibition and can journey of night without to correspond the onerous night toll on the Innsbruck-Brenner feature and are exempted also by all the prohibition, as those for the saturday morning. This would allow to dilute the road traffic on the arc of the 24 hours, with completely sustainable an environmental impact".

"In case contrary - it has concluded Baumgartner - other solution for our Country and Germany does not remain that to head at an infraction procedure, by means of the referring of Austria to the Law court EU, with demand for suspensory for the provisions of limitation to the street transit". In order to ask for this step, ANITA has wished that in the next summit Italian-German of the end of December "a common agreement reaches on the actions of contrast to place in being with urgency regarding the policies of Austria - than already in the past EU is condemned by the Law court - for analogous provisions and that also the new EU commission intends to act as up to now it has not made, in order to restore the principle of the free circulation of the goods in the European Union".
