Federlogistica urges the immediate establishment of a substation on duties and bureaucracy. "No one - explained the president of the federation, Davide Falteri, motivating the request - can read into the crystal ball and predict how much and what will happen in terms of duties. But one thing is certain: after President Trump's umpteenth announcement on possible tariffs on the 30% towards Europe - then perhaps withdrawn, as often happened in past - we can no longer afford to passively suffer the game of international speculation. Announcements and denials send markets into a tailspin and enrich a few, while economies real ones, such as the Italian one, risk losing billions". "Such a measure - he pointed out - would have effects very serious on the entire European logistics and production chain, affecting Italy in particular, with a possible loss of 15 billion in exports, 10 billion in GDP and 178,000 jobs in smoke, especially in the South. Agri-food, mechanics, Pharmaceuticals: it is our sectors of excellence that pay the price higher".

"Faced with this scenario - continued the president of Federlogistica - a control room is urgently needed on logistics, involving the main representatives of road transport, integrated logistics, shipping, the Blue Economy, trade, industry and public bodies in charge such as customs, ministries, control bodies. We need to address the effects of the global trade tensions and prevent companies from become victims of a geopolitical chessboard led by speculative interests. The cabin - specified Falteri - will have Two fundamental tasks: on the one hand, to monitor the effects of the of the increase in duties on ports, freight rates, prices and exports, to activate countermeasures to defend the national logistics chain; on the other hand, transform the elimination of extra costs - bureaucracy first and foremost - into a priority objective. We can no longer allow Let our inefficiencies act as ballast while the world Runs. The message - he concluded - is clear: Italy must stop chasing crises. We need awareness, vision and a united action. Because the next crash, this time, it could be real."
