Romano Valente, Director General of
'Urnae performs the symbol par excellence of levies: a postal from 9 euro was created in 1967, for the case of security Ministry of Transport and Public Works. Until 1992 was used to fund funeral expenses and dental care, then they are untraceable in the cauldron of state revenues.
Returning to the most current, the supply chain of foreign firms has 135,000 Italian workers, including 91,000 in dealerships, the same houses foreign buy 8.5 billion euro of Italian components. Data that are meditating on the concept of "national" or "foreign" in the Italy of 2012.
Gianmarco Giordano, director of
Anfia (National Association of Automotive Industries) illustrates a situation that can not be negative. Minus signs in all areas, with a -20.5% for cars up to a -34% of trailers and semi-trailers. To blame? Efficiency of the labor market in which Italy is 123simo instead of 142, where efficiency means not just the "workers" but also bureaucracy, infrastructure and costs. Just think of the cost of energy which can weigh up to 4% of sales, a figure that puts our country attractive to foreign investment. Proposals to the government to work together for an industrial policy on the car there are the serious fact is that we are losing parts of the supply chain because the volumes are not sufficient. You have to make the country more competitive and a proposal is just the business houses on the cost of energy, which can be lowered by 5% immediately.
Gian Primo Quagliano president of the
Centro Studi Promotor strives for the green economy to boost the economy of the country and does not spare criticism of the government for the rage against the auto industry. The equation = Technical Teachers is not true in an absolute sense, those who have worked in the government technical best are those who had already had a technical background. Rejected in full the incentive plan: Decree misspelled, small number of models concerned, and a gross technical error: they are virtually exempt from scrapping the private sector, while companies should scrap models 10 years of age, when it is known that no company has the its fleet of cars so dated.
Fabio Bertolotti director
Assogomma spoke of the problems of loss of production due to lower auto sales, so the original equipment. The more severe the crisis instead of heavy vehicles. There have been considerable investment on the part of the companies of the tires on the front of the energy label but are fundamental controls on the market. There are some brands that sell tires made with substances prohibited by the Ministry of Health, but the spending review has been reset appropriations relating to controls. Will then be penalized companies that have invested billions of euro in research and will benefit those who sell products at low cost without regulatory compliance. No one wants to benefits or contributions, but that compliance with the rules.
Rita Caroselli, Director
Assgasliquidi / Federchimica, emphasizes that LPG and gaseous fuels are considered by the EU pillar of sustainable mobility. Until 2005, the market for LPG car conversion was mainly since 2006 the sale of cars with systems already installed and in 2012 the first installation system surpasses the conversion. A market in which Italian companies are industry leaders. In 2012, even without incentives, LPG increased by double and there is also increased on CNG. With regard to the production, in Italy 40% of the LPG comes from refineries, the rest is imported as produced by extraction of methane. From this point of view, the greater demand for LPG does not change the prices relatively to the refining process.
As expected the time is not rosy, but on this occasion no one has spoken of contributions or premiums. Instead, there is a strong demand for the government of engaging stakeholders and above all that will be corrected immediately some bad decisions taken so far.
