Highways: the Antitrust starts a proceeding for tolls

by admin

MILAN. The Competition and Market Authority has initiated a non-compliance proceeding against Autostrade per l’Italia Spa (Aspi), the concessionaire for the management and maintenance of over 3,000 km of motorway network in our country. The procedure – specifies the Authority – was opened for non-compliance with the warning that required the company to cease the incorrect practice ascertained in March 2021, “given that Aspi has not reduced the cost of the toll and / or has not adopted any procedure to grant tariff concessions and reimbursements for motorway sections in which significant traffic problems occur due to extraordinary works for the safety of infrastructures that suffer from serious deficiencies in management and maintenance ».

At the end of the investigation, the Authority had sanctioned the concessionaire with the maximum amount of 5 million euros for the failure to reduce the toll on the A / 16 Napoli / Canosa, A / 14 Bologna / Taranto, A / 26 motorways Genova Voltri-Gravellona Toce and, for the parts of its competence, A / 7 Milano-Serravalle-Genova, A / 10 Genova-Savona-Ventimiglia and A / 12 Genova-Rosignano, in violation of articles 20, 22, 24 and 25 of the Consumer Code. In these sections – specifies the Antitrust – there were significant reductions in the lanes and / or specific limitations of the maximum speed allowed, with consequent considerable inconvenience not only for consumers but also for road hauliers, in terms of queues, slowdowns and significant increase in travel times.
