«It was a slip, unfortunately painful, we hope it will be remedied as soon as possible, because frankly the Italian industry already has many problems, I think it is not the right way to go and look for them. A road that does not go in the direction of sustainability. A bolt from the blue that we hope will be remedied as soon as possible ». Thus the president of Confindustria Carlo Bonomi, on the sidelines of the small industry assembly in Alba, comments on the rule that modifies the rules for exceptional transport contained in the Infrastructure Decree, denounced on the pages of the Sole 24 Ore.
With the new rules, costs and traffic on the roads multiply
A standard that would have very negative impacts on the manufacturing sectors directly affected, from steel to the transport of large concrete beams or huge blocks of stone. In practice, the rule introduced in the decree provides that it is not possible to carry out exceptional multi-load transports, except in the case of unique pieces. Therefore, what up until now could travel on a single truck should be transported on several trucks, with significant increases in costs and traffic on the roads.
The change on the valuation of companies’ assets is unacceptable
In the «opposite direction», with damage to businesses, as for the stop at the patent box, «in the budget law there is also a modification of the discipline of the valuation of assets and realignment of the fiscal value of the assets of the companies. It is something that cannot be accepted », said the president of Confindustria during his speech in Alba. “It cannot be accepted – emphasized Bonomi – because the assumption for which this is substantially killed is because the Mef realizes that this rule, which was introduced by the previous government, has taken on such an important measure that they had not well quantified the expense. It means that it worked very well ». Then the leader of the industrialists underlined: “But which country is the one to which a public error can be remedied with damage to private individuals?”
Businesses want to grow, industry is hiring
“We want to grow, we want to hire, not lay off, we are starting up again, the industry is hiring”, underlined President Bonomi, who at the end of the Small Industry Forum reiterated the need to stimulate internal demand. “To do this – he observed – we must put more money in the pockets of Italians and consequently lower the cost of labor to make our businesses competitive”. The president of the industrialists recalled that the world of work has transformed and we no longer need to safeguard the world of work as it was because that is not the solution. The solution is to put the individual at the center, his formation, his relocation, these are the active policies of the future, it is necessary to put people, their rights at the center and not the specters of a slave-master class struggle again. “.
Green pass: the only ones to keep straight bar in support of the government
On the green pass, said the president of the industrialists in Alba, “we have shown that we are the only ones in Italy who have held the bar straight and supported the government in a very difficult operation, in a complex social provision”. Bonomi asked to listen to the companies. In all the measures on the world of work that involve companies, companies are not listened to. I believe that every now and then we should also have the humility to listen to those who do that job, perhaps from someone who has never worked a day in their life “. And he underlined that “unfortunately what I have defined as the battle of the flags is returning. It is a pity at a time when we have the great opportunity to be able to spend the funds of the NRP and it should be time to concentrate everyone’s efforts for growth ».
