BOLZANO. Over a thousand South Tyrolean companies have joined the petition launched in June by Cna Alto Adige and lvh.apa against the measure which comes into force on 1 October. The trade associations: “The affair demonstrates the system’s lack of respect for companies, especially SMEs.” “Yes to safety at work, no to the umpteenth paperwork that does nothing but slow down work, with costs for companies.”
With this motivation, South Tyrolean entrepreneurs joined en masse in the summer months to the petition launched in June by Cna Alto Adige Südtirol and lvh.apa against the introduction of credit-based driving licenses for companies working on construction sites. Over a thousand signatures collected through the “Openpetition” platform and delivered this morning, in the presence of the press, to SVP senator Meinhard Durnwalder, as the political representative.
“We declared it at the beginning of the summer and we reiterate it again a few days after the launch of the new measure: the credit license will not improve safety on construction sites. It is just yet another bureaucratic requirement – so the president of Cna Trentino-Alto Adige Claudio Corrarati and the president of lvh.apa Martin Haller who also criticize how this regulatory innovation was managed. The implementing decree arrived only ten days before the obligation came into force and since the Inspectorate portal was still being set up, the companies had to now present a self-declaration via certified e-mail in order to continue working. Self-declaration which they will have to repeat online as soon as the portal is active.
“Double work, double waste of time – comment the two presidents – demonstrating once again the little respect that the system has for small and medium-sized businesses which have always been the backbone of the South Tyrolean and national economy”.
