THE CALCULATIONS OF CGIA MESTRE

Rates in Italy rises records
Only in Spain rose by more

Between 2010 and 2014 there was an increase of 19.1%. Boom waste with Tari

VENICE Between 2010 and 2014 only in Spain the public tariffs are rincarate more of our. If in Madrid the average increase was 23.7%, in Italy, the increase was 19.1%. The Euro area has suffered an increase in administered prices by 11.8%. The calculations were carried out by studies of CGIA Mestre. Also last year, following the transition from the Tares Tari, Italians have paid 12.2% more, compared to an inflation which has increased by only 0.3%.

The comparison highlights that among the major countries of Europe, France has recorded an average annual inflation of 12.9 while Germany scored a retouching upward price only 4.2. The euro area has increased by 11.8% in administered prices: more than 7 percentage points lower than here. If you look instead to the individual expenditure items, however, it turns out that in the last 10 years, compared to an increase in inflation in Italy was 20.5%, the water was up 79.5, the waste of 70.8, the electrical energy of 48.2, 46.5 tolls, rail transport of 46.3, the gas of 42.9, 41.6, urban transport, taxi service of 31.6 and postal services 27.9. Of all the items analyzed, only phone services have suffered a decrease of -15.8%. For the secretary of Cgia Giuseppe Bortolussi, “in our country the highest increases have affected local rates. If as regards water prices charged are still now among the lowest in Europe, the increases from waste are totally unjustif iable. Because of the economic crisis – still – in the last 7 years there has been a real vertical drop in household consumption and business: consequently also decreased the amount of waste produced. ” Therefore, according Bortolussi, “with less garbage to be collected and disposed of, rates were down, however, are inexplicably increased.

Think in the last year, as a result the transition from the Tares Tari, Italians have even paid 12.2% more, compared to an inflation which has increased by only 0.3 “. The analysis of Bortolussi concludes by examining the causes which have increased other tariff headings. “The increases in gas have certainly affected by the cost of raw materials and the exchange rate – notes – while the power of the trend of oil prices and the increase in the general expenses of the system, in particular for the coverage schemes encouragement of renewable sources. Urban transport, however, were affected by increases in the cost of fuel and labor. It should not be forgotten that many price increases are attributable also to the weight tax burden on the rates that, unfortunately, we have reached peaks not found in the rest of Europe. ” In addition, the Secretary concludes CGIA, “despite the liberalization that occurred in recent decades hav e affected most of these areas, the results were unsatisfactory. In principle, we are called to pay more, but the quality of the services provided has not undergone significant improvements. We hope that the reduction in oil prices recorded in recent months for the coming year involves a reduction in tariffs, especially electricity, gas and transport which are the main items of expenditure which could affect the balance sheets of households and small businesses Italian » .
