Between 2010 and 2014 only in Spain the public tariffs are more than rincarate Italian . If in Madrid the average increase was 23.7%, in Italy, as has happened in Ireland, the increase was 19.1 percent. Among the major countries of Europe, however, France has recorded an average annual inflation of 12.9%, while Germany scored a retouching upward price only by 4.2 percent. The euro area has increased by 11.8% in administered prices: more than 7 percentage points lower than here. And ‘what emerges from the calculations made by the Research Department of the CGIA Mestre that in addition to running a comparison between the performance of administered prices in the major countries of Europe also analyzed the trend recorded between 2004 and the first 11 months of 2014 the tariffs of the main public services in our country.
In the last boom year of waste. Electricity, gas and transport are the expenditure items that weigh more on Budgets
In the last 10 years, compared to an increase in inflation in Italy was 20.5%, the ‘ Water has increased by 79.5%, 70.8% of the waste, the ‘ electricity 48.2%, the tolls 46 , 5%, it ransport rail of 46.3%, the gas 42.9%, the urban transport 41.6% The taxi 31.6% and postal services by 27.9 percent. Of all the items analyzed, only phone services have decreased: -15.8 percent. For the secretary of CGIA, Giuseppe Bortolussi , “In our country highest increases have affected local rates. If regarding water prices charged are still now among the lowest in Europe, the increases from waste are totally unjustifiable. Because of the economic crisis, in the last seven years there has been a real vertical drop in household consumption and business : consequently also decreased the amount of waste produced. Therefore, with less garbage to be collected and disposed of, rates had come down, instead, they are inexplicably increased. ” Consider that in the last year, following the transition from the Tares to Tari , Italians have even paid 12.2% more, compared to an inflation which has increased only 0.3 percent. “
The analysis of Bortolussi concludes by examining the causes which have increased other tariff items.” The increases gas have certainly suffered from the raw material costs and exchange rate – he says – while the ‘ electricity trend in oil prices and the increase in general system costs , in particular for the coverage of the incentive schemes of renewable sources. Urban transport, however, were affected by increases in the cost of fuel and labor. It should not be forgotten that m olti 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 . Moreover, despite the liberalization that occurred in recent decades have 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 ” .
