Armani (Anas): “Together with Fs, no tolls on roads already paid. The Bridge over the Strait will cost less” – The Republic

MILAN – Anas bride-to-be to the Railroads of the State will not bring the italians to impose tolls for roads already paid by the italians”. Is the warranty offered by the president of the society of management of the road network, Gianni Vittorio Armani, in a conversation with journalists on the sidelines of a conference on road safety. Yesterday, at the presentation of the plan of Fs, Renato Mazzoncini has put in agenda the wedding with the same Anas, provided that there is financial autonomy by the latter. Being in the perimeter of the Pa, he explained, in fact, Mazzoncini, Anas you can debt to invest in infrastructure.

Just thinking of the financial autonomy of Anas, the step necessary for the appointment of the company’s road to the sf’s, “there are two hypotheses on the table and on a we are focusing: the public-private partnership (Ppp)” with the State, he added, today Armani. It is not excluded, instead the toll “for the new works and new services, but at present is not on the table of the hypotheses”.

The president has a little braked on time tight indicated by the linking of the Fs: “Surely the bureaucracy has need of steps less aggressive,” said Armani. The assumptions of the public-private partnership, said the president of Anas, “is less sexy of the toll and expect the State to interface with a company, even in public, as if it were private, and signing a contract for the management, paying a fee for the service and transferring the risk to the business.” “So,” continued Armani – you can have a financial independence and exit from the perimeter of the Pa. This legislation is there, you just have to write the contract and put a mechanism to measure the quality,” he added. The mechanism of public-private partnership, provides that the consideration to be paid to Anas will be regulated in the programme Agreement with the assumption is no longer a contribution to the sinking fund, but an amount for the service provided. A payment that takes into account the traffic, and then the use of the roads, of the planned investments and performance indicators on the quality of the services offered. As for the timing, Armani has explained that “running” by the middle of 2017, it will be possible an input in the Fs.

could Not miss the reference to the Bridge on the Straits, presented in these days by premier Matteo Renzi. From the perspective of its realization, Armani has pointed out that the presence of a new subject, Anas, Fs will result in a significant reduction of financial charges in the “Fs funds 0,5-1%”, explained the president, stating that the Bridge, “having been conceived in the project financing, transferred the risks with a price tag attached very bad”. “Going to take a look at the costs of the Bridge, he continued, Armani – the up-front capital cost of the bridge is about 4 billion, to which are added 1.2 billion of non-functional works, and the remaining 2.7 billion are financial charges”. A view of the endless story of the work, then, came the request for clarity: “If the decision is made, then let’s do it, but let’s get to the bottom though. Once a decision has been taken, then there’s no going back”.
