ABRUZZO.
On the occasion of World Water Day on Sunday 22 March, and Legambiente Altreconomia presented the dossier "The lottery concession fees for mineral water ." The research deals with the national framework of concession fees established by the Regions Italian and paid by the concessionaires.
In Italy there is a national industry and concession fees paid by companies to the regions are nothing short of ridiculous, in some cases, the relative absence of regional standards, shall be settled even by the Royal Decree of 1927.
these mechanisms in detail and the fees in different Italian regions:
in 9 regions (Basilicata, Campania, Lazio, Lombardy, Marche, Piedmont, Sicily, Umbria, Veneto) is expected to pay a fee twice: one in depending on the surface of the grant and one for the volumes of tapped water or bottled water;
into 8 regions (Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Liguria, Molise, Puglia, Sardinia, Trentino, Valle d'Aosta) is provided only fee based on the surface of the concession;
in one region (Abruzzo) is a system of annual flat-rate pricing, regardless volumes and surfaces of the concession.
"The" discipline of medicinal waters "in the Abruzzo region," said Legambiente and Altraeconomia, "is in fact regulated by the Regional Law n. 15 of 2002 establishing for the period 2009 to 2010 a fee award "mineral water" amounted to € 2829.90 and a concession fee "spring waters" amounting to € 1,414.88. The concessions also in Abruzzo, on 31.12.2008, amounted to 14 for a total of almost 810 hectares. "" The fee paid to the regions - said Angelo Di Matteo, president of Legambiente, Abruzzo - over not be uniform across the country in general is laughable and does not consider all costs associated with the activity of bottling, transport and consumption of mineral water. It is necessary that all regions immediately adapt the legislation to address document of the Conference of the Regions in 2006. " "The Policy Document of the Italian regions on natural mineral waters and spring of 2006 - continued Luzio Nelli, secretary of Legambiente Abruzzo - provides for the determination of the fee in accordance with the principles of the protection and enhancement of water resources, and into account the impact of water bottling and sampling activities in the territories. I reference values \u200b\u200bcalculated as proposed for the definition of the canon are, therefore, be at least € 30 per hectare or fraction of a given area, ranging from € 1 to € 2.5 per thousand liters of bottled water or part thereof, and including from € 0.5 to € 2 for every thousand liters or fraction of tapped water. "" These values \u200b\u200bare not contained in the regional legislation - culminating with representatives of - that need, even for the image region of Abruzzo Verde , for an urgent update. This update of the local communities can only benefit. " 14:32 From PRIMADANOI.IT21/03/2009
