“The news of the postponement of the deadlines for PEF approval is positive – said the director of Anci Toscana Simone Gheri in his speech – even if unfortunately it is of little use to the Municipalities that will vote. While we are seeing significant increases in tariffs and we ask that Arera take greater responsibility for the problems and differences found in the territories, avoiding decisions taken without taking into account the needs of the Municipalities. The burden on the Fcde’s budgets and our request that a vertical and not horizontal equalization be adopted for the FSC (Municipal Solidarity Fund) remain: the equalization resources should be provided by the State, not by the Municipalities.” Gheri also recalled that Anci Toscana has written again to the Court of Auditors of Tuscany, to obtain clarification on the ongoing investigation into the use by Municipalities of resources deriving from savings actions during the pandemic period (such as the renegotiation of mortgages.
For his part, the Livorno councilor Viola Ferroni underlined the importance of the conference “especially at a time when recent regulatory changes enrich the framework of obligations and choices that technicians and administrators must make in synergy”; she also then commented on the news of the extension of the TARI tariff deadlines to 30 June, which “requires a reflection on the regulation of the waste service, which must find a definitive agreement between managers and municipalities – she stated – The intervention of Anci, which in the national discussions, as it always promptly does, will be able to request an intervention from the regulator ARERA to enable the municipalities to decide with a broad programmatic horizon and greater decision-making autonomy.”
The initiative represented an important moment of discussion also to relaunch the activity of the Council of financial managers of Anci Toscana, a place of synthesis, exchange and support for the offices which, especially in the smaller municipalities, are in difficulty due to deadlines and obligations continue.
