the ATO speeds up to set the purchase price

One month to complete all the assessments on the equity and economic-financial status of Irpiniambiente and set a price for the company shares that will have to be acquired by the Irpinia Municipalities. This time it’s the same Ato to establish a deadline for verifying the Provincial subsidiary to be purchased as the operational arm of the management of the integrated waste cycle. The president communicated this to the trade unions in the meeting held last afternoon Vittorio D’Alessiounusually supported in the discussion by the councilor of the area assembly Pasquale Giuditta, generally on divergent positions. A sign of the common desire to turn the page with respect to the establishment of the in-house limited company Irpinia Rifiuti Zero, rejected by both the Conte dei Conti and the Competition and Market Guarantor Authority.

The consultant identified by the Area Authority, Antonio Savino, an expert accountant and auditor, is already working on an overall estimate, starting from the latest accounting records, the state of vehicles and equipment and the debt and credit situation. For the rest of the data necessary for screening, documents would have been requested from the spa in via Cannaviello which should provide them this week.

Once this further step has been carried out, the ATO consultant will have one month to deliver the report which must also contain and justify the purchase price deemed most appropriate. An amount that could also differ significantly from that calculated by Irpiniambiente itself and announced by the president of the Province, Rizieri Buonopaneof 2,491,000 euros. It is also influenced by the efficiency of the service and the reduction of costs, as well as the presence of credits that are no longer collectible. The objective, therefore, is to accelerate and then complete the assignment procedure quickly. To do this there will be no need to convene the assembly of mayors, who will only be sent information on the process that will lead to the service being entrusted to Irpiniambiente, whose shares will have to be purchased by the municipalities in the provincial area.

Once the switch has been made, you will only have to wait for the approval of the Antitrust which will verify whether the choice complies with the requirements of reliability and the conditions of correct competition. «We are confident about the path taken by Collina Liguorini, states the secretary of Fit Cisl, Francesco Iandolo – but we always remain vigilant to ensure that everything proceeds in the right way. It is important to reach the objective in a short time and to normalize the system, also to answer the legitimate questions of the 500 Irpiniambiente employees who want clarity on their future. We have received extensive reassurances from the ATO summit. The path is now traced and even if Antitrust concerns were to be raised, the option of creating a new company is already ready, again by the Municipalities, as foreseen by the changes to the regional law on the subject which occurred last August”.

But there’s more. The Area Authority is now projected towards a solution in the short term, proof of this is the approval of the Irz budget to officially put it into liquidation. «They also confirmed to us the progress of the process on Irpinia Zero Waste resumes Codella which is moving towards its termination. Apparently, in a few days, once all the formalities required by the case have been completed, the appointment with the notary will also be scheduled. In short, we are really moving towards what will be the new system that gives the ATO control and planning regarding waste and the management of the service to the entrusted company. The hope is that there are no more problems and this chapter ends as soon as possible.”
