“It is essential to remove the disparities that penalize NCC operators compared to taxi drivers. An intervention is necessary to find a solution to the problems that afflict the chauffeur-driven rental sector and overcome the legislative discrepancies and inconsistencies that exist between European and Italian regulations on free movement”, explains Alberico Gambinocandidate of the Brothers of Italy for the European Parliament.
“There must be no discrimination – continues – between professional categories, which effectively limit freedom of enterprise. Rental with driver cannot be penalised, on the contrary, it must be considered a fully recognized option available to citizens with full dignity”.
“The European Commission will most likely launch an infringement procedure against Italy – explains Gambino – This will be to the detriment of a sector that is rapidly developing and of fundamental importance for our territory, but also for the whole of Italy, given the specific weight of the tourism sector in the national economy”.
“It is urgent to take stock of the issue – he concludes – to conceive and arrive at concrete solutions to guarantee fair competition, with fair legislation, and which act as a driving force for encouraging tourism. The right synergies must be created. It is worth it for the future of companies and the economy of an entire sector that lives on tourism.”
