For the Italian paper industries, both those familiar both subsidiaries of multinationals, the risk is always more concrete: transfer activity outside the beautiful country, because of the cost energy here that continue to rise, rather than fall, increasing the gap with Germany, Sweden, Finland and France.
The alarm, another arrives by the paper industry Assocarta today in Lucca the opening of the 22nd International Fair Miac on technological innovations of the sector (270 exhibitors, 40% international), will make its voice by matching incoming measurements intended to drive up energy costs even more, the main item of expenditure for factories of paper and paperboard.
First, the increased burden of the gas system, which will take effect from 1 January 2016 to finance renewable thermal energy, and that will bring the bill in the bill for the paper industry to exceed 200 million euro per year. Second, the inadequacy and ineffectiveness of tax relief for energy-electricity. The finger is pointed at in this case the prediction of a maximum discount of 60%, says the president of Assocarta Paul Culicchi, “against a minimum of 85% in Germany and France, where there is also a cap on the payment of charges for energy-intensive businesses or 0.5% of value added, in compliance with the guidelines on state aid in Europe. ” In Italy, however, the relief only inadequate is unrealized, as for 2013 the measure is frozen in the absence of guarantee, while for 2014 had to be paid by September and will, perhaps, later this year. “If you then efficiency and environmental sustainability with the self, this is also taxed retroactively,” Culicchi attacks.
From here the impact on the competitiveness of Italian paper, which exports 44 % of production (with peaks of 57% for paper for sanitary use), which is likely to result in flight from Italy.
