Unioncamere, 1,5 miliardi di danni l'anno da interruzioni valichi alpini

The crisis situations at Alpine crossings cause annual damages of up to 1.5 billion euros to the Italian economy. Each year, 200 million tons of goods transit through the Alps, representing 90% of Italy's trade value with EU countries. A study by Unioncamere highlights the importance of these crossings for Italy's competitiveness. It suggests recognizing Alpine crossings as strategic economic infrastructures and calls for a coordinated European management system for goods flows. The study also advocates for mandatory assessments of economic impacts during planned restrictions and ongoing monitoring of interruption costs.
