CARGA Y DESCARGA
Despite how long the processing process has taken over time, the rush has dominated the last days prior to its approval by the Government, the same day that it announced the call for general elections for April 28.
The Ministry of Development handed over the project in early February to the National Transport Committee, which had to make an express revision of the text, since the Ministry wanted to take it to the Council of Ministers as soon as possible, to give it an output in the BOE before the dissolution of the Government.
In this review, the members of the Committee found a point that set off alarm bells: the possibility that the new ROTT allowed entry with a single vehicle and without seniority, a requirement that Fomento had promised to maintain. The procedure would be through a small trick: making a initial leasing with a vehicle of more than 3.5 tons of MMA less than five months old and, once the authorization has been obtained, acquire another older vehicle, including a tractor unit, up to twelve years old, and then deregister the vehicle of the renting.
On Wednesday, February 13, the National Transport Committee He proposed an alternative text to Fomento, including a threat to call mobilizations, even with a lockout, if it was not accepted, understanding that Fomento would be failing to comply with one of the twelve points presented in November as unavoidable to improve the situation of the sector: approve the new ROTT with the consensus of the Committee.
