Beyond the Bolkestein Directive: what future for Italian markets and street vendors?

Monday 5 February at 17,30 pm, at the Serapo Hotel in Gaeta, in the province of Latina, will take place the General Assembly of the street vendors of the Province of Latina, promoted by the National Ambulant Association (ANA) in collaboration with the Business Association Today, with which the contents of the Budget Law 2018/2020 (n.205 of 27.12.2017) will be deepened, where they have been extended "The existing concessions" to 31.12.2020 and have been excluded from the application areas of Legislative Decree no. 59 / 2010 - and therefore from the Calls - the street vendors, "Also by way of derogation from the art.16".

In this way the Government and Parliament - concerned about the social repercussions that the application of the Bolkestein Directive to itinerant trade would have entailed - art. 1, paragraphs 1180 and 1181, established principles with which they definitively overturned the liberal principles that had motivated the Bolkestein Directive, which, if applied, would have determined the certain death of about 200.000 small itinerant businesses in Italy in twelve years, with over one million employees and collaborators, of which about 4.000 in the Provinces of Latina and Frosinone, with at least 35 direct and indirect employees.

The Assembly, therefore, wants to be not only an opportunity to deepen this great result of the NO BOLKESTEIN Movement of Italy, of which the ANA and Business Associations Today, have been protagonists, but wants to examine the problems that peddle the peddlers every day , from the TOSAP to the COSAP, from the TARSU to the COMMERCIAL ABUSIVISM, to the conditions of the weekly and daily markets.

We will talk about the state of the markets of Latina, Fondi, Terracina, Formia, Itri, Sperlonga and many Municipalities of the Province of Latina.

The National President and ANA National Secretary, Vincenzo Caiazzo and Marrigo Rosato will speak at the meeting.
