Protectionist policies <\/strong>developing in Europe as laws that impinge on minimum wage of hauliers in transfer, let us to shed light on legislative changes in Italy and France. For this reason we have asked Studio legale Callipari, Golia di Infogestweb and Dr. Sergio Antonaccio of Transport European Studies Centre to help us understanding the Italian law.<\/p>\n

Is Minimum Wage Italian Law as Macron Law?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Notwithstanding few don\u2019t know it, we remember that Macron Law<\/a>, in force since last July 1st, concerns all transport companies non-resident in France who move hauliers on French territory for international transport <\/strong>\u00a0with departure and arrival in France or with cabotage deals<\/strong> (excluding transport in transit).<\/p>\n

The decree is applied to companies established in other Member State of EU and that, as for the field of services rendering, send in transfer in Italy one or more workers in favour of another company. Surprisingly the Italian government has not still settled if the application of this new rule affects only cabotage deals<\/strong> or if, on the contrary, will take into account international transport with departure and arrival in Italy.<\/p>\n
