Introduzione: l’Impact assessment
L’impact assessment è uno strumento utilizzato dalla Commissione Europea per la valutazione ex-ante di progetti; è volto ad aiutare la decisione del decisore politico.
La metodologia è stata sviluppata ed implementata all’interno di uno studio di IA commissionato dalla Commissione Europea con l’obiettivo di stimare ex-ante alcuni fra i maggiori impatti delle politiche a favore dell’implementazione di un Maritime Common Space in Europa.
EC guidelines, pivotal steps of an IA:1 – identifying the problem
2 – define the objective
3 – develop main policy options
4 – analyse the impacts of the options
5 – compare the options
6 – outline policy monitoring and evaluation

Rationale del progetto
• Customs and tax rules• Immigration, trade• Statistics• Environment and waste• Phytosanitary, veterinary and healt protection• Security and safety regulations
Rallentano il trasporto marittimo ed intermodale, generando ridondanze e maggiori costi (posizione svantaggiata rispetto al trasporto stradale)
E’ necessaria una razionalizzazione, armonizzazione e riduzione di queste procedure, per aumentare la competitività dello SSS e stimolare
modal shift dalla strada.

Identification of 4 Policy OptionsA) Simplification of regulations on
carriage of dangerous goods in the case of “Authorised Regular Shipping Services”
B) License of “Authorised Regular Shipping Service” to be connected with operators (not with vessels)
C) Separation of areas in ports (Community and non-Community goods)
D) One-stop administrative shops in ports
E) Enhanced electronic data transmission (elimination of paperwork)
F) Single document for all administrative procedures
G) Maximum elimination of administrative procedures in ports
H) Use of English as second official administrative language
1) Additional time, delay of the ship and/or of the goods
2) Different procedures for SSS and road transport (in particular for dangerous goods)
3) Specific national procedures
4) Individual interpretations of EU legislation
5) Language requirements (English not universally accepted)
6) Not all ports recognise electronic manifests
7) “Authorised Regulars Shipping Service” Licence only for specific routes (linked to the vessel – not to the operator).

Descrizione del progetto: le policy options
Policy Options Measures involved Description
A Do-nothing No measure Evolution of the market according to the baseline scenario
B1 Licence of “Authorised Regular Shipping Service”, with simplifacations of dangerous goods’ procedures
• “Authorized Regular Shipping Service” Licence to be linked with operators;
• Simplification of regulations on carriage of dangerous goods in the case of “Authorized Regular Shipping Services”.
• Simplification of the regulations on Dangerous Goods, in the case of Authorised Regular Shipping Services; once authorized, there would be no need to stick to the complex procedures set by the IMDG Code and by Directive 2002/59 and by national regulations. A simplified regime could be devised. Harmonisation of regulations on maritime transport to the ones for road transport
• Linking the licence of Autorised regular liner service to the operators and not with routes/vessels.
B2 One-stop shops, Single Document, Electronic data transmission, use of English
• Electronic data transmission;• One-stop administrative shops in
ports • Single document;• Use of English as a second official
language for administrative procedures in SSS.
• Issuing of a single document and identification of one-stop administrative shops for traders (which also implies the implementation of appropriate information technologies for data transmission).
• Possibility of using English as the second language for all the maritime in relation to all administrative documents and procedures.
C Maximum Elimination of administrative procedures
Sum of B1 and B2 and Maximum Elimination of administrative procedures in port.
• Complete elimination of administrative procedures for vessels carrying EU-cleared goods between EU ports;
• Complete elimination of administrative procedures on EU-cleared goods;
• Reduction of inspection on vessel /goods in case of EU goods and of vessel with only EU goods on board;
• Maintaining a single electronic information flow and one shop stop concept (electronic single document delivered before ships’ arrival); single shop in ports, guaranteeing the ship-owner and the ship agent a single counterpart for the payment of fee and any other information exchanges;
• Extension of the status of “Regular Authorised Shipping Service” to operators and simplification of DG procedures (as PO B1);

Metodologia
L’ACB è uno degli strumenti che all’interno dell’IA si usa per effettuare la misurazione degli impatti.
La peculiarità della metodologia oggetto dello studio sta nell’approccio usato per implementare l’ACB, data l’ampia portata geografica degli impatti prodotti dalle politiche soggetto della valutazione.
Approccio congiunto bottom-up (generalmente usato in CBA per progetti di trasporto a livello locale) e top down

Main assumptions: ritardi su merci e navi dovuti a procedure amministrative
• No delay on vessels seems to be generated when carrying administrative procedure (<1h);• Different scenarios on delays on goods: no delay on goods for some major ports of the northern range (for instance
Belgium) is generated;• Delay for inspections affects only non-EU goods;
• Moreover, answers received by the stakeholder consultation have been considered and the following assumptions are set:
• for each time range, an average time (in hours) has been considered;• The overall delay is expressed as a probability value, weighted against
different percentages for each time range (related to percentage of answer within the time range1);

Quantificazione degli impatti: Bills of Lading
Peculiarità dell’ACB utilizzata:• Assessment costi di investimento (implementazione) su larga scala• Assessment dei costi/benefici di gestione
• time costs, valutati mediante l’utilizzo di stime del valore del tempo di trasporto merci inventory costs + delay costs
• time related costs dei FTE (personale Full Time Equivalent) coinvolti
Il calcolo è basato sul numero dei B/L (sui quali i controlli vengono effettivamente effettuati) piuttosto che sul numero di unità di carico movimentate o sulle tonnellate/km.
Si è tenuto conto dei diversi segmenti del trasporto SSS (container, Ro-Ro, Ro-pax, Ro-Lo, bulk), e delle diverse specificità delle merci (dangerous goods, animali vivi ecc..)
Inoltre, si è tenuto conto dello status delle linee intra EU (Authorised Regular Shipping Services e non ARSS), e dello status dei beni trasportati su queste linee (EU e non EU goods).

The assumptions made on average vessels’ capacities and load factors, validated y experts and stakeholders interviewed during the study[1]; the following parameters were assessed:
Average vessels’ capacities (considered for each type of vessel evaluated); average vessels’ loads (considered for each type of vessel evaluated); the share of cargo embarked/disembarked in each port of call on a shipping
line (considered per each type of vessel evaluated); conversion factors[2] from the number of LU[3] to the number of B/L; conversion factors[4] from the number of tonnes to the number of B/L;

Modal shift: riduzione dei costi esterni
By improving the internal efficiency of SSS, the policies determine a modal shift from Road and Rail. Thus, there is a positive impact in terms of reduction of external costs.
In the Base-line scenario, the modal shift for SSS of EU Goods in 2020 is equal to 8.6 bln tkm (0.77% of the total 1,116 bln tkm of SSS of EU Goods forecast).
• Based on indications from the previous EC Studies ISIC and MTCP, it is assumed that the EMS will determine an overall additional modal shift of:
• +0,097% in the Low Scenario• +0,194% in the High Scenario
In terms of external costs saved, the advantages equal an average of:
• 14.0 million Euro per year in the Low Scenario (ref. 2020)
• 28.0 million Euro per year in the High Scenario (ref. 2020)
Cumulated reduction of external costs up to 2040 (million Euro)

Riduzione dei Time cost dovuta alla riduzione dei ritardi sulle merci (incremento della puntualità)
Assumptions:
A reduction in the time required for carrying out administrative procedures could produce a proportional probability reduction in the delays on goods. However:
• most delays are not directly associated to “standard procedures (they are caused by periodic inspections on goods);
• Delays are not produced by the time spent preparing documents (before the arrival port the ship).

Assumptions:
• The consultation’s results and the data gathered through different interviews have been used for quantifying average delays in port;
• Delays on vessels, rare and never higher than 1 hour;
• Overall delay is expressed as a probability value, weighted against different percentages for each time range: the percentage of answers within each time range has been associated to the probability of happening of the specific event.

Conclusioni
• La comparazione totale dei costi e dei benefici, per tutte le opzioni, ha mostrato risultati positivi: a fronte di costi di implementazioni trascurabili si possono ottenere grandi benefici a livello comunitario. Nel caso in cui siano considerati solo i benefici interni (correlati solamente alle operazioni SSS), la comparazione fra costi e benefici risulta più bilanciata.
• Trade off fra semplificazione procedure perorata dalla (DG TREN e DG MARE) e riduzione della security potenziale dovuta alla riduzione di controlli doganali (DG TAXUD) che dovranno essere superate.
• Sussistono grandi differenze per quanto riguarda tempi delle operazioni e procedure fra nazioni e fra range portuali.
• Pilot exemption certificate e separation of areas in ports (non-EU goods, EU-goods, Schengen traffic). Misure infrastrutturali costose e non attuabili nella maggior parte dei porti.
• Il tema degli “Infected vessels” non è stato considerato.
La commissione ha adottato nel gennaio 2009 una comunicazione ed una proposta legislativa sull’implementazione di un European Maritime Space without barriers, in cui vengono recepiti i maggiori risultati di questo studio
