Transport is lagging behind the liberalisation process under way in other Italian public utilities. The new General Plan for Transport (PGT) - to be completed by November 1999 - is a good chance to turn the Italian policy towards deregulation and pro-competitive regulation, in accordance with the European Commission approach. In this perspective the paper assesses alternatives concerning access charges for infrastructure costs (especially airports and rail tracks); franchising and yardstick competition in local transport services; ownership and procurement contracts; the role of budget constraints in improving performance and regulatory institutions such as independent authorities and government agencies.

Abstract
Transport is lagging behind the liberalisation process under way in other Italian public utilities. The new General Plan for Transport (PGT) - to be completed by November 1999 - is a good chance to turn the Italian policy towards deregulation and pro-competitive regulation, in accordance with the European Commission approach. In this perspective the paper assesses alternatives concerning access charges for infrastructure costs (especially airports and rail tracks); franchising and yardstick competition in local transport services; ownership and procurement contracts; the role of budget constraints in improving performance and regulatory institutions such as independent authorities and government agencies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
