For industry associations and FIABA it would be a missed opportunityin the year of the G7 dedicated to accessibility which will be held in Italy (specifically in Umbria) from 14 to 16 October next, not being able to present solid support for the accessibility measure confirmed until 2025. Support which is oriented towards improvement of the quality of life for at least part of the 3.5 million citizens, equal to 7.2% of the population over 15 years of age, in particular the most fragile, those with motor disabilities and/or the elderly.
The Associations, unanimously, e TALE they therefore ask the Government to reconsider the measurement and continue to allow the transfer of credit and discount on invoices for interventions to remove architectural barriers: a sustainable cost for a measure with a very high social impact.
