Il-GRTU aktar
kmieni dan ix-xghar kitbet ghan nom tal-burdnara lis-Sur Joseph Brincat,
Kontrollur tad-Dwana, u ghamlet referenza ghall-laqgha li kellha mas-Sur Paul
Bonello, Director Compliance flimkien mas-Sur Tartaglia, Assistant Director
landing and releasing fejn giet diskussa l-proposta fid-dettal dwar ic-caqlieq
mill-Labaratory Wharf, Deep Water Quay u l-Freeport tal- containers u
trailers li jinhattu gol-groupage Depot
ta' Hal-Far.
Il-GRTU
spjegat li ma' taqbel assolutament xejn ma' din l-proposta l-ghaliex din
is-sistema ser terga tehodna lura fis-sebghajnijiet (70's) fejn l-gvern ta' dak
iz-zmien kien gustament iddecieda li jiccentralizza dan l-operat bil-ghan li
jkun taht solveljanza kontinwa tad-Dwana.
Bis-sistema
eziztenti l-containers u t-trailers jigu scanned minhabba li jkun hemm xoghol
suggett ghad-dazju u VAT bil-ghan li jigi kkontrollat kull abbuz, mentri
bis-sistema li qed tigi proposta dan kollu ser jintilef.
Il-GRTU
ilha ghal zmien twil tikteb u tirraporta
li qieghed jsir kull forma ta' abbuz f'merkanzija li tidhol bi trailers permezz
tal-Catamaran. Ezempju wiehed min hafna: pallet imbid irrilaxxat Hal-Far
suggett ghall-EAD (accompanying document for movement of excise goods under
suspension of excise duty) u suggett ghal-VAT. Fil-kas tal-Catamaran
ma' jezizti l-ebda kontrol kemm fi hlas kif ukoll f'dokumenti.
F'dan
l-kaz l-GRTU tistaqsi, "jekk d-Dwana qatt ma' hadet passi dwar dan l-abbuz li
kontinwament qieghed jiggrava u li bhala
awtorita ghandha kull poter u dover li taghmel, kif ser tkun f'posizzjoni
li terga tintroduci sistema li ser
issarraf f'aktar abbuz u b'inqas kontroll".
Il-GRTU
thoss li jekk tittiehed din d-decizjoni mhux biss ser ibaghtu l-burdnara, izda
ser tigi affetwata s-sistema
tat-traffiku u fuq kollox l-finanzi tal-pajjiz f'nuqqas ta' revenue ghall-gvern
fejn jigu evitati kemm id-dazju u l-VAT. Abbuzi ohra li jistghu ikunu hafna
iktar gravi huma, kazi ta'kutrabandu u
importazzjoni ta'materjal u sustanzi illegali.
Il-GRTU
irrakomandat ukoll illi l-iscanner ghandu jkun rilokat minn Hal Far ghall-port
biex jigi assigurat illi it-trailers u containers verament jigu scannjati hekk
kif jinzlu minn fuq il-vapuri u mhux wara li jkunu diga qasmu nofs Malta.
Il-GRTU
ghaldaqstant tablet ghal laqgha sabiex tkun tista tghaddi aktar informazzjoni
ta' fejn qed isir aktar abbuz.
