The privatisation and the disagreements between TRAINOSE and ROSCO for the maintenance

Marianna Tzanne
Can the tender for the privatisation of the company rolling stock of the railroad is in the air, with the submission of binding offers by the end… of October, however, payments arising from the maintenance contract with TRAINOSE, are not paid and from the looks of it there is a strong disagreement between the two companies. Sources close to the company’s operation of the railroad, they argue that there is a difference of eur 2 million. euro for the amount at stake, as well as contested open both the costs and the way the maintenance. Overall for the period 2014 to today (which was the period of economic pending) the cost of maintenance services of TRAINOSE is estimated to be approximately 17 cm. euro. From what until last week had been filled to about 10 cm. euro and left the rest of it-related services that have been invoiced for the current period. However, although the bulk of these debts were associated with the indifference of the French Alstom from the last contest of privatisation of ROSCO, a fact that is being questioned openly by executives of TRAINOSE – however the debt remains. And the reason is not that the money is not there in the fund of the company, but why are given –consciously – with the dropper. In TRAINOSE, indeed, argue that these amounts are calculated without documents and to show the size of the challenge of the work of the ROSCO note that the company uses two diesel locomotives for passenger and freight work as one needs to “pulls” the other because it is not well maintained. Leave even the shadows and for the last event in the suburban railway, as the train which did not stop in the terminal was as a result of a fall on the bars and two wagons derailed –fortunately without casualties-The damage caused is estimated at 1 million. euro. As reported by the Committee set up to investigate the causes of the crazy driving the suburban was convened one on and since then “radio silence”.
The issue of maintenance of the rolling stock has been challenged in the past by trade union members of the CIU, which had blocked the processes of privatisation as well as the signature of διαιτερικών contract with TRAINOSE and the ΓΑΙΑΟΣΕ (for the lease of real estate) was a prerequisite for it to proceed with the privatisation. Finally signed with the intervention of the FUND.
Under the terms of the new tender for the company maintenance of rolling stock, which airs Friday, interested parties are invited to submit their interest until 12 September 2016. Those who pass to the next stage you will need to submit their binding offers on October 31, 2016.
The contest is taking place in a different environment from the moment the Italian σιδηροδρόμοι are the suitors of TRAINOSE and the big favorite unless something happens to ROSCO.
The last was founded in March 2013 and operates in the maintenance and the smooth operation of the railway rolling stock. Originally a part of the CIU, in the process, however, became independent and operates as a fully independent company with separate management and organisation.
