Despite the ruling against, Markel Olano says they will continue to charge the N-1 and A-15 tolls.
- Gipuzkoa MP Markel Olano said on Wednesday in the Basque Country Irratia that the N-1 tolls are "basic and essential". It has considered that tolls charged to citizens for the use of roads with public money are important for "road maintenance". What's more, "in these times of resource reduction."
Olano said that if we had to get money out of taxes to do the analysis of the roads, "we would have to reduce some items of the social work", which "would be a major blow to the Gipuzkoans".
Illegal tolls for transporters on N-1 and A-15
The High Court of Justice of the Basque Country (TSJPV) has ratified the previous ruling this Tuesday and has declared the toll for lorries on the N1 and A15 roads of Gipuzkoa illegal.
The Member General has announced that he will appeal the judgment in cassation before the Supreme Court, because he wants legal certainty to be given to the foral rule. He recalled that, following the first judgment against tolls, the European Commission already stated that there was no indirect discrimination against external carriers.
Olano has insisted that the Government will continue to charge tolls until the judgment is final. It is only necessary for the Supreme Court to decide whether the toll is illegal, and Olano has admitted that if the courts do not give them the right, if they have to return to the citizens, it would be a lot of money: between EUR 8 and 9 million a year.
