Fuel: new roadside installation

This includes fuel distribution plants, characterised by a service open to the generality of road users, located along roads and motorways, as well as the plant intended for the service of pleasure craft at the San Nicolò port in Riva del Garda and the plant intended for the service of aircraft at the Gianni Caproni Airport.

The start-up of this type of fuel distribution plant is subject to a prior authorisation to be requested from the Province, following the acquisition of a 'favourable opinion' from the Fire Prevention and Civil Protection Service and a feasibility opinion for the opening of accesses from the road or motorway operator.

The applicant company, if newly established, must already be registered in the commercial register and have started business.

An administrative penalty of between EUR 5,000 and EUR 30,000 shall be imposed on anyone who
- installs and operates a road or motorway fuel distribution facility without the prescribed authorisation
- installs and operates a fuel distribution facility for pleasure craft and aircraft in the absence of the prescribed authorisation.

Please refer to the regulations for all other cases in which penalties are provided for.

All companies and local public authorities wishing to install a new roadside petrol station.

There are no deadlines or deadlines.

It should also be noted that the office responsible for the preliminary investigation will have to obtain a mandatory opinion from the owner or manager of the road on which the installation overlooks. The 90 days indicated above do not include the time needed to acquire the aforementioned opinion.

The competent office, within the aforementioned term, shall authorise/not authorise the installation and operation, and shall notify the applicant by PEC. Please note that the authorisation must be attached to the request for the "building permit" required to carry out the installation works (the request must be submitted to the municipality)

Failure by the facility to comply with the procedural deadline allows the interested party to apply to the General Manager of the Department of Crafts, Commerce, Promotion, Sport and Tourism to request the conclusion of the procedure.

Please note that, in order to start the dispensing activity, it is necessary that within 90 days of the end of the installation of the system, the certification of the technician attesting to the conformity of the system with what was authorised be forwarded to the competent office (see the service sheet). This certification is necessary to submit the application for the issue of the operating licence to the Customs Monopolies Agency.
