Normal. This is the word to describe the operation of the Technical Inspection of Vehicles (ITV) stations in Alcoy, Benidorm, Torrevieja and Villena, which launched the public administration this Monday after the return encouraged by the Ministry of Economy. Providing the service without any incidents and without recording the vehicle queue is something that the decision to schedule more intermittent appointments contributes to to avoid problems..
It was last Friday that half of the stations in the community completed their contracts to go into the hands of Valencian ITV Society (Sitval), a public company that will henceforth take over its management. In the province of Alicante, the four centers mentioned above, as well as those in Redován and Orihuela, are affected by this process, but in these cases the facilities remain private, thanks to a lease agreement with the Ministry’s concessionaires. Mobile units of Elda, Novelda and Pilar de la Horadada are in the same situationaffiliated with the same companies.
Over the weekend, technicians from the Institute for Business Competitiveness (Ivace) visited the stations to verify that everything was correct, and it was this Monday when the public administration was released with the operation back in normal, and no significant incidents were recorded. .
Ricardo Pérez, president of the Valencian Community of ITV Privileged Agencies (Aecova-ITV), indeed denounced it. The transfer of the newly built stations to the Ministry has not been made officially.. In his words, “Contrary to what has been said, no one from the Administration has come to hold the reception or bequeath the facilities, so we are in an unusual situation at the moment.” This fact led, in his particular case, to sign a written exception, as the owner of the Villena station. Be warned that we are not responsible for the stationbecause the administration is no longer ours”.
