Consip, the central purchasing department of the Ministry of Economy, decided to cancel the agreement in Liguria, Val d'Aosta, Piedmont, Lombardy and Lazio, "for non-profit repeated, serious and meaningful compliance with contractual obligations ".

The decision is linked to numerous reports from catering companies affiliated with Qui! Group, and from January 2018 the administrations of the users of the group Qui!, Have reported dysfunctions due to lack of user-friendliness

Many catering companies in the network have agreed with the group, says Consip in a note. the non-payment by the same company of invoices relating to meal vouchers spent by public officials. As a result of the growing number of reports, the Treasury Branch has carried out systematic inspections by an independent organization in the affiliated stores and on the fulfillment of the commitments made at the time of the offer regarding the maximum percentage of commission and conditions. payment to merchants and the reimbursement of tickets.

Even in Liguria, there have been numerous reports of problems with Who! Ticket, as confirmed by Confesercenti: last Based in Genoa, he had major problems in the regular establishment of traders who accepted the tickets and many began to refuse them, and in January of this year, Consip J & # 39 called the company here! "By fully respecting the contractual obligations", and although it was badured that the service was restored at the end of February, it was not the case

" Beyond the contingency plight, for years we report that the food stamp sector is no longer a development opportunity for the public sector, but has become a problem to deal with. For this reason – concludes Barbieri – we ask that from the policy, given the situation created, there is the awareness of the need for a complete overhaul of the system, also because it is now uneconomic for the activities of working with the discount percentages that we see today in the market. "

" Some companies are literally the hostages of the box office, because at lunch, workers and employees of large companies or public bodies, for example the region, move where they accept tickets – Matteo added Zedda, vice -President Fiepet Genova – For whom not accepting it means reducing the work even by 60-80%. That's why the issuing companies feel strong in imposing unacceptable rates. "
