The NRA explains how clever it is to perform a technical inspection of a car at an auto repair service rather than a CSDD in Latvia

The Competition Council presented a damaging proposal: to transfer control of the technical condition of vehicles to garages. Currently, the technical inspection system overseen by the CSDD is representative and user-friendly. The Competition Council, which fights for the auto trade, intends to ruin it

What are the consequences of the Council of Conflict's unnecessary concern over the truth in the world, at the Airport Riga . When the council announced that the taxi business should not be reduced, the barrier to the so-called kilometer of gold has been removed. Now everyone can be the taxi driver, service prices soar, pbadengers are driven with old luck, short trips are simply rejected and all these chaos are monitored by bandits.

The free market for this service will mean higher prices, lower quality and inevitable corruption.

The CSDD has been fighting for many years for these fires and is now trying to break the siege. is rare and fails in most cases. In its direct text, the Conseil de la concurrence proposes to legalize this corruption through the automotive service centers. The same will repair and the same technical inspection stickers will do. Will sell In the press release it is explained:

"In order to avoid unjustified state interference in the market for technical inspection, to prevent competition and harm to consumers, the Council competition encourages the opening of this market to free competition.As an optimal system for the market, the institution offers the state to maintain the function of accreditation and monitoring while providing services to the private sector – services and repair shops – capable of identifying and eliminating defects and performing technical checks. "

Auto Association Against

From where the legs grow to this absurd idea, it is not really clear.The Council refers to 30% of the service surveyed, but does not mention how many respondents – three or thirty However, it should be noted that the Auto Associa tion, which includes new car dealers and service providers, does not need to access this service on behalf of its members. As Independent explains Ingus Rūtņš, member of the Board of Directors of the Public Organization,

there have been such cooking conversations, but in Latvia there is no has no certified service capable of providing such a service. In addition, the CSDD service is qualitative and, in the case of a price that could fall into hypothetical conditions of intense competition, the profit would be symbolic. The euro, maybe two, because the big amount that leaves the owner of the machine at the box office, these are taxes and fees, not the cost of an inspection service technical. Rutinch also believes that the services needed to enter this market should invest heavily in equipment, which would inevitably increase the cost of the service.

The concept of non-payment of alimony

the same services. This can be the initiative on the platform for community initiatives My voice. 2016. On April 1, Ivo Stieģelis made no return: "Inspection of a vehicle in a certified garage". They did not pay their wife for her well-being and are therefore included in the list of debtors of the Maintenance Guarantee Fund in 2015.

In three years, only 1492 people supported the idea of Stiegele, that is why the Competition Council has no business that requires a technical inspection to operate on a free market. On the contrary, customer satisfaction rates of the CSDD are very high and the technical evaluation is considered one of the best services provided by the state. Fast, high quality, available. In 2017, it was revealed that 98% of CSDD clients are satisfied with the service they receive. This is an extremely high figure, which is ignored by the Competition Council. In addition, it does this by manipulating data. For example, in claims regarding the cost of a service in Latvia and in comparison with other European countries, Portugal was charged twice VAT, Finland does not include a check of waste gas, which is a separate element. The fact that our technical inspection should be performed once a year, but everywhere else in the second place is not properly evaluated. In addition, the technical inspection in automotive repair shops is not a common practice throughout Europe, but a historical exception in the Netherlands The Ministry of Transport and the CSDD categorically reject a polite response to the Conseil de la concurrence. . A technical inspection is a public safety issue, which can not be experienced in the same way as a pick up at the airport. Jānis Liepiņš, head of the Vehicle Inspection and Vehicle Certification, quips: a hairdressing salon can be just as inspected, but the tools used are: "It's all about it. a lobbying service. CSDD open, rough and degrading. "
