Just was called by the Italian Embassy in Germany which I wrote an email to regarding the Tax and that is unfair and contra productive for Italy and Italys revenue since people will stay away and explained the possibilities one could encounter to delay flight and thus become liable to the tax.
The Gentleman was very understanding and assured me that the Ambassador will write a letter to the appropriate Ministry in Roma asking to think the thing over, adding the possibility of a sudden strike to the possible reasons of a delay.....
I have no idea if anything will happen, but I can only encourage all concerned to do the same. Doesn´t take much time and is more or less for free...
