Powers to replace and refund sums for those who do not meet the objectives. But also inspections, fight against fraud, more coordination and commissioners to guarantee the grounding of the works. It is the change of pace with which the government intends accelerate the works of the Pnrr. This is provided for in the new and long-awaited decree on the plan, launched by the Council of Ministers, with which the executive intends to “initiate a phase of global responsibility.” underlines Minister Raffaele Fitto, for the subjects called to participate in the spending of the Pnrr.
The provision, which reaches the Council of Ministers after a series of postponements, is the result of “very complex and detailed work, both from the point of view of the financial dimension and the rules that will contribute to accelerating spending and a simplification “, he explains at a press conference by Fitto, who reassures about the works resulting from the Plan (the decree “finances all of them”) and thanks the owner of the Mef Giancarlo Giorgetti for the “intense” work of recent weeks.
Remembering that ahead is the verification of the fifth section and the “two objectives for 2024”, which are the sixth and seventh section. The additional investments planned by the new post-revision Pnrr, equivalent to approximately 25 billion, are covered by 15 billion with additional contributions allocated to RepowerEU (approximately 2.76 billion), additional subsidies arising from the GDP revaluation ( 140 million dollars), definancing of measures of the former Pnrr (approximately 7 billion), savings in measures of the former Pnrr (approximately 2.98 billion), resources derived from the inclusion in the Plan of projects already financed under the current legislation (2 billion); More than 9 billion derive from the remodulations of the spending authorizations specifically indicated in the decree.
From the point of view of the rules, which range from governance to administrative simplification, from sport to justice, from digitalization to infrastructure, the decree provides a true repression against the executing entities of the Plan. Here arises the possibility of activating replacement powers in the event that there is a mismatch between the schedules and the data communicated to the Regis computer system. Furthermore, if the EU Commission verifies “the failure or incomplete achievement of the objectives”, the obligation to return the amounts received is activated.
A series of commissioners also arrive: there will be some for university accommodation, at the proposal of Minister Anna Maria Bernini, to reach the Pnrr’s goal of 60,000 places for students between now and June 2026.; another will be responsible for recovering more quickly assets confiscated from mafias; Finally a commissioner will have the task of fighting against the exploitation of workers in agriculture.. The decree, which in the latest draft has 49 articles, also incorporates measures for the prevention and fight against irregular work and is configured as a kind of ‘omnibus’with a series of micro-rules ranging from the bonus for those who hire caregivers for non-self-sufficient people over eighty years of age, to the arrival of the digital wallet to the exclusion of government bonuses from the ISEE calculation for the beneficiaries of inclusion. assignment (rule that in the version would have definitely been eliminated). With the decree also comes a boost to digital health, including artificial intelligence and the long-awaited Transition Plan 5.0, which allocates $6.3 billion for tax credits to companies. It will also be easier to recruit and stabilize judicial personnel. Measures that the social partners welcome with caution. “Now there are no excuses,” comments the president of Confindustria Carlo Bonomi, who highlights the delays in Transition 5.0: “we have lost a year.” The concerned CGIL denounces the “betrayal” of the commitment to employment for young people and women. For Uil it is “a sleight of hand to find money for unfunded projects.”
Calderone: let’s implement the national plan to combat undeclared work, 800 labor inspectors arrive
“We implement the national plan to combat undeclared work 2023-2025, with a three C approach: controls, inspection and compliance.” This was highlighted by the Minister of Labor and Social Policies, Marina Calderone, in a press conference at the end of the Council of Ministers, which gave the green light to the regulations on safety at work contained in the Pnrr decree, “a complex decree due in the measure of standards.” Regarding controls, Calderone highlights that “we deploy additional resources strengthen the activity of the National Labor Inspection”, which will determine a total of almost 800 more inspectors and this “operation will allow doubling the number of INL technical inspectors on staff and therefore inspections.”
“After 16 years, we are introducing the points-based driving licence, which we will develop with the support of social partners and construction sector organisations.with the aim of expanding this path and introducing other activities”. The Minister of Labor and Social Policies emphasizes that “specific attention” is paid to construction works.
“To combat the illicit supply of labor we reintroduce criminal sanctions” in the case of “improper use of the service contract or secondment” of personnel. This was confirmed by the Minister of Labor and Social Policies, Marina Calderone. The crime was decriminalized in 2016.
“We are also introducing a way to accompany the regularizations: those who spontaneously comply with their obligations will have the right to a reduction in civil penalties, but never in debts for premiums and contributions, which must be paid in full.”
Information from Piantedosi: “In Pisa the protesters rejected mediation”
For the PIsa event “The police station had not been notified, who, upon finding out, tried several times to contact the organizers to obtain information about the type of initiative that would be carried out and the related route but to no avail.
