(Finance) – Exercise of the Golden power on Fastweb and Wind 3 for 5G, unblocking of wind farms, reform of the civil trial and of the Office for the trial, and recruitment in the school. These are the main topics covered by the resolutions of the Council of Ministers today.
Golden power – The Council of Ministers, on the proposal of the Minister of Economic Development Giancarlo Giorgetti, approved the exercise of special powers, in the form of prescriptions, pursuant to article 1-bis of decree-law no. 21 of 2012, in relation to the transaction, notified by the company Fastweb, concerning the 2022-2023 Annual Plan for the purchase of goods and services relating to the design, implementation, maintenance and management of broadband electronic communication services with 5G. The Cdm also resolved – a note from Palazzo Chigi reads – the exercise of special powers, in the form of prescriptions, pursuant to article 1bis of decree-law no. 21 of 2012, in relation to the transaction, notified by the company Wind Tre, concerning the 2022-2023 Annual Plan for the purchase of goods and services relating to the design, implementation, maintenance and management of broadband electronic communication services with 5G technology.
School recruitment – On the proposal of the Minister of Public Administration Renato Brunetta, the Minister of Economy and Finance Daniele Franco and the Minister of Education Patrizio Bianchi, the Board approved the authorization for the school year 2022/2023, to hire, on time indeterminate, on the posts actually vacant and available, a number equal to 422 units of Catholic religion teachers, 60 units of educational staff, 10,116 units of ATA staff, 94,130 units of teaching staff and 361 units of school managers.
Renewable energies – The Cdm approved the approval of the positive environmental compatibility judgment for eleven projects for electricity production plants powered by renewable sources (wind energy), for a total power of approximately 452 MW. In accordance with article 7 of the decree-law of 17 May 2022, n. 50, the resolutions adopted replace the environmental impact assessment provision (EIA) for all purposes. In detail, there are eight projects to be implemented in the Puglia region and three in the Basilicata region.
Reform of the civil trial and the trial office – The Cdm, on the proposal of the Minister of Justice Marta Cartabia, approved, in preliminary examination, two legislative decrees implementing the delegated law for the reform of the civil trial and the Office for the trial, approved by Parliament on 26 November 2021. The interventions – explains the note – “are part of the commitments for the implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR)” and “aim to provide faster answers to the daily needs of citizens in compliance with the guarantees”. Among the news on the front of the civil trial, the enhancement of forms of complementary justice: mediation is also enhanced with tax incentives; assisted negotiation through lawyers is extended, among other things, to labor disputes and arbitration is strengthened. For a simplification of the civil proceedings, the case must reach the first hearing already defined in the questions, exceptions and evidence; we proceed with a simplification of the decision-making phase and, among other things, with a stabilization of the telematic innovations introduced during the COVID-19 emergency. Again in relation to the objective of simplification, there are numerous interventions relating to the structure of the first instance judgment, with an increasing redetermination of the competence of the justice of the peace and with a reduction in the cases in which the court operates in collegial composition. The institute of the preliminary reference to the Supreme Court is introduced, consisting in the possibility for the trial judge, when he has to decide a question of new law, difficult to interpret and susceptible of reiteration, on which he has previously provoked the contradictory between the parties, to submit the question directly to the Court of Cassation for the resolution of the question posed. The reform also introduces extremely significant innovations in the area of family procedural law. In implementation of the principles assigned by the delegating legislator, a unitary procedure is envisaged for persons, minors and families (with some specific exceptions), introducing more procedural safeguards to defend minors and women victims of violence; an immediate coordination is introduced between civil and criminal judicial authorities and with the police. Finally, the Tribunal for persons, minors and families is introduced, so as to avoid the multiplication of disputes and introduce uniform, organic and coherent rules, also for juvenile judgment, for a more solid guarantee of the rights of the parties. The decree provides for a complete and systematic regulation of the Office for the trial, the institution that supports both criminal and civil judicial offices; it is extended to the Court of Cassation and to the General Prosecutor’s Office at the Court of Cassation as well as to the merit offices of the criminal sector. The extension and strengthening of the Trial Office increases the effectiveness of the work of the judicial offices and of the administration as a whole and contributes to making procedural reforms effective, through organizational measures suitable for reducing the burden and the backlog judicial, in line with the objectives of the PNRR.
Implementation of European provisions – The Council of Ministers, on the proposal of President Mario Draghi and the competent Ministers, approved ten legislative decrees (one in preliminary examination, nine in definitive examination) for the implementation of European provisions.
