(Tiper Stock Exchange) – The Council of Ministers approved this evening the Competition Bill, which lands for the third time in Palazzo Chigi after the previous readings of 28 March and 6 April. It was like that reached the difficult compromise within the majority on the location of vendors.
One of the novelties of the Annual Law on Competition concerns, in fact, the granting of concessions for itinerant trade in public areas, providing for the mechanism of public racebut safeguarding the legitimate expectations of the current concessionaireswho will be able to enjoy an exceptional renewal of the current concessions for 12 years.
“Annual law on competition: done! At the service of citizens and businesses”, commented the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy on Twitter Adolfo Urso.
For Palazzo Chigi it is “one virtuous practice, hitherto without evidence in recent Italian legislative history”, since the competition law had never been approved for two consecutive years and in the last 15 years, from 2009 to today, it had only been approved twice in 2017 and 2022.
“The bill is inserted fully within the framework of the measures and interventions for the implementation of the PNRR under two aspects: firstly, the annual approval of a law on competition is part of the commitments undertaken within the same PNRR; secondly, the bill contains a number of rules aimed at ensuring the achievement of certain milestones established within the framework of the Plan”, underlines the CdM.
Among the various measures contained in the Competition Bill there are also the development of the national electricity grid and a standard it promotes the use of “smart meters” (smart meters), in order to promote energy savings and contain the price of electricity.
