(Finance) – In the decree law on the implementation of the PNRR “there is no centralization or dismantling, as I have heard. We have implemented some indications of the Court of Auditors. Have we dismantled the PNRR mission units in the ministries? No, it’s the opposite. Let’s try to stabilize the staff”. This was stated by the minister for European affairs, cohesion policies and the Pnrr, Raffaele Fittoin the government’s reply in the Senate Hall, at the end of the general discussion on the decree on governance and implementation of the Plan.
Fitto specified that the decree has received the favorable opinion of the Unified Conference, which brings together Regions, Municipalities and Provinces. “We have implemented various issues posed by the autonomies in terms of simplification and accelerations and – he underlined – the text has been improved”.
“We have to give ourselves the ability to use all resources and there is no discussion about that. But to use them effectively and efficiently”, explained Fitto during his speech in the Senate Hall. “There is an issue of spending quality” he added “because when we get into debt we weigh on the next generations and we have to imagine that this is for useful interventions for the country”.
“We will have several opportunities for discussion in Parliament. Indeed, if there had previously been more discussion in Parliament we would not be here talking about various problems, because we would have addressed them earlier”, he said at the end of the general discussion on the decree on the implementation of the Floor. Fitto added that “the approach is not to give rise to controversy or confrontation” but that of a constructive discussion on the merits.
Meanwhile, the examination of the Pnrr decree will be held tomorrow morning from 10 in the Senate after the conclusion of the general discussion and the intervention of the minister for EU policies and the implementation of the Pnrr, Raffaele Fitto. Work on the provision, on which no trust has been placed, will resume with the votes on the 289 amendments and will conclude with the final vote. The decree, which expires on April 25, will then pass to the Chamber in second reading.
