This was announced in a note by the association of Italian joint-stock companies, whose Board of Directors “listened yesterday to the intervention of the Minister for Constitutional Reforms and Relations with Parliament, Mary Helen Woods, who illustrated the salient aspects of the institutional reforms approved by the Parliament, on which the voters will decide in the next referendum. An in-depth debate followed during which many participants underlined the positive effects for the economy of the good functioning of decision-making, government and parliamentary mechanisms”.
Yesterday's meeting also discussed “the result of the British referendum on Brexit, noting that the economic impact has been, at least for now, less negative than many analysts expected. The longer-term effects – continues Asspnime's note – will depend on the new relations that will be established with the EU internal market, also in view of the restrictions that the United Kingdom will want to introduce on the free movement of people. The importance of defining an Italian and EU position that takes into account the interests of the member countries was underlined. The hope was expressed that the uncertainty regarding the date of the notification of the intention to leave by the United Kingdom will be resolved as soon as possible ".
The Association's Council “also discussed the problems raised by the entry into force of the European regulation on market abuse which is producing enormous interpretative difficulties for listed companies”, concludes the note.
