“In the coming days, the Government will begin to study technical solutions to speed up the liquidation of commercial debts accumulated by the public administration towards private suppliers”. This was stated by the Prime Minister, Enrico Letta, undertaking to guarantee the correct implementation of decree 35, which defined the terms for repaying companies the first 40 billion between 2013 and 2014.
"Already in the next few days we will proceed to technically evaluate the most appropriate operating methods to accelerate and complete the payment of past debts and verify, also with the European authorities, the spaces available in compliance with the general public finance objectives", he continued.
The Pdl asks to concentrate the repayment of the first 2013 billion in 40. The Ministry of the Economy wants to negotiate an agreement with the banks to increase the ceiling of 20 billion expected this year. Credit institutes should buy pending invoices "with recourse" from companies, avoiding consequences on balance sheet balances.
