Simplifications decree, dark in the Senate: what goes and what remains

After the findings of the Quirinale, the Presidency of the Senate declares 62 amendments to the measure inadmissible, making only 23 survive - Among the removed rules, those on car liability, Web Tax and tenders for dealers - The most difficult compromises remain (drills and Ncc) and the correction of the gaffe on non-profit organizations

Simplifications decree, dark in the Senate: what goes and what remains

“The way it is, it doesn't work”. After the warning from the Quirinale on the Simplifications decree – stuffed with heterogeneous measures and therefore at risk of being unconstitutional – the measure was subjected to a slimming cure in Parliament.

During Senate committee consideration, the text had turned into a parliamentarian-style monster omnibus: 80 articles plus 61 pages of amendments. Basically, a sort of Milleproroghe at the beginning of the year in which the majority had included everything that was left out of the manoeuvre.

The Presidency of the Senate took care of dropping the ax, which he declared 62 amendments inadmissible. Only 23 survive, a quarter of those presented. The decree is being voted on in the hall at Palazzo Madama.

WHAT WAS CANCELED

Skip the new rules onRc Auto xylella (the obligation to cut down infected olive trees and imprisonment for transgressors).

The one-year suspension of taxes for les is also gone victims of the collapse of the Morandi bridge, the two million euros allocated for the new ones Police uniforms and the looser meshes for medical competitions.

Finally rejected the correctives on tenders for dealers (there was a one-year postponement for the obligation to tender 60% of the works over 150 thousand euros, notwithstanding the procurement code) and some additional exemptions for the Web Tax.

WHAT REMAINS

However, they do not touch drill rules, the result of a difficult agreement between Lega and Movimento 5 Stelle. Existing concessions are saved, but the cost of royalties increases by 25 times. There is also an 18-month moratorium on new offshore research plans, which however can be extended to 24 months if a national plan is not adopted.

The measure in favor of the citizens also remains in the decree Ncc, rentals with drivers, who will be able to operate within the province without returning to the remittance (which will probably make their fortune, as many obtain their license in small towns close to large capital cities).

Then survive the cancellation of the doubling of theIres for non-profit entities – which therefore remains at 12%, despite the maneuver envisaging an increase to 24% – and the regionalization of hydroelectric concessions (the counterpart requested by Matteo Salvini to give the green light to the squeeze on the exploration of hydrocarbons and the increase in royalties on concessions).
