Enel-Terna, the sparks in the hands of the Government

From Parliament, the clash over Enel and Terna moves to the Government. After the Chamber's Industry Committee examined the Community directive which liberalizes the production and sale of gas and electricity (and which enlivened the battle between Terna and Enel), the word now passes to the Executive. The Government, perhaps already this week, will have to issue the relative legislative decree and will not be able to ignore the conclusions of the commission. A particularly significant topic, which involves companies such as Eni, Snam, Terna. It will also be interesting to understand the orientation of the Energy Authority. Meanwhile in Montecitorio the Industry commission, once the game on gas and energy is closed - at least for now - will be engaged in examining the so-called development decree, which for companies contains numerous rules: from incentives for hiring to tax credits for research, from the unification of controls to the extension of the simplified accounting regime, from the new rules for tenders to the surface right for sandy shores.
“Obviously we have many other issues under discussion – points out the president of the Chamber's Industry commission, the Northern League member Manuela Dal Lago -. In particular, the incentive for methane for cars is a topic that could go to the courtroom or even obtain the legislative seat in the commission. Then there are issues which, however, are not exactly close to the finish line. These include the economic promotion of Italy abroad which also contemplates the reform of the ICE, the delay in payments between the public administration and the private sector, and between the private sector and the private sector, the incentive for electric cars”.
On the issue of the Institute for Foreign Trade, the commission has held numerous hearings and now we should come to a summary and a proposal for a revision of the ICE "that involves operators more - explains the rapporteur Alberto Torazzi, of the Lega - and that orients the system more towards small and medium-sized enterprises, possibly intervening on the statute"
As for methane for cars, simplifications are envisaged for distribution and for plants and incentives for research for the purpose of improving vehicles. “No conflict with LPG”, points out the speaker.
In the Finance Committee there are topics that have now been addressed and "closed", which could be examined in the legislative seat. "This is the case - explains the president, Gianfranco Conte - of the establishment of a fraud prevention system in the motor liability insurance sector," for which we are awaiting the Government's opinion in order to be able to go to the legislative stage. The same situation also for the so-called 'women's quotas' in the administrative bodies of listed companies, a provision already approved in the commission but then modified by the Senate: the Montecitorio commission awaits the Government's opinion before going into legislation.
VAT and financial instruments are other topics that are always under the attention of the commission. A comprehensive review of VAT is the content of the green book developed by the European Commission with the aim of making the system simpler and more effective. By the end of the month, the Deputies' Finance commission will have to give its contribution and express an opinion, while by July it should conclude the investigation into the markets and financial instruments.
Surely the decree for development will hold the ground, which will also involve the activity of the Budget Commission.
