Between bills and decrees more than fifty legislative measures brought to Parliament in six months by the Monti government, for an average of two legislative texts produced per week. These, according to the official data collected by the Senate, are the numbers for the first half of the technical executive chaired by Mario Monti. The figures speak for themselves: since 16 November 2011 (the day the new executive was nominated by the President of the Republic) 39 government-initiated bills have arrived in Parliament (12 approved and 27 under parliamentary examination), 6 of such as in 2011 and 33 in 2012.
Se for 2011 we can talk about an average of three bills per month, less than one a week, for the current year we can instead record an acceleration of the work of the executive with an increase in the number of witnesses, increased by almost double compared to the first two months of activity. In four and a half months, 33 bills presented, for an average of 8 measures every 30 days, almost two a week. Fast-paced work dictated by the crisis, and which is demonstrated by the 14 government-initiated bills - out of a total of 39 - in which the executive has placed its trust.
The Monti government then brought 13 decrees to the House and Senate (5 in 2011, 8 in 2012), all approved and converted into law. An element, the latter, which underlines the effectiveness of the work carried out so far. Silvio Berlusconi's team, in fact, during the almost four years in office has seen 9 decree laws lapsed and 2 rejected. Added to the already approved decrees is a decree-law assigned but with a process not yet started (it is the decree-law containing "Urgent provisions for the rationalization of public spending", of 7 May, assigned to the Constitutional Affairs and Budget commission of the Senate at the meeting on 9 May).
Note that trust was placed on half of the dl presented by Monti (they are 7 out of the 13 accepted by Parliament). Speed is therefore the hallmark of this Monti government, which in its first six months almost halved the time needed to approve government bills in Parliament: if in 2011 it took, on average, 55 days in the Chamber and 63 days in the Senate , so far in this first part of 2012 the approval of the provisions arrived from Palazzo Chigi took 32 days in the Chamber and 37 in the Senate.
