The government will insert the anti-corruption law in the competition bill in the Senate chamber. This was announced to Reuters by the speaker of the Democratic Party, Salvatore Tomaselli, at the end of a meeting in the Senate between the government majority and the Minister of Development, Carlo Calenda.
The text remains the one "that came out of the commission with some drafting modifications and the rule on raids should be a government amendment to the text in the classroom", said the speaker.
A further passage to the commission will not be necessary and the Council of Ministers has already authorized the trust, but the approval of the provision before the assembly of Palazzo Madama, expected for this week, has been postponed until next.
Calenda had said that the threshold beyond which the disclosure obligations would be triggered would be set at 5% (in France there is a similar law but the limit is 10%).
The government conceived the anti-robbery rule after Vivendi collected almost 29% of Mediaset. In any case, the new rule will not be retroactive.
