"In the week of confrontation at Villa Pamphili with the social partners, the call to reduce bureaucracy and make the country run was unanimous. We are always convinced of this priority and we have implemented it with a decree that simplifies, speeds up, digitizes, unlock once and for all construction sites and contracts " . At the press conference at Palazzo Chigi, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte says this, convinced that the measure "is the launching pad that Italy needs right now".

"Yesterday in the Council of Ministers we approved the list of 130 strategic works fast Italy specifically identified by MIT, to these we add those for Cortina and those for other ministries, health, prisons, police", added the Prime Minister.
"The works will no longer freeze" because "the administrative procedures" will be "with a short sentence" and "the contracting stations" will proceed "even in the presence of litigation. Today everything freezes, it won't happen again," said Conte. Enough, therefore, with the "infinite expectations" for the PA to "explain once only the reasons that justify the non-acceptance" of the requests and "those who do not respond in time will no longer be able to intervene".
"We offer a fast road, a light relationship between your people and the state at a click." He added -we raise the speed limit, Italy has to run but we also raise speed cameras: we don't want to offer space for appetites criminals who distort competition and make undue profits . "
Among the strategic works, the Prime Minister mentioned "Salerno-Reggio Calabria, Palermo-Catania-Messina, Pescara-Rome, Pescara-Bari, Venice-Trieste, Gronda, Ionica, the expansion of Salaria, the Pontina ".
"We give regulatory powers to all contracting stations - explained Conte -: we do not necessarily need a commissioner to proceed quickly but we foresee that in complex cases it is possible to appoint commissioners in the wake of Expo and the Genoa Bridge". The intention of the government is to "bring order".
Then stop the fears for the signature . "Enough fear: it is better to unlock - the Prime Minister remarked -. A small revolution is coming for public officials. With the new regulations there will be more risks for the official who keeps the works steady, not for the one who unlocks them: we have arrived to a perverse situation whereby those who do not sign and who assume responsibility risk a risk of exposing themselves to excessive damage. We must stop the fear of signing ".
"Until July 31, 2021 liability for tax damage will be limited to willful misconduct only. Liability for fault, for omissions and therefore inertia, delays will remain. It is an incentive to operate. We strike those who do not."
