(ANSA) - ROME, MARCH 30 - "We have to manipulate the procedures to authorize the works. I hope that the Recovery is an opportunity to put them in a long-lasting way, and not specifically only for the Pnrr (National plan of recovery and resilience, ed) . Always working on emergency does not help. It would be ideal to take advantage of this situation to make lasting changes ".
This was stated by the Minister of Ecological Transition, Roberto Cingolani, speaking at the presentation of Legambiente's proposals for the Recovery Plan.
"If I look at the last few years, we have managed to install 10% of what was planned - continued the minister -.
We all agree that this is pathological, but in the case of the recovery plan it is also suicidal.
Recovery has a specific duration, and the worst defeat would be to have to return from Europe and say 'sorry we were not able to invest what we agreed' ".
The simplifications for Cingolani must concern" the whole chain of permit, that chain of procedures for authorize a plant.
It's a funnel, a serious problem.
If the chain of permits slows down too much, we also lose the entrepreneurs, who at that point go to invest elsewhere, as has happened.
For large purchases, then there is a problem with the procurement code ".
The minister explained that on major works "it is necessary to strengthen the consultation" with the inhabitants of the territories, but it is necessary "to make sure that the agreements are clear, the times are defined, that then there is no usual chain for which this or that Court is recurring administrative. It takes an agreement among all ".
For Cingolani, popular consultations must be associated with "an appropriate work of dissemination. Some things need to be explained better, to make it clear before a consultation that there is a compromise between installing something and decarbonising".
