The meeting of the Council of Ministers is underway at Palazzo Chigi.
Among the measures on the agenda, there are the decree law for the drought emergency, the one to strengthen the administrative capacities of the Public Administration, and the draft law on competition, which had already passed for an initial examination in the Council of Ministers .
The establishment of an inter-ministerial control room, chaired by the prime minister or the minister of infrastructure, and the appointment of an "extraordinary national commissioner" for water scarcity.
This is what the draft of the Decree law on the water crisis foresees, which will be brought to the Council of Ministers this afternoon.
The Commissioner carries out the urgent interventions he is entrusted with by the Control Room, monitors the situation throughout the national territory and the implementation of the necessary works, and can intervene with substitutive powers in the event of non-compliance, subject to a resolution by the CDM.
