(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 16 - The bill on defence, security and
public rescue that the government is set to examine during a
cabinet meeting later on Thursday "significantly improves the
quality of work of those who are engaged in protecting the
security of citizens on a daily basis", Interior Minister Matteo
Piantedosi has said.
"The government has prepared an important package of
regulations, concrete measures that are all oriented towards and
aimed at enhancing the role of those working in the security,
defence and public rescue sectors," said Piantedosi.
In addition, the minister said collective bargaining is to
resume in relation to contract renewal for police and defence
managerial staff.
The bill also "takes further steps forward in the implementation
of supplementary pensions", allocates funds "to give concrete
recognition to the 'specificity' of the sector" and provides for
"corrections" to the reorganisation of the fire brigade in order
to "enhance its functions and tasks in order to increase its
operational capacity", continued Piantedosi. (ANSA).
