Observations from President Sergio
Mattarella that accompanied his recent enactment of a
competition law "will not go unheeded", Premier Giorgia Meloni
said on Thursday.
"I will make my evaluations together with the other majority
parties and with the ministers," said Meloni in reply to a
question during her end-of-year press conference.
On Tuesday Mattarella promulgated the law on competition but
accompanied it with demurrals asking the government to act to
bring norms on street traders, whose contracts are almost
automatically renewed every 12 years, into line with EU rules
advocating greater competition for licenses.
The head of State said that "further initiatives by the
Government and Parliament are indispensable in the near future".
Mattarella likened his action to what he had done with a law on
beach concessions last year, when the government amended the
measure after his criticism of the initial decree.
The competition law is aimed at boosting competition in the
Italian economy through a variety of measures.
