Beaches, majority agreement: one more year for competitions

ROME. Towards a one-year extension of the tendering of beach concessions. In fact, according to what has been learned, Forza Italia’s amendment on the matter should be approved, which would integrate that of the rapporteurs on mapping and reorganization. The majority has in fact decided to support him. «At the end of a listening process with the most representative associations of the seaside sector, FdI took note of the majority request to proceed, within the Milleproroghe decree, with a one-year extension of the concessions with respect to the terms established by the Competition decree and therefore it will support the majority amendments that go in this direction» says Gianluca Caramanna, deputy and tourism manager of Fratelli d’Italia.

Concern from the Pd. «The Milleproroghe decree could have been an opportunity, given the situation in the country, to resolve some emergencies. The Democratic Party, among other things, wanted interventions on fragile work and on the women’s option. The useful extension for Italy would have been the one concerning excise duties on fuel. Government and majority have said no and in addition today, with a little game that smacks of fraud, they are extending, with an amendment, the deadlines for the responses we owe to Europe for beach concessions, with the only certain result of putting the Italy at risk of further infringements. Without actually addressing the issue. Truly a beautiful masterpiece» says the leader of the Pd group in the Budget Committee Daniele Manca.

The same provision should give the green light to the possibility for general practitioners and paediatricians of free choice, both affiliated with the NHS, to retire at 72 and not at 70. However, the possibility of postponing retirement has not passed for all doctors foreseen in other proposed amendments
