  • Visit to Italy: the Gasparri Law Observations and Recommendations
    Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe The Representative on Freedom of the Media Miklós Haraszti 7 June 2005 Visit to Italy: The Gasparri Law Observations and Recommendations The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, Miklós Haraszti, accompanied by Advisers Alexander Ivanko and Roland Bless, visited Rome, Italy, from 30 March to 1 April 2004. This was the Representative’s first visit to this participating State. The trip was made at the invitation of, and was organized by, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy. The purpose of the trip was to assess the current situation in the television broadcasting sector, one year after the adoption in 2004 of the Gasparri Law1, Italy’s first comprehensive regulation of all broadcast media, and of the Frattini Law2, on the conflicts between public duty and private interests of public officials. The Gasparri Law was enacted after repeated calls by Italy’s Constitutional Court, as well as by European political bodies, for an overhaul of the highly concentrated television system in Italy. The Representative appreciates the co-operative approach of the Italian authorities and their willingness to discuss all issues raised by him openly. Miklós Haraszti met with government officials, parliamentarians, scholars, and media lawyers. Among those he had talks with were, in order of the meetings: - Minister of Communications Maurizio Gasparri and his Deputy Giancarlo Innocenzi; - Members of the Italian Delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, Senator Luigi Compagna and Member of the Chamber of Deputies, Mister Fabio Ciani; - President of the Justice Commission of the Senate, Senator Antonino Caruso; - Professor Mauro Masi, Secretary-General of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (Prime-Minister’s Office); - Senior officials from the Foreign Ministry.

  • Italy's Business Leaders Are Clamouring for Constitutional Reform
    11/16/2016 Italy’s business leaders are clamouring for constitutional reform | The Economist Seize the day All latest updates Italy’s business leaders are clamouring for constitutional reform But a “yes” vote in the referendum on December 4th will not save corporate Italy Nov 15th 2016 | Europe “THE biggest risk in Europe is the Italian referendum”, said Gianfelice Rocca, head of Assolombarda, Milan’s chamber of commerce, this summer. For corporate Italy, much is at stake in the vote on constitutional reform, which will be held on December 4th. Victory for Matteo Renzi, the business­friendly prime minister, could mean a big fillip for firms of all sizes, whereas a loss would be “a shock in the system” said Mr Rocca. The national employers’ federation, Confindustria, agrees with him. If those campaigning for a “yes” vote are to be believed, firmer government, easier conditions for investors and generally brighter economic prospects would follow. The two main issues to be decided are reform of the Senate’s powers—whether to let the lower chamber pass future laws, even when opposed by the Senate—and whether decision­making powers should be brought back from regional governments to the centre. Francesco Starace, the chief executive of Enel, a giant European electricity company that is one of Italy’s more successful firms, sets out a strong case that the proposed changes would bring important benefits to companies, especially if politicians took it as a signal to push for more reforms that would deregulate the economy and encourage competition. Last year labour laws were eased slightly, and a change this July made it easier and cheaper for startups to register with the authorities.
