The Decree was assigned to the Senate Budget Committee for the start of parliamentary examination.

In particular, the Decree is divided into three Chapters, containing measures: i) for the refinancing of expenditure authorisations in the areas of infrastructure and civil protection, as well as social assistance and care; (ii) in favour of enterprises and economic activities; iii) in the field of territorial authorities.

Among the measures of the Decree are, on the whole, positive and in the direction desired by Confindustria those involving:

• the postponement of the so-called Sugar tax;
• interventions in support of staff house in the tourist accommodation sector;
• changes in theme of institutional investment in start-ups;
• interventions for the infrastructure, transport and logistics sector;
• VAT reduction for trade in works of art;
• interventions to support internationalisationand enterprises, with particular reference to the extension of access to the Revolving Fund managed by Simest for investment projects in India.

These interventions are appreciable but still appear partial and not linked to a structured vision of industrial policy, which is necessary to guarantee real and concrete support for companies and private investment.
