Author : Destinazione Italia      Translation by:

Developed in close coordination with the economic policy priorities set out in the Economic and Financial Planning Document, Destinazione Italia establishes a set of measures to foster inbound investments in a cohesive and structural manner and increase Italian companies' competitiveness. These measures will be introduced to our legal system following a timescale on which the Government's agenda will be based.

In its initial version, Destinazione Italia consists of 50 measures whose goal is to reform a broad range of sectors, from tax to employment and civil justice to research; to enhance and build upon our assets; and to develop investment-focused policies to promote our country at the international level. Every week We the Italians will promote 2 of these measures

5) CONSOLIDATE LABOUR CODE
The government has been charged with drafting an easily understandable and accessible unified labour law and ensuring its English translation. In addition to its complexity and margins of uncertainty, the current labour legislation is excessively encumbered with the multitude of integrations that have taken place over time at various legislative levels. Revision is therefore necessary, as much to allow potential investors to understand and comply with regulations, constraints and sanctions, as to clarify the possibilities offered by the law in terms of, for instance, incentives for the creation of new jobs.

6) PROCEDURE TO HANDLE LABOUR DISPUTES 
The good practices currently applied in some courts need to be extended to the entire country, with a view to reducing timeframes and offering greater certainty to disputing parties. For that reason, not least in light of overseeing the implementation of the amendment introduced by Law 92/2012 to the procedures related to cases concerning the resolution of the employment relationship and conciliation procedures, the adoption of new legislative interventions will be assessed, in addition to incentives for the application of good practices. Naturally, attention will also be given to the logistical aspects of labour dispute justice, equally key to its effectiveness.
