April 27, 2021 "In Italy we are all very busy evaluating individual measures: how many billions here, how many there. Instead, what I expect from the Recovery is that it will become an instrument of transformative reform of the country. Of the economy and the state. Few they look at it in this light, but there is a vision in the introduction to the document by the Prime Minister ". This was stated by the president of Confindustria Carlo Bonomi in an interview with Corriere della Sera. "The challenge now is to transform Italy into a modern, efficient, open, inclusive country. So my question is: what reforms are we going to make to unload those two hundred billion?". On the reform front, he stresses, "two areas, those on public administration and civil justice, have declined enough. The others have not yet.The reforms already well defined are 5 out of 47. But we play everything there and it is the real challenge with Europe, which is telling us: you Italians can put all the billions you want on infrastructures, but why should you be able to carry them out this time if you take an average of 15.7 years to do works over 100 million euros? What makes us think that by 2026 we will carry out, pay and report works for 200 billion? "So we need to start" with simplifications, with the decree of May ".7 years?

"The public-private partnership is missing in the text"
He also points out that "what is missing in the text, if you like, is the public-private partnership. I believe it is in the interest of President Draghi to open a conversation with the private sector on this: it releases it from those who only want the status quo "," we must understand how the government intends to carry out the reforms. Because if companies do not understand and do not share, private investments do not arrive. Italy does not become attractive. GDP grows less , less employed and therefore the debt is less sustainable ".
Bonomi is also critical of the Minister of Labor, Andrea Orlando, who marries the plant of his predecessor Nunzia Catalfo by focusing on employment centers and layoffs: "We are not there. We will get out of this crisis in a completely changed world, but many think that afterwards we start again from where we were. We try to defend work where it was and how it was, but it is no longer. True active labor policies this country has never made any, except for those linked to the income of citizenship that did not work. And how do you think to solve it? By hiring in the public administration. If the goal is to help citizens and businesses in the face of bureaucracy, we are wrong. We can put the billions we want in this area of Recovery, but the world of work remains stuck. Those who mediate between supply and demand,public employment centers? Mimmo Parisi's Anpal? And who does training? We will not get out of it until we accept that even the intervention of the private sector can serve, not by replacing but by supporting the public. It will then be up to the worker to choose who to turn to, once public resources have been made available to train and relocate him ".
"We must start with simplifications with the decree of May"
For Bonomi it is necessary to start "with simplifications, with the decree of May". More than 200 interventions immediately and a technical table, in which, however, companies are not involved. "This is the crux of the document on Recovery. For 25 years we have been told that there were no resources to support the social costs of the reforms - underlines the president of Confindustria -. Now we have them. What is missing in the text, if yes he wants, it is the public-private partnership. I believe it is in President Draghi's interest to open a dialogue with the private sector on this: he frees it from those who only want the status quo ". Then Bonomi asks: "How will the reforms take place? How will private individuals be involved in the implementation of, for example, the cloud or the energy transition? How will the tenders for companies be written? The point of the plan is to put public resources to leverage private investment. So we need to understand how the government intends to implement the reforms. Because if companies do not understand and do not share, private investments do not come. Italy does not become attractive. GDP grows less, less employed and therefore the debt is less sustainable ".GDP grows less, less employed and therefore the debt is less sustainable ".GDP grows less, less employed and therefore the debt is less sustainable ".
"True active labor policies have never been carried out in this country"
"We will emerge from this crisis in a completely changed world, but many think that afterwards we will start again from where we were. We try to defend work where it was and how it was, but it is no longer. True active employment policies this country has never made, except for those related to citizenship income that have not worked. And how do you think to solve it? By hiring in the public administration - underlines the president of Confindustria -. 'goal is to help citizens and businesses in the face of bureaucracy, we are off track. We can put the billions we want in this area of the Recovery, but the world of work remains stuck ".
