BRIEF EXTRACT FROM THE INTERVIEW OF THE SUN 24 ORE WITH THE EU MINISTER OF AFFAIRS, ENZO AMENDOLA (PD), ON CONTE AND RECOVERY:

Minister Amendola, both you and President Conte have said that the mission structure was the EU asking for it. What tasks should he have?

These days I have heard many inaccuracies. The commission asked in its guidelines of 17 September, therefore not only to Italy, that the member states identify a subject who will carry out the role of coordinator of the NRP. A mission unit responsible for implementation in synergy with the ministries involved, ensuring monitoring and reporting in Brussels. The Commission underlines that this technical structure will need to have adequate administrative capacity, authority and human resources. Moreover, a specific task force has also been created at European level which works together with the commissioners to make this path of common investments operational.

Does the EU ask you to have replacement powers to implement the plan?

The EU sends the definitions of the powers of the task forces back to the states. For now there is work among the ministry technicians to outline the contours of a rule that we will send to Parliament. There is no state secret or coup attempt, as I hear. The truth is that the funds must be committed by 2023 and spent by 2026, under penalty of deadweight if the projects are not realized.

Do you agree with the solution presented by President Conte, with the three-person political control room, the six managers responsible for the missions and the large task force of technicians? Are there any alternatives after Renzi's halt?

The proposal will be discussed in the CDM and then in Parliament. Everyone will be able to propose improvement solutions, but aware of the time schedule. As in the past, see Expo or Ponte Morandi , if the objectives and risks are clear, the rules follow accordingly.

Which profiles do the six managers have to answer? Public, private, experts, professors, PA executives?

Managers will have a very complicated task and will have to do it full time for the next six years. The names will be chosen on the basis of technical skills and passion for this common enterprise. They will work closely with interested local ministries and administrative levels.

Renzi says that no one knew anything about the plan presented by Conte, not even the Pd secretary. Is that right?

I do not declare in place of others. I only know that on 9 September the Government sent the guidelines to Parliament, on 13 October the Parliament voted two motions. At the government level, we held 19 operational and bilateral committees weekly with technicians from all ministries. It doesn't seem like an unknown job to me. As soon as the CDM releases the text, this proposal, I underline proposal, will be sent to the Chambers, to Regions and Municipalities, to the social partners to also discuss the changes. The update of the plan will end only in view of the final proposal, when the European Regulation will be finalized. I assume in February.

There are only 9 billion for the health system. And the stall on the use of the Mes does not help.

The standstill of the Mes is due to the absence of a parliamentary majority, there is little to go around it. For investment in health, I am aware of the criticisms, but the Next Generation has a budget of 196 billion and excluding 60% for green and digital bound by the EU, we must also meet the requests to unite Italy with infrastructures, boost education and invest in active labor and employment policies for women. To the 9 billion envisaged for the healthcare line, others dedicated to the efficiency of hospital structures must also be added. I'm sure a balance will be found between ministers as well as in Parliament, but there is no budget overrun in the Next Generation.
