Cdm OK for the House Plan. Building tolerances between 2% and 5%.

'The municipality,' continued the League leader, 'collects, the citizen pays and gets his property back. He can sell'. The rules will make it possible to rectify 'small irregularities,' Salvini reiterated, 'it is not an amnesty on the outside. It addresses a 'ten-year problem for internal subdivisions that are different' from those registered. "I hope from Monday, when the decree will be published - to see a lot of people in the municipality paying: in this way the offices will get rid of an estimated 4 million files". Among the regulations indicated by Salvini is the overcoming of double conformity, the mechanism of the silence of consent, and simplification also for the change of use. In short, it is a 'great work of simplification and bureaucratisation', and moreover, 'I hope that a large number of properties returning to the market will have an affection on bricks'.

In the council of ministers, Salvini continued, 'there was a clarification' on the redditometer. 'The entire majority has committed to re-reading it by writing the measure, not the redditometer,' he said. 'It is a sad reminder of the past, we have committed to reviewing it together with the caution that such a delicate issue deserves,' he said.

"We anticipate a rule that will allow families to ask the school that their child with a disability can be taken care of by the precarious support teacher: if the family is satisfied, we intervene to guarantee educational continuity for the child," Valditara explained, illustrating the school measure.

'We are intervening,' Valditara continued, 'on the issue of school integration of foreign pupils: 30 per cent of foreign children are dispersed, 22 per cent have no Italian language skills. Schools will be obliged to ascertain the knowledge of the Italian language for students of first immigration'.

The council of ministers has approved the sports decree launching the 'notorious independent commission for the economic-financial control' of professional football and basketball clubs, Abodi announced. "The measure that concerns me is in six articles," Abodi explained, specifying that the Authority is in Article 2, and that Article 1 deals with the "elections of federal presidents who have already completed their third mandate." 'There is no danger for the autonomy of sport,' stressed Abodi. The commission will make objective assessments, the federations will make decisions'. This is how the minister responded in a press conference at Palazzo Chigi to a question on Coni and Figc's doubts about the financial control authority over prof clubs. 'Risk of Italian teams out of international competitions? There are no regulations in conflict with the autonomy of sport,' Abodi added. 'The regulation envisages precise criteria; the commission will deliver its assessments to the federations, which will then make their determinations on championship registrations.

Among the key points that, according to the draft of three articles of the measure, will characterise the housing decree is the inclusion of blinds and heat pumps among the measures. "The decree-law contains provisions of an urgent and punctual nature aimed at providing an immediate and concrete response to the growing housing need," reads the illustrative report of the draft decree. In particular, these are 'specific measures aimed at removing those obstacles, recurring in practice, that lead to the stalling of purchases and sales due to formal irregularities,' the text stresses. Therefore, 'the need to remove situations of legal uncertainty regarding the state of legitimacy of real estate with reference to so-called "minor discrepancies" appears concrete and current'. Therefore, the decree does not concern structural building abuses, such as the displacement of a load-bearing wall, but only minor abuses, such as a displaced partition or a differently positioned window. Among the measures, the decree envisages more free building interventions, i.e., those interventions that do not require any authorisation, permit and/or communication, as they are not excessively impactful. With regard to awnings and coverings, facilities are introduced for "works of protection from the sun and atmospheric agents whose main structure consists of awnings, awnings, outdoor awnings, pergola awnings" and that "are leaning against or attached to buildings or property units, even with fixed structures necessary for the support and extension of the work". The works in question "cannot determine the creation of a relevant building body and, in any case, of a permanently enclosed space, with consequent variation of volumes and surfaces must have technical-constructive characteristics and an aesthetic profile such as to minimise the visual impact and apparent encumbrance and must harmonise with the pre-existing architectural lines". As for heat pumps and removable windows, in free building it will be possible to carry out ordinary maintenance work, the installation of heat pumps <12 kw, the removal of architectural barriers and the installation of removable panoramic windows (the so-called Vepa) installed on loggias and balconies. It is also possible to construct and install removable and totally transparent panoramic glass windows intended to perform temporary functions of protection from atmospheric agents, improvement of acoustic and energy performance, reduction of heat dispersion, and partial waterproofing from rainwater not only of balconies or loggias but also of porticoes inside the building. For interventions carried out by 24 May 2024, 'construction tolerances are repartitioned in inverse proportion to the useful surface area'. Therefore, 'the smaller the usable surface area, the higher the percentage limit allowed'. Non-observance of height, detachments, cubage, covered area and any other parameter of individual building units does not constitute a building violation if contained within certain limits.

Also on the cdm's table is the legislative decree for the revision of the tax penalty system. It provides for lighter penalties for tax violations. From omitted or unfaithful tax returns to cases in which less than the amount assessed is reported to the tax authorities, the era of maxi-fines of up to 240% will come to an end: the taxpayer will be asked to pay no more than 120% of the amount due. The new regime, which should take effect from September, provides for administrative penalties reduced from one-fifth to one-third. Some of the novelties in the sanctions decree concern precisely violations relating to taxes reported to the tax authorities. For those who do not file an income or IRAP declaration or a withholding agent's declaration, the fine will be 120 per cent, instead of the 120 to 240 per cent envisaged now. While for unfaithful declarations, it will go from 90-180% to 70%.

The Authority project has landed on the government's table. The new supervisory body will control the accounts of professional clubs and will replace the Covisoc, which 'does not guarantee third party status', stressed Minister Abodi, according to whom 'a world that enjoys autonomy should question itself and then generate antibodies that should mitigate the negative effects. What is happening with the authority also represents the failure of a model of self-control'. Coni remains on its position, namely the request for an adaptation of Covisoc and Comtec - the two differentiated bodies for football and basketball - with a different management of appointments. A proposal already rejected, however, by the minister because it 'betrayed the spirit of the rule'. Opposition that also joins CONI with the FIGC; once again at the centre of the debate is the autonomy that, according to sports managers, risks not being guaranteed with the inclusion of government action in sports matters.

Interventions for recovering from drug addiction and other pathological addictions enter among the possible activities to which the 8 per thousand quota devolved to the State can be allocated. This is provided for in the draft decree of the President of the Republic approved in preliminary examination by the Council of Ministers, as reported in a press release from Palazzo Chigi. It 'improves and updates the discipline for the concrete use of the state-managed funds, providing for the Council of Ministers to deliberate by 30 November of each year on the destination among the six types of intervention provided for the resources related to the non-expressed choices'.

The Council of Ministers resolved to extend the state of emergency for intervention abroad as a result of the events taking place in the territories of the Arab Republic of Egypt following the influx of refugees from Gaza, for a further six months, in order to continue to guarantee the continuation of relief and humanitarian assistance to the population, as well as the need for reception in Italy. The Council of Ministers of 6 May decided on a one-year state of emergency.

A further EUR 18.3 million for interventions in the metropolitan city of Messina as a consequence of the 22-27 November and 3 December 2022 cloudburst has been allocated by a resolution of the Council of Ministers. The resources are "from the Fund for national emergencies," reads the communiqué from Palazzo Chigi, which also announces "the extension, for a further 12 months, of the state of emergency as a result of the exceptional weather events that occurred in the days from 16 to 23 January 2023, in the territory of the province of Salerno, requested by the President of the Campania Region-Delegated Commissioner and which does not entail greater burdens for public finance. It was resolved "to declare the state of emergency as a consequence of the exceptional meteorological events that occurred in the days from 30 October to 5 November 2023 in the territory of the province of Belluno, Treviso and Venice, for which the sum of EUR 5,800,000 was deemed appropriate, with coverage placed on the National Emergencies Fund".
