Two thousand and 73 articles, paragraphs 1560 and 148 references to other laws. These are the numbers of the web of legislation Procurement Code, whose reform has been the focus of the Forum Asmel 2015 which brought together representatives dell’Asmel in Naples, the Italian association for the modernization of local authorities which now unites over 2,200 institutions Locals across the country.
The mayors, who last meeting had s epolti symbolically under a mountain of folders with all the rules of a code that has undergone 565 modifications in less than ten years and to which was added an implementing regulation which consists of 358 articles and 1392 paragraphs and all implementing regulations with the force of law, launched by the Regions, they told the difficulties of extricating legislation in a web which over the years has also collected over 6 thousand pronunciations Supervisory Authority on public contracts and administrative courts, as well as thousands of opinions, emanating from the regional sections of the Court of Auditors.
A situation that local authorities were hoping could be reformed by the government which in recent days has seen the Senate approved the draft law to reform the procurement code which transposes the latest EU directives in the field.
“A bill that, however, does not leave well hope – said Francesco Pinto, Secretary General of Asmel – because it provides more than 60 articles and three levels of control: the Code, the Regulations and the Acts of address ANAC. It reaffirms the prohibition of gold plating, or to exceed the minimum levels of adjustment requested by Europe, but at least half of those articles violate this policy, with the risk of infringement procedures with the European regulations “.
So here is the proposal to Asmel: abolish completely the procurement code with the immediate introduction of EU sectoral directives with the aim, as highlighted Pinto, “to remove a web of requirements that can weigh down red tape and to become food and screen corruption and crime “.
This would in practice, as clarified Pinto,” also in Italy to introduce the principle of the copy out, or copy the full text of the Directives, without add a line, thus following the path blazed by Great Britain, France, Germany and Ireland. “One of the main antidotes to corruption, for that matter, it is represented just from thinning and simplification of legislation, and as explained Pinto” standards European procurement are few, written in fluent Italian and already translated into English, to be used by foreign investors and their immediate introduction in Italy, not only would give a real boost to growth (public contracts in Italy worth around 100 billion euro each year) but would exceed the current welter of formalities and procedures, which is a source of constant delays and questionable and in which it is easier to graft deviations corrupt “.
During debate with Vice President dell’Anpci, Arturo Manera, with representatives of Confapi, Confindustria and Legacoop and with Senator Marco Pagnoncelli, rapporteur of the bill authorizing the government to reform the procurement code in the application of EU directives, the dell’Asmel Secretary General, Francesco Pinto, explained that with the proposed Asmel the copy out “would be overcome by magic all the difficulties of implementation and interpretation of our regulatory system typical Byzantine, because after receiving the full Community directives, would be sufficient one additional layer of regulation, acts of ANAC address, which in turn represent written rules from scratch without the need to interpret the current web of rules “.
The Forum Asmel space for the awards for best performing municipalities in the program transparent, a project born as a result of a memorandum of understanding between Consortium and Asmez Adiconsum, CNA, Confindustria and Confartigiano of Campania and Calabria, with the aim of giving a rating to municipalities pay more attention to transparency and the use of new technologies (institutional portal and online services for effective interaction citizen-body), and the Common Program Innovator rewards, however, local authorities have decided to use computer tools that combine the needs bureaucratic with technological innovation, resulting in savings, efficiency in process management and better quality services to citizens. For example, municipalities that have chosen to manage all procedures relating to production activities through Suap telematics and those who have done so electronically their tenders, in accordance with new legislation concerning the procurement code, using the central purchasing for the races telematics.
In Campania is the province of Salerno who wins the challenge of innovation with four prize-winners: Caggiano, Corby, Montecorice and Teggiano. It follows the province of Naples with three municipalities: Agerola, Cercola and Sant’Agnello. Two are the most common innovators in the provinces of Caserta (Calvi Risorta and Sparanise) and Avellino (Carife and Pago
Vallo di Lauro) and Foiano di Val Fortore is the largest municipality in the province of Benevento innovative.
Salerno divides instead with Napoli the primacy of transparency with two prize-winners for both provinces: Minor and Montecorvino Pugliano in the Salerno and Pomigliano d’Arco near Naples and Poggiomarino. In the other three provinces of Campania the primacy of transparency goes to Apollosa in Benevento, Caserta and Marcianise in San Sossio Baronia in Irpinia.
