Rome – After the doubts raised on April 7, the State Council gives a favorable opinion to the ministerial decree making operational reform of the TV license fee from July included in our electric bill. But the Ministry of Economic Development – who wrote the decree – and the State Council sent staged a real tussle. The Ministry in fact reflects only partially clenched teeth and the reliefs that the State Council has addressed on April 7.
On April 7, for example, the State Council has asked the Ministry a definition some tv unit, the possession of which is the basis for the payment of the fee. Well, the ministry refuses to write in the decree a rigid definition of television set because – said in a report – a rule “plaster” is likely to grow rapidly in the light of the constant technological innovations taking place. The ministry provides the definition required by the Council of State only in its explanatory note, which is a much weaker act legally. For the man in the street today does not change anything. Pay the fee Rai only for TV device and not to the tablet, smartphone or computer. But the government – which therefore precise it only in its explanatory note – does not change the law and the decree. In other words it keeps your hands free for the future.
The Ministry also refuses to reiterate in the decree that the fee you pay only once, even if we have multiple TVs in the house. Now – says the ministry the Council of State – it follows clearly from the Stability Law of 2016 which launched the novelty of the bill fee. So no need to reaffirm the thing even in the implementing decree.
The ministry does not then accepted the invitation of the State Council to write the decree in the most simple and clear, saw the wide audience of users whose the measure is addressed. No way. Economic Development argues that the Decree is a technical act that governs the relationship between the various public bodies in the field and the power companies. A technical note does not require one at all popular style. On this issue, the Council of State – which also gives the green light to the decree – try to keep the point. He asks the ministry to attach to the decree all instructions and forms necessary for citizens to rely on the exemption from the payment when they are entitled.
The ministry instead welcomes the findings of the State Council on April 7 He complained about the total lack in the original decree of any reference to the rules on user privacy. The new wording of the decree puts the Italian citizens at last under the protective umbrella of the rules on confidentiality. Always the ministry makes life easier to the citizen who has not properly communicated his residence at the power company and therefore in danger of being charged with two canons of two separate loads of light. The request for an exemption to one of the two users is now simplified. In addition, the Ministry promises – as did the State Council – a more widespread information campaign to explain well to the Italian viewers their rights and duties in this new season.
Agreement finally the compensation promised to electricity companies (28 million overall) for the “hard” to manage the fee in the bill. The Council of State has requested and obtained that money is insured directly by the Inland Revenue, and not from the proceeds of the bills. This way, you avoid that companies can claim further compensation if the product of the recovery of the TV gabella is very strong.
