The government will substitute
regional authorities as needed to make sure EU-funded
infrastructure projects are completed, government sources said
Monday.
The exercise of the so-called "power of substitution" is
contained in Premier Matteo Renzi's Unblock Italy decree, which
is designed to eliminate red tape, stimulate the economy, and
attract investors.
As part of the decree, the government will take it upon
itself to act as a watchdog, making sure regions comply with EU
norms and spend funds they are allocated, the sources said.
