Premier Paolo Gentiloni on Monday
unveiled a 25-year, 47-billion-euro public-investment plan for
infrastructure and other works. "We are all aware that
investments are decisive to give a shot-in-the-arm to the
recovery," he said in signing the presidential decree allocating
the funds. "A State that invests in long-term public works,"
Gentiloni said, " is a State that invests in security and I hope
it brings work and citizens' taxes closer to the life of our
communities with a better quality spread out on our territory".
The premier observed that over 20 billion euros of the fund "are
destined for roads and rail lines, with particular attention for
local transport and ports". He said "then the most significant
sector is that of ensuring the safety of our schools and regards
several public offices for a total of eight billion. Then water
and health, and peripheries, on which we are working with a
second decree too. Then the defence sector and computer
technology for the justice sector".
