Civil service Minister Marianna
Madia said Thursday there was "no" risk of lay-offs from public
companies or chambers of commerce under the reform of Italy's
public administration approved by parliament last year.
This reform, which still has to be enacted by the
government through enabling decrees, involves a reduction in the
number of public companies and chambers of commerce among other
things.
"We are considering a mechanism similar to the one used for
the provinces, with the reassignment of staff as necessary,"
Madia said.
Last year Madia announced that over 15,000 provincial
employees were to be reassigned to regional or ministerial posts
or otherwise phased out as part of a measure to scrap provinces
altogether.
