The Senate in Wednesday gave
final approval to the government's ILVA decree with 168 votes in
favour, 102 against and two abstentions.
The package, which the government had put to a confidence
vote previously, contains various measures regarding the sale of
an ILVA steel plant in Taranto.
The steelmaker's giant Taranto works is going through an
expensive environmental clean-up and revamp to lower cancer
risks and save jobs in the southern Italian city.
