The government is to frame a
"work-welfare plan 4.0" to help people stay in work, Industry
Minister Carlo Calenda said Wednesday.
"The aim is to broaden the use of welfare instruments and
continuous training," he said.
Calenda also told business lobby Confindustria that the
government would lower taxes on productivity and said that Italy
needed a new electoral law before a general election.
On the Alitalia crisis, he said the utmost had been done to
spend less of taxpayer's money.
Calenda also called for the continuation of the government's
privatisation programme.
The minister also came out firmly against protectionism and
said that the government would shortly send the European
Commission a proposal on buying high-tech firms from outside the
EU.
