OECD presses Italy on statute of limit

(ANSA) - Rome, October 20 - The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) on Thursday asked Italy to speedily approve a reform of the statute of limitations contained in a bill that has been before the Senate for weeks.
    In a letter to Justice Minister Andrea Orlando and Senate Speaker Pietro Grasso, the OECD said a prolonged delay in ratifying the bill might compromise progress already made with other reforms, such as the lengthening of the statute of limitations for crimes of corruption.
