Govt strips Audit Court of oversight powers on NRRP

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 31 - The government on Wednesday stripped the Audit Court of oversight powers on the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) in an amendment to a civil service reform decree at the House labour committee.
    The court has voiced dismay at reports it would be stripped of these powers, and court official s are to meet government representatives on Thursday.
    The amendment removes the so-called concurrent control of the Court on all expenditure of monies from the post-COVID EU recovery fund.
    It also extends by one year, until 30 June 2024, the so-called shield on the rules on fiscal damage.
    The curbing of the court's NRRP oversight powers comes after the justices criticised delays to the implementation of the plan.
