It was approved in the Council of Ministers the bill on Rai. There will be no decree: the law will have to go through the traditional process between the House and Senate. The reform proposal, it said in a statement to the Chigi Palace, part of the governance. The document also opens the controversy with the Gasparri Law, which reformed the public television in 2004. “The Rai is not a municipal provincial, can not undergo procedures quirky or have the nightmare of the Court of Auditors” and “must compete with large global operations, “” the Gasparri law goes in the opposite direction, condemning her to suffer cracks and quarreling Parliament, “the document reads.
On the question of the canon, that the prime minister Renzi says he wants to abolish, the government released a statement in which it is stated that: “The revision of the legislation on the fee will be delegated to the government” within a year from into force of the law “reform Rai, along with the efficiency of the system of public financing.”



Board

A board of directors to seven members (from the current 9) and with such a broad powers: these are the main points of the reform of RAI that the Council of Ministers has just approved. The members of the board will be elected by the House two, two by the Senate, two by the Treasury (one of which will be referred to as such) and one from the workers. The board will elect an internal meeting of the board, namely the president. It will always be the board of directors to appoint the CEO felt the shareholder. As for the dismissal of the members of the board will be proposed by the Assembly, but it takes effect only with a compliance opinion of the Committee of vigilanza.L’ad compared to the general manager of today can decide on spending up to 10 million euro (compared to 2.5 today) and will decide alone on the appointments of top executives. The premier Renzi presented in the Council of Ministers also guidelines with the mission for the future summit of public television.

The premier

Renzi in explaining to the press the bill explained:” In the bill there are some small changes to the governance of RAI that we offer to the parliamentary debate: none of us wants to get their hands on the Rai, the opposite view clashes with reality. It is the opposite. If the majority wants to get their hands on the Rai, just standing still and entrust the Gasparri law. In the reform of the government on the Rai we give to the future manager some power and some more responsibility. Rai also has to be freed from the frustrating debate between individual political forces. The Parliamentary Oversight Committee must be maintained, but should only watch and monitor. If the reform will not be approved in time, the Board of the Rai will be appointed with the Gasparri law. For the first time with the reform of RAI give you the opportunity for employees to indicate one of the seven members of the board, which will be voted on by the workers at the meeting. It is a model that I like very much, but that for the first time takes place in the PA in Italy. ”
The Prime Minister added: “We have reflected on the possibility of eliminating the fee, but it is a very difficult thing. The government subsequently prepare a choice and then make a proposal. The bill approved today on Rai fact there is a delegation to untie this knot, we want to ensure that there is an escape so honest citizens pay him and others refuse to do so. ”
