THE “MISSION”

Approved by the CDM also a planning document: “The Rai become a media company able to produce for all platforms”

ROME

A Rai no longer at the mercy of the currents of political parties, with a CEO who is the manager and, perhaps, no more fees. It is the reform of the public television license plate Matteo Renzi: a bill on governance, a delegation to the Government on the canon and a policy paper in which he points to a Rai ‘media company able to produce for all platforms. ” The premier leads them in the Council of Ministers when it looked granted a postponement. Entrusts them to Parliament with the responsibility to do it quickly, by July, if you do not want to take the responsibility to “keep the Gasparri” to elect a new board. The government, whatever happens, “will not make a decree.” With the Gasparri would take the majority of the board and the general manager, but Renzi, with elegance, does not say. “No one – remarks Renzi – wants to put their hands on the Rai. Says who denies the reality. ” Renzi wanted to keep its commitments, and after a long meeting on Thursday evening with Antonello Giacomelli, Under Secretary for Communications, has decided to accompany the reform of the governance of a “political document” on the future of Rai, “heritage of the country” , to be subjected to a “debate without spirit from fans,” in addition to provide for a delegation to the executive in the bill to bring about reform of the fee within the year. The challenge of Renzi Parliament is to approve by July, the expiration of the summit, the bill that stores a small part of the Gasparri law. “On the law does not say anything because the last time I Gasparri replied soberly on Twitter,” joked the premier. If Parliament does not make you quickly – is the sense of the challenge – the government will not intervene by decree. Chambers will assume the responsibility to deliver, once again, the public company to “sling currents of parties.” On the contrary, the new reform approved in time, it means to release ‘parties by Rai, “assures the prime minister. Because the new CEO will have the powers of the manager, will assume responsibility for the management (“As in all our reforms,” ​​as the principal in the school reform) and there will be a clearer separation with those who must control: “The board of directors will make the board of directors and the Parliamentary Oversight Committee will monitor. ” Finally, we will reflect on how to “simplify the canon ‘and evasion” shocking “:” I belong – he says – in a culture that wants to eliminate it, but I know it’s complicated. ”

Now you start the parliamentary process, including stomach ache of the minority Democratic Party and the no of some parts of the opposition. It’s the new governance novelty more tangible, with any corrections to assumptions that gave greater weight to the government. The text provides for a board of directors reduced from nine to seven members, four elected by Parliament (two from the Senate and two by the Chamber), two from the Treasury and one by the assembly of employees. The latter is a novelty – said the prime minister – “I love it.” If the board of directors will appoint the president inside, the ad will have strengthened powers than today. Will no longer be forced to go for the board to every decision: will have the possibility to appoint directors of the first band and a capacity for autonomous expenditure passing 2.5000000 to 10,000,000 euro. It will not be appointed by the government, as in the first case, but by the board, “heard” the Treasury. Spa is the model that the prime minister has married since the beginning, with the application of the Civil Code, in order to avoid the delays of the Public Administration and by the Court of Auditors. The other hypothesis, preferred by the minority Democratic Party, which has included in a bill filed in the Senate, one of the dual system, with a supervisory board and one management, had been set aside from the start. Remain standing functions of direction and control of the Supervisory Board. “In the coming days we formalize the start of the parliamentary”, announced Giacomelli. We will start by the Senate, the Public Works Committee in Presidency Fi. The numbers in the Senate are tight, but hopefully in the convergence of Berlusconi’s party: Gasparri appreciates the prevalence of Parliament in the appointment of the board, but “the powers of the CEO can not go beyond those of the board.” The game of RAI, as always, is wide open.
