Not the official launch, only a first round table. Waiting to meet the common, already on a war footing, and also to develop the technicalities of the various texts and avoid subsequent objections by various ministers. So, after the short Easter break, the Cabinet is going to face the Def, to give the green light only to the macroeconomic framework, leaving instead a few more days to define the “National Plan of reforms”, with its time schedule, which will be made public Friday.
Under the watchful eye of Europe, and hoping to get from the EU Commission in the coming months a flexibility that could be worth even half a point of GDP (7-8 bn) the government has set targets and estimates marked by prudence. Unless changes, growth this year will be 0.7 percent , the deficit of 2.6 percent; while for the first 2016 will rise up to 1.1 percent, the second drop to 1.8 percent. There are at least 10 billion in new spending cuts (local authorities, municipalities, ministries, tax breaks, etc.) is the minimum necessary to prevent the escape clause that would require the VAT increase and of excise duty from January 2016. A trap that would undermine efforts to revive the economy, as would, according to Confcommercio, 54 billion more in taxes in three years, only 13 in 2016, costing regime up to 842 Euros per family.
Just in view of new cuts, and also to forestall the “Local tax” that the government would be willing to introduce to unify IMU and Tasi, mayors have already deployed on the front. The mayor of Turin and ANC president Piero Fassino, then followed by a thick and transverse array of local administrators, has requested a meeting with the government before it the various Def: “We need an open, where advance our proposals” , Fassino said, noting that “in the last six years has been asked to municipalities a financial strain considerable proportion higher than that applied to other levels of government: we say clearly that we can not continue to ask us.” Especially because the sacrifices result in cuts of “essential services to the citizens.”
“The meeting will be, our attitude is to minimize the intervention on local government,” assures the Secretary to ‘ economy Pier Paolo Baretta. Moreover, a study just published by the CGIA Mestre, tells of heavy cuts to municipalities and regions. In the period 2011-2015, the various governments have generally well sforbiciato 25.1 billion euro. This year alone, it cuts into the coffers of Mayors 8.3 billion, while the regions are about 9.7 billion (3.3 those with special status), while for the provinces, which are now in the process of extinction, the reduction in transfers was 3.7 billion.
As for the prospects of the government, what you will be able to get more than the 10 billion of spending cuts already made in the current site, should serve to reduce the tax burden, primarily at work: “If there will be additional resources will be the priority for families and to make stable incentives to businesses to hire,” said Renzi, ensuring that there will be no new taxes.
