Rome, 28 Oct. (LaPresse) – “Today, after more than 40 years, the government will approve” in the Council of Ministers “the decree reforming the framework law on craftsmanship of 8 August 1985. A measure that is finally becoming a reality”. So said the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, speaking at the Confartigianato Assembly at the Auditorium Conciliazione in Rome. “We are doing this with a twofold aim,” explained the Prime Minister, “to ensure a regulatory framework in step with the times and to respond to the wishes of those artisans who want to combine the excellence of manual labour with the dynamism required in this day and age.” “What will actually change? Fewer bureaucratic requirements to comply with, the freedom to organise production, administration and management even across different locations and regions, without losing artisan status. And a clear principle regarding who owns the business: in an artisan enterprise, those who work with their own hands must continue to carry more weight than those who merely provide the capital,” continued Meloni – And we are bringing this measure before the very same Council of Ministers that will approve the Budget Bill because, through the Budget Bill itself – and therefore at the same time – we are also introducing another clear principle: namely, that a business which was established as an artisan enterprise and has remained so for at least seven years will be able to retain its status even if it decides to increase its staff, whilst paying particular attention to skilled workers and apprentices. ‘Growing will no longer mean having to lose one’s identity.’
