3.5.5.I-v.5 Territorial alliances
(Patti territoriali)


3.5.5.1. Aim

Agreements between public and private bodies with a view to implementing various measures to promote local development in disadvantaged regions of Italy in accordance with the aims and directives which have been defined within the framework of European Union support and approved by the European Commission by virtue of Decision C (94) 1835 of 29.7.1994.

3.5.5.2. Legal basis

  • - Decree-Law 244 of 23.6.1995, converted into Law 341 of 8.8.1995;
  • - Law 104 of 7.4.1995 (disadvantaged areas);
  • - Law 549 of 28.12.1995;
  • - CIPE Resolution of 12.7.1996 (Gazzetta ufficiale 70 of 25.3.1997).

    3.5.5.3. Contents

    The sponsoring bodies submit a proposal for a territorial alliance to the CNEL (National Economic and Labour Council - Consiglio Nazionale dell'Economia e del Lavoro) identifying the area con-cerned, proposed aims and dates, entrepreneurial initiatives and necessary infrastructure (where applicable), participating bodies, obligations entered, etc. The CNEL verifies that the proposal is consistent with the aims of local development within the alliance. The sponsoring bodies then define the project more precisely, assisted in this respect by a company selected by the CNEL for the purpose of technical consistency with the criteria laid down by the CIPE. The CNEL certifies the agreement reached between the participating social partners by signing a special protocol agreement at the Budget Ministry. Having verified that certain criteria have been upheld, this Ministry passes the documentation on to the CIPE (Interministerial Economic Planning Committee) for approval and at the same time informs the administrations involved. On the basis of the CIPE's resolution to approve the alliance, the sponsoring bodies name the responsible legal entity, who formulates requests concerning the allocation of financial resources. The Budget Ministry sets up a monitoring committee for every alliance approved by the CIPE.

    3.5.5.4. Financial resources

    ITL 400 billion (cf. CIPE Resolution of 12.7.1993 on criteria and procedures for establishing territorial alliances).

    3.5.5.5. Institutional support

    CNEL, Budget Ministry, CIPE.

    3.5.5.6. Duration

    No specific time limit has been set for this measure.

    3.5.5.7. Effects

    The measure was introduced only recently, so that it is not yet possible to estimate the effects on the Italian labour market on the basis of social and economic indicators. Territorial alliances have been set up in the following areas: Enna, Syracusa, Madonia, Nuoro, Vibo Valentia, Benevento, Lecce and Brindisi.
