SECTION 1: REFORMS AND INVESTMENTS UNDER THE RECOVERY AND RESILIENCE PLAN
-
1.D ESCRIPTION OF R EFORMS AND I NVESTMENTS
-
A.MISSION 1 COMPONENT 1:
Axis 1 - Digitalization of the Public Administration: Axis 1 of component M1C1 of the Italian recovery and resilience plan contains measures that aim to foster the digitalisation of the Italian public administration and includes seven investments and three reforms. Investments aim in particular at: (i) rationalising and consolidating existing digital infrastructures of the public administration; (ii) fostering the uptake of cloud computing, (iii) with particular attention to the harmonisation and interoperability of platforms and data services, the implementation of the ‘onceonly principle’ and the accessibility of data through a catalog of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs); (iv) improving the availability, efficiency and accessibility of all digital public services with the aim of increasing the level of adoption and users’ satisfaction, (v) strengthening Italy’s defences against the risks posed by cybercrime, (vi) fostering the digital transformation of large central administrations; (vii) tackling the digital divide by strengthening citizens’ digital skills. Reforms under this axis aim in particular at (i) streamlining and accelerating the procurement process for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) solutions by the public administration; (ii) supporting the digital transformation of the public administration, and (iii) removing obstacles to the adoption of cloud by public administrations and streamlining data exchange processes between public administrations.
The investments and reforms under this component shall contribute to addressing the Country Specific Recommendations addressed to Italy in 2020 and 2019 on the need to “improve the effectiveness of public administration, including by investing in the skills of public employees, by accelerating digitalisation, and by increasing the efficiency and quality of local public services” (Country-Specific Recommendation 3, 2019), and to “focus investment on the green and digital transition, in particular on […] reinforced digital infrastructure to ensure the provision of essential services” (Country-Specific Recommendation 3, 2020).
Axis 2 - Justice: The performance of the Italian justice system remains far from that of other Member States in terms of duration of proceedings, as outlined in the latest report of the European Commission on the efficiency of justice (CEPEJ). Axis 2 of component M1C1 of the recovery and resilience plan contains measures that aim to make the judicial system more efficient by reducing the length of proceedings and bringing Italy closer to the EU median. This component addresses the Country-specific recommendations addressed to Italy in 2020 and 2019 on reducing the length of civil trials and on improving the effectiveness of the fight against corruption (Country-specific recommendations 4, 2019 and 4, 2020). Furthermore, the digitisation of the justice system is also relevant for the digital transition.
Axis 3 – Public administration: Axis 3 of component M1C1 of the recovery and resilience plan contains measures that aim to reform the Italian public administration and improve administrative capacity. Italy ranks below EU-27 average both for government effectiveness and for trust in government. Italian public administration reforms were affected by a serious implementation gap of top-down reforms and the scarce recognition and diffusion of valuable bottom-up innovations. Administrative capacity is very low. Efforts to strengthen the strategic planning capacity, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, and evidence-based policymaking instruments should continue. The main objective of this component is to enhance the administrative capacity of the Italian public administrations at central and local levels, both in terms of human capital (selection, competences, and careers) and in terms of simplification of administrative procedures. This section presents the overarching structural human resources strategy, ranging from the selection processes to career paths. The reform includes also actions to simplify procedures. Investments in new digital toolkits and strengthened actions on lifelong learning are included in Component 1 of Mission 1. This component addresses the Country-specific recommendations addressed to Italy in 2020 and 2019 on improving the effectiveness of public administration (Country-specific recommendation 3, 2019 and Country-specific recommendation 4, 2020).
Axis 4 – Public procurement and payments by the administration: Axis 4 of component M1C1 of the recovery and resilience plan contains measures that aim to reform certain key aspects of the Italian public procurement legislative framework and to reduce late payments by public administrations at central, regional and local, as well as regional health authorities. The main objective of the reform is to simplify public procurement rules, increase legal certainty for businesses and accelerate the award of public contracts while maintaining procedural guarantees in terms of transparency and equal treatment. These reforms support therefore the timely realization of the infrastructures and projects financed by the Plan.
Axis 5 – Fiscal-structural reforms (Taxation and public expenditure): Axis 5 of component M1C1 of the recovery and resilience includes several reforms aimed at supporting the sustainability of Italy’s public finances (country-specific recommendation 1, 2019). On the revenue side, the reforms aim at improving the tax collection process, encouraging tax compliance and fight tax evasion, in order to reduce compliance costs for taxpayers and increase revenues for the general government, contributing to improving the sustainability of public finances. On the expenditure side, the reforms aim at improving the efficiency of public expenditure, both at the central level, by strengthening the existing framework for yearly spending reviews, and at the subnational level, by completing the reform of fiscal relations across different levels of government.
A.1. Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support
Axis 1- Digitalization of the Public Administration
Investment 1.1: Digital infrastructure
The aim of this investment is to ensure that the systems, datasets and applications of the public administration are hosted in highly reliable data centers, with high quality standards for security, performance, scalability, European interoperability and energy efficiency. For this purpose, the investment envisages the creation of a state of the art, fully-redundant, national cloud-based hybrid infrastructure (called ‘Polo Strategico Nazionale’, PSN), the certification of secure and scalable public cloud alternatives and the migration of the datasets and applications of the public administration to a cloud environment.
The PSN infrastructure is expected to be operated by a technological provider selected through a European tender and to be designed in adherence with the data interoperability standards defined at European level accordingly with Gaia-X initiative to allow the free exchange of non-personal data between the various Member States by interconnecting their national cloud models. Similar requirements are expected to be adopted in the pre-qualification of public cloud providers.
The migration of the datasets and applications of the public administration towards the PSN or towards secure certified public cloud providers is expected to depend on the requirements for performance, scalability and sensitivity of data defined by the different administrations, each of which is expected to retain its independence in the development of applications and the management of data.
Investment 1.3 – Data and interoperability
The objective of this investment is to ensure the full interoperability of key datasets and services across central and local public administrations as well as the harmonization with other EU countries of the service procedures prioritized by the “Single Digital Gateway” directive.
The measure envisages the development of a National Digital Data Platform (“Piattaforma Digitale Nazionale Dati”) that shall guarantee the interoperability of datasets through a catalog of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) shared across central and local administrations (Investment 1.3.1). When built, this platform shall guarantee the interoperability of datasets through a catalog of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) shared across central and local administrations. The Platform shall be fully compliant with EU law.
In addition, the measure envisages the development of a “Single Digital Gateway” in compliance with EU Regulation 2018/1724), that shall be run to help central and public administrations restructure prioritized procedures/processes and enable the fulfilment of the “once-only” principle (Investment 1.3.2).
Investment 1.5 – Cybersecurity
The objective of this investment is to strengthen Italy’s defences against the risks posed by cybercrime, notably through the implementation of a ‘National Perimeter for Cyber Security’ (PSNC), in line with the security requirements set out in the Directive (EU) 2016/1148 on security of network and information systems (NIS Directive), and by strengthening national cyber-defence capabilities of technical inspection and risk monitoring.
The measure envisages the development of a state-of-the-art, integrated system, tightly interconnecting different entities across the country and connecting internationally with partners and trusted technology providers. This is articulated on four pillars: (i) Strengthen front line capabilities towards the public and companies/entities to manage alerts and actual publicly recognized events; (ii) Build/strengthen the country’s inspection and audit capabilities of hardware and software used by subjects with essential functions to certify trustworthiness/preempt threats; (iii) Power up units of law enforcement and cyber units within the Police forces in charge of investigations of criminal activities; (iv) Strengthen significantly cyber asset and human resources in charge of national security and response to cyber threats.
Investment 1.7 – Basic digital skills
The aim of this investment is to reduce the share of current population at risk of digital exclusion by launching the ‘Digital civic service’ initiative, a network of young volunteers of different backgrounds across Italy to provide individuals at risk of digital exclusion with training for the development and improvement of digital skills (Investment 1.7.1) and by strengthening the existing network of ‘Digital facilitation centers’ (Investment 1.7.2).
Digital facilitation centers are physical access points, usually located in libraries, schools, and social centers, which provide citizens with both in-person and online training regarding digital skills in order to effectively support their digital inclusion. The initiative capitalizes on existing successful experiences and aims at ensuring a widespread development of such centers at national level. While 600 centers are already active, their presence shall be further strengthened through dedicated training activities and new equipment, with the overarching goal to establish 2,400 new access points across Italy and to train over 2 000 000 citizens at risk of digital exclusion. Out of 3 000 centers, about 1 200 shall be concentrated in the South of Italy.
The ‘Digital civic service’ initiative is divided into three years and incrementally, it is intended to achieve the following results: (i) realization of three annual calls for digital civil service projects aimed at non-profit organizations registered in the national register of universal civic service organizations; (ii) capacity building of the non-profit organizations participating in the annual call for the digital civil service and launch of digital facilitation and digital education projects, with the launch of 900 projects in the three annual calls provided; (iii) training and field experience in digital civil service projects of about 9 700 volunteers; assistance and training of 1 000 000 citizens benefiting from digital facilitation and digital education activities developed by 900 projects in which 9 700 volunteers shall work.
Reform 1.1 – ICT Procurement
The objective of this reform is to ensure that the public administration may procure Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) solutions in a more timely and more efficient way by streamlining and accelerating the procurement process for ICT services and assets.
The implementation of the reform shall consist in three lines of actions. First, a single database containing a white list of economic operators authorized to provide goods and services to public administrations shall be set-up and a dedicated technological infrastructure shall be introduced to allow the certification of suppliers. Second, a simplified approach (“fast track”) to streamline ICT purchases for PNRR projects shall be adopted. Third, a digital procurement service shall be set up, with the aim to (i) include only certified suppliers (economic operators may request at any time to be certified in line with art. 64 of Directive 2014/24 i/EU); (ii) allow to quickly identify suppliers meeting a specified need (e.g. through a configurator); (iii) provide an intuitive user experience for administrations (e.g. clear description of the services offered, comparative evaluation of suppliers). This overall setup shall build on the existing capabilities of CONSIP, the Italian state entity for procurement.
Reform 1.2 – Transformation Support
The objective of this reform is to support the digital transformation of all central and local public administrations through the set-up of a dedicated “Digital PA transformation office”. The transformation office shall consist in a temporary technology competent resource pool that shall orchestrate and support the migration effort and the centralized negotiation of “packages” of certified external support. In addition, the measure envisages the set up a company focused on software development & operations management to support the digital step-up of central administrations. The transformation office shall in particular support public administration in the implementation of Investments 1.1 to 1.7 included under this component and shall also support the implementation of investments and reforms in digitalization of healthcare included in Mission 6.
Reform 1.3 – Cloud First and interoperability
The aim of this reform is to remove the obstacles to cloud adoption and streamline the bureaucracy that slows down the data exchange processes between public administrations by introducing a set of incentives and obligations aimed at facilitating the migration to cloud and removing procedural constraints to the broad adoption of digital services.
The reform shall entail three lines of action. First, as cloud solutions shall drive cost efficiency in spending in Information and communication technology (ICT), after a predefined “grace period” (e.g. three-years after the launch of the transformation), administrations that did not adhere to the cloud transformation shall see a restriction in their ICT spending budget.
Second, as part of the incentives for cloud migration, the current public accounting rules for expenses related to cloud services shall be revised. Given that the migration to the cloud currently involves a transfer of budgets from capital expenditures to operational expenditures, public accounting rules for expenses related to cloud services shall be revised in order to not disincentivize cloud migration for public administrations.
Third, norms related to data interoperability rules shall be revised, in compliance with the provisions on open data and processing of personal data and current procedures for data exchange between public administrations shall be simplified to streamline procedural aspects and speed up the implementation of interoperability between public administration databases. Furthermore, digital domicile shall be reviewed and integrated with the national resident registry (ANPR) to allow certain and secure digital correspondence between citizens and public administrations.
Axis 2 - Justice
Reform 1.4 - Civil justice
The reform is mainly focused on reducing the length of civil proceedings by identifying a wide range of actions to reduce the number of incoming cases in courts, by simplifying existing procedures, by reducing the backlogs and by increasing the productivity of courts. The reduction of number of incoming cases in courts is achieved through strengthening mediation, alternative dispute resolution and arbitration and reviewing the current system of quantification and recoverability of legal fees. The simplification is pursued by strengthening ‘filtering procedures’ at the appeal level, extending the cases where a single judge is competent to adjudicate, securing the actual implementation of binding timeframes for procedures. Higher productivity of courts is to be achieved through a monitoring system and incentives to accomplish standard performance across courts. The reform also envisages the reduction of the backlog in civil courts, an objective achievable thanks to the envisaged temporary hiring included in the investment component.
Reform 1.5 - Criminal justice
The reform is mainly aimed at reducing the length of criminal proceedings by identifying a wide range of actions by simplifying existing procedures and by increasing the productivity of courts. The simplification is pursued extending the application of simplified procedures, broadening the use of digital technology, defining time limits for the duration of preliminary investigation, reviewing the notification system to make it more effective. Higher productivity of courts is achieved through a monitoring system and incentives to accomplish standard performance across courts.
Reform 1.6 – Insolvency
The reform is aimed at digitalising and enhance insolvency proceedings introducing early warning mechanisms prior to insolvency, the specialisation of courts and pre-courts institutions to manage all phases of insolvency proceedings more effectively including through training and specialisation for members of the judicial and administrative authorities.
Reform 1.7 - Tax courts
The aim of the reform is to make the enforcement of tax law more effective and to decrease the high amount of appeals at the Court of Cassation.
Reform 1.8 - Digitalisation of the justice system
The reform envisages mandatory electronic filing of all documents and full electronic workflow for civil proceedings. It also targets the digitalisation of the first instance criminal proceedings excluding preliminary hearings. Lastly, it aims to introduce a free, fully accessible and searchable database of civil law decisions according to the legislation.
Investment 1.8 - Recruitment procedures for civil, criminal and administrative courts
Investments are aimed at acting in the near term on organizational factors in order to allow the reforms under development to generate results more quickly, maximising synergies while achieving a transformational change through the extraordinary resources provided under the plan. The organizational tool, named ‘office of the trial’, consists of the establishment (or where already existing the strengthening) of support teams for the magistrates (through temporary hiring), with the aim of reducing the backlog and the disposition time in Italy. This measure would also improve the quality of justice by supporting the magistrates in the normal activities of study, legal research, drafting of acts, organization of the files and thereby enabling the judges to focus on the more complex tasks. The investment also comprises training to support the digital transition in the justice system.
Axis 3 – Public administration
Reform 1.9 – Public employment reform and simplification reform
Public employment reforms are following a two-staggered approach. In the short-term, urgent measures are adopted to make best use of RRF funding regarding the governance of the plan and the immediate assistance to the public administrations, lacking administrative capacity. This strategy is flanked with organisation reforms and a human resources strategy aimed at a transformational change for the public administration as a whole. A comprehensive set of measures is identified within the definition of human resources strategic plans to: updating job profiles (also in view of the twin transition); reforming hiring procedures to be more targeted and effective; reforming the senior civil service to homogenise appointment procedures across the public administration; strengthening the link between life-long learning and rewarding mechanisms or specific career paths; defining or updating ethics principles of public administrations; strengthening the commitment to gender balance; and reform of horizontal and vertical mobility of staff. The reform includes urgent measures to simplify administrative procedures to the benefit of businesses and citizens, while also ensuring the smooth implementation of the RRP.
The simplification reform shall eliminate authorizations not justified by imperative reasons of general interest, together with the elimination of unnecessary obligations or those that do not use new technologies. In addition, it shall implement the adoption of silent consent mechanism, the introduction of simple communication, and the adoption of uniform regimes shared with Regions and municipalities.
The simplification reform includes the following elements: the interoperability of Business and Construction procedures (SUAP & SUE); the implementation of a common set of outcome-oriented performance indicators; and the definition of a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to steer organizational change in administrations.
A repository system for monitoring the implementation of the RRF shall be in place and operational by the time of the submission of the first payment request.
Investment 1.9 - Provide technical assistance and strengthen capacity building for the implementation of the Italian recovery and resilience plan
The investment consists of the temporary recruitment of a pool of experts to provide technical assistance to the administrations and strengthen administrative capacity, notably at local level, for the implementation of specific RRP projects, to be deployed on a need basis. This investment also includes the training programmes of public employees within the scope of the strengthening of capacity building.
Axis 4 – Public procurement and payments by public administrations
Reform 1.10 – Reform of the public procurement legislative framework
The first step of this reform consists in the adoption of a first set of urgent simplification measures with a Law-Decree by May 2021 to: simplify and digitalize the procedures of central purchasing bodies; register contracts in the anti-corruption database of the national anti-corruption authority (ANAC); set up dedicated offices in charge of public procurement procedures at Ministries, Regions and Metropolitan Cities; setting a target to reduce the timing between the publication and contract award and between the award of the contract and the completion of the infrastructure; and incentivize alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in the execution phase of the contracts. Before the end of 2021, the Single Coordination Body for public procurement policy shall have an adequate level of staffing and shall adopt a professionalization strategy providing trainings at different levels; the dynamic purchasing systems shall be made available, in line with Public Procurement Directives; and ANAC shall complete the exercise of qualification of contracting authorities.
The second step of this reform consists in a set of amendments to the Public Procurement Code to be implemented by the second quarter of 2023, with actions aimed at: reducing the fragmentation of contracting authorities; requiring the setting of an e-platform as a basic requirement to participate in the nationwide evaluation of procurement capacity; and empowering the national anti-corruption authority to review the qualification of contracting authorities. The scope of the reform shall be also to further simplify and digitalize the procedures of central purchasing bodies and define interoperability and interconnectivity requirements. The reform shall also reduce the restrictions to the possibility to subcontracting, currently contained the Public Procurement Code.
This reform also consists in making the national e-Procurement System operational by the end of 2023.
Reform 1.11 – Reduction of late payments by public administrations and health authorities
This reform consists in ensuring that by 2023 (i) public administrations at central, regional and local level pay within 30 days and (ii) regional health authorities pay within 60 days. To ensure that the problem of late payments is structurally solved, this reform also consists in ensuring that in 2024, (i) public administrations at central, regional and local level continue paying within 30 days and (ii) regional health authorities continue paying within 60 days.
Axis 5 – Fiscal-structural reforms (Taxation and public expenditure)
Reform 1.12 - Reform of the tax administration
Several measures will be adopted to encourage tax compliance and improve the effectiveness of the targeting of audits and controls, including: (i) the creation of the database and the dedicated IT infrastructure for the release of pre-populated VAT tax return; (ii) improving the quality of the database used for “compliance letters”, also with a view of reducing the incidence of false-positive, gradually increasing the number of communications sent out to taxpayers; (iii) reform of the current legislation in order to ensure effective administrative sanctions in case of refusal of private providers to accept electronic payments; (iv) completion of the process of data pseudonymization and analysis of big data, with a view to increase the effectiveness of the risk analysis underlying the selection process for audits. In order to implement these reforms and strengthen the operational capacity of the Revenue Agency, its staff will be increased by 4113 units, in line with the Agency’s "Performance Plan 2021-2023". In addition, the government will undertake a review of possible actions to reduce tax evasion from omitted invoicing in the most exposed sectors, including through targeted incentives to consumers, and will take effective actions based on the findings of the review, with an ambitious commitment to reduce propensity to evade.
Reform 1.13 - Reform of the spending review framework
The plan includes a reform of the spending review framework aimed at improving its effectiveness, including by strengthening the role of the Ministry of Finance and the ex post evaluation process, and improving the practice of green and gender budgeting. The plan also includes the commitment to undertake, on the basis of the existing legal framework, yearly spending reviews over the 2023- 2025 period, to achieve fiscal savings in order to support sustainable public finances and/or to finance growth-enhancing reforms of taxes or public expenditures.
Reform 1.14 - Reform of the subnational fiscal framework
The reform consists in the completion of the “Fiscal federalism” as provided for by the delegation law 42/2009, with the aim to improve the transparency of fiscal relations across the different levels of government, assign resources to subnational governments based on objective criteria and encourage spending efficiency at the subnational level. In particular, the reform shall define the relevant parameters and implement the fiscal federalism for regions with ordinary status, provinces and metropolitan cities.
Reform 1.15 - Reform of public accounting rules
The reform aims at closing the gap with European accounting standards by implementing a single accrual accounting system for the public sector. The reform shall lead to the completion of the conceptual framework as reference for the accrual accounting system according to the qualitative features defined by Eurostat, the set of accrual accounting standards and the multidimensional chart of accounts. The reform shall be complemented by the first round of training for the transition to the new accrual accounting system for representatives of 18,000 public entities.

A.3. Description of the reforms and investments for the loan
Investment 1.2 – Cloud enablement for local PA
The objective of this investment is migrate the datasets and applications of a substantial part of the local public administration to a secure cloud infrastructure, allowing each administration the freedom to choose within a set of certified public cloud environments.
The measure also envisages a “migration as a service” support package to administrations which shall encompass: (i) the initial assessment, (ii) the procedural/administrative support needed to launch the effort, (iii) the negotiation of the necessary external support and (iv) the overall project management over the course of execution. A team supervised by the Ministry for Technological
Innovation and Digital Transition (MITD) is expected to identify and certify a broad list of qualified providers and to negotiate a set of standard support packages tailored to the size of the administration and the services involved in the migration.
Investment 1.4 – Digital services and citizen experience
The objective of this investment is to develop an integrated and harmonized offering of state-of-theart citizen-oriented digital services, ensure their wide-spread adoption thereof across both central and local administrations and enhance users’ experience.
The measure shall:
(i) enhance the experience of digital public services by defining reusable service delivery models ensuring full accessibility requirements (Investment 1.4.1 - Citizen experience - Improvement of the quality and the usability of digital public services);
(ii) improve the accessibility of digital public services (Investment 1.4.2 - Citizen inclusion: Accessibility improvement of digital public services);
(iii) foster the adoption of the digital application for payments between citizens and public administrations (PagoPa) and the adoption of the “IO” app as the key digital touchpoint between citizens and administration for a wide range of services (including notifications) in line with the “one stop shop” logic (Investment 1.4.3 - Adoption scale up of PagoPA platform services and the “IO” app);
(iv) foster the adoption of National Digital Identity platforms (Sistema Pubblico di Identità Digitale, SPID and Carta d’Identità Elettronica, CIE) and of the national registry (Anagrafe nazionale della popolazione residente, ANPR) (Investment 1.4.4 - Adoption scale up of the National Digital Identity platforms (SPID, CIE) and the national registry (ANPR));
(v) develop a single platform for notifications (Investment 1.4.5 - Digitization of public notices);
(vi) foster the adoption of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) paradigms in metropolitan cities to digitize local transport and provide users with an integrated mobility experience from trip planning to payments across multiple modes of transport (Investment 1.4.6 - Mobility as a Service for Italy, with this last measure being financed on the basis of non-repayable financial support).
Investment 1.6 – Digital transformation of large central administrations
The objective of this investment is to re-engineer and digitize a set of priority processes, activities and services within main Central Administrations to increase the efficiency of these administrations and simplify procedures. The Central Administrations concerned include: (i) the National Social
Security Institute (INPS) and National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at work (INAIL), (ii) the Judicial system, (iii) the Ministry of Defence, (iv) the Ministry of Interior, (v) the Finance
Police.
As regards the Ministry of Interior, the project envisages (i) the digitization of services for citizens and the re-engineering of the underlying internal processes; (ii) the development of internal applications and management systems to develop an internal centralized verification system of physical and digital identity and related attributes, allowing public officers (e.g., Police) to perform real-time remote verification of the personal documents and licenses (e.g. health card, driving license, etc.) owned by citizens and associated with CIE; (iii) personnel upskilling to strengthen digital capabilities (1.6.1 - Digitization of the Ministry of the Interior).
As regards the Judicial system, the project foresees (i) the digitization of the last ten years of archives (10,000,000 Court records) related to civil proceedings of lower courts (Tribunali ordinari), the Courts of Appeal, and to the Supreme Court’s judicial files; (ii) the creation of a Data
Lake (software layer) acting as a single point of access to the entire set of raw data produced by the judicial system. The information stored in the Data Lake shall be exploited by deploying artificial intelligence solutions to: (i) Anonymize civil and criminal sentences; (ii) Automate identification of victim-offender relationship in legal provisions; (iii) manage, analyse and organize previous case laws to facilitate consultation by civil judges and public prosecutors; (iv) perform advanced statistical analysis on the efficiency and effectiveness of the judicial system; (v) manage and monitor processing times of activities performed by judicial offices (Investments 1.6.2 -
Digitization of the Ministry of Justice and 1.6.5 - Digitization of the Council of State, financed on the basis of non-repayable financial support).
As regards INPS and INAIL, the project encompasses a major review of their internal systems and procedures as well as the evolution of their digital touchpoints with residents, firms and other public administrations, in order to provide users with a seamless digital experience (1.6.3 - Digitization of
National Social Security Institute (INPS) and National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at work (INAIL)).
As regards the Ministry of Defence, the project encompasses (i) the security enhancement of three fundamental sets of information (personnel, administrative documentation, internal and external communications) and (ii) the migration of all systems and applications to an open source paradigm, compliant with the security policies defined by the reference regulatory framework (Investment
1.6.4 - Digitization of the Ministry of Defence).
As regards the Finance Police, the project aims notably at (i) reorganising databases; (ii) introducing Data Science within the operational and decision-making processes (Investment 1.6.6 -
Digitization of the Finance Police, financed on the basis of non-repayable financial support).

B.MISSION 1 COMPONENT 2:
Axis 1 - Digitalization, Innovation and Competitiveness of the Production System
Axis 1 of Mission 1 Component 2 of the Italian recovery and resilience plan concerns investments and reforms mainly aimed at (i) supporting the digital transition and the innovation of the production system through incentives to investments in technologies, research, development and innovation; (ii) deploying ultra-fast broadband and 5G networks to reduce the digital divide as well as satellite constellations and services; (iii) promoting the development of strategic value chains and supporting the competitiveness of companies, with a focus on SMEs.
Measures under this component aim to address gaps emerging from the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) 2020 as regards the digital transformation of businesses and the shortcomings in connectivity, with a view to strengthen the social and economic resilience of the country.
The investments and reforms under this component shall contribute to addressing the Country Specific Recommendations addressed to Italy in 2020 and 2019 on the need to “strengthen distance learning and skills, including digital ones” (Country-Specific Recommendation 2, 2020), to
“promote private investment to foster the economic recovery” (Country-Specific Recommendation 3, 2020), to “focus investment on the green and digital transition, in particular on […] reinforced digital infrastructure to ensure the provision of essential services” (Country-Specific
Recommendation 3, 2020), to “foster upskilling, including by strengthening digital skills (Country Specific Recommendation 2, 2019), to “focus investment-related economic policy on research and innovation, and the quality of infrastructure, considering also regional disparities” (Country
Specific Recommendation 3, 2019) and, to some extent, to “support non-bank access to finance for innovative and smaller firms” (Country-Specific Recommendation 5, 2019).
It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the ‘Do no significant harm’ Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).
Axis 2 – Improving business environment and competition
The main objective of the axis 2 of Mission 1 Component 2 is to improve the business environment to facilitate entrepreneurship, and the framework conditions for competition to favour a more efficient allocation of resources and productivity gains. The main tool to reach these goals is the
Annual Competition Law, to be adopted each year.
The investments and reforms under this component shall contribute to addressing the Country Specific Recommendations addressed to Italy in 2019 on the need to “address restrictions to competition […), also through a new annual competition law” (Country-Specific Recommendation
3, 2019).

Investment 4: Satellite technology and space economy
The objective of the investment is to develop satellite connections in view of the digital and green transition and to contribute to the development of the space sector. The investment has also the aim to enable services such as secure communications and monitoring infrastructure for various sectors of the economy and, to this effect, it includes both upstream (launch services, production and operation of satellites and infrastructure) and downstream (generation of enabled products and services) activities.
The investment includes the award of tenders and encompasses four projects:
-
1.Satcom, which consists of (i) upstream activities: including specification, design, development of three components, notably Internet of Things based on small satellites, a Quantum Communication Mission based on current prototypal developments to enable the development of technologies also for optical / photonic telecommunications missions, and enhancement of existing infrastructures; (ii) downstream activities: including design, development and operations of a hub and platforms for the provision of satcom services.
-
2.Earth Observation (EO), which consists of (i) upstream activities: including specification, design, development of a constellation for remote sensing (Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), hyperspectral) and the procurement of launches focused on monitoring land, sea and atmosphere; (ii) downstream activities: including the realization in Southern Italy of an incubator for EO applications and services and the realization of the CyberItaly Project encompassing the creation of a digital replica of the country.
-
3.Space Factory, consisting of two sub-projects: (i) Space Factory 4.0: the specification, design and building of digital manufacturing, assembly and testing facilities for small satellites and the implementation of a cyber physical system of production and satellite digital twinning aimed at establishing a bidirectional link between the digital model and its physical counterpart; (ii) Access to Space: research, development and prototyping for the realization of green technologies for future generation of thrusters and launchers, including in-flight demonstration of selected technologies.
-
4.In-Orbit Economy, which consists of the implementation of a demonstrator for in orbit servicing technologies for in orbit interoperability; the increase of the national Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST) capacity including a network of ground-based sensors for the observation and tracking of space debris; design, development, commissioning of assets for the acquisition and management and provision of the data service in support of Space Traffic Management activities.
It is envisaged that the investment does not have military or defence objectives and implications.
Investment 5: Industrial supply chain policies and internationalization
The objective of the investment is to strengthen industrial supply chains, in particular by facilitating access to funding, and to promote the competitiveness of enterprises (notably SMEs), in particular by supporting their internationalisation and strengthening their resilience after the COVID-19 crisis. The investment consists of two lines of intervention:
-
1.Refinancing of Fund 394/81 managed by SIMEST. It consists of the re-financing of an existing Fund currently managed by public agency SIMEST, providing for financial support to enterprises, notably SMEs, to support their internationalisation through various tools such as programs to access foreign markets and development of e-commerce.
-
2.Competitiveness and resilience of supply chains. It consists of financial support to enterprises, through the instrument of the Development Contract, for projects related to key strategic value chains, such as industrial development programs, environmental protection development programs, sustainable mobility and tourism activities.
The above interventions shall be conducted according to investment policies in line with the objectives of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, including in relation to the application of the principle of ‘Do no significant harm’, as further specified in the ‘Do no significant harm’ Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

C.MISSION 1 COMPONENT 3: Tourism and Culture 4.0.
This component of the Italian recovery and resilience plan focuses on relaunching two sectors heavily hit by the Covid crisis: culture and tourism. The measures related to the culture sector aim at making cultural sites more accessible both digitally and physically, more energy efficient and safer with respect to natural disasters, at supporting the recovery of the cultural and creative sectors, including by supporting the attractiveness of small cultural sites and rural architecture as also to enhance territorial cohesion. Three sets of measures are envisaged: i) interventions to develop the cultural heritage for the next generation, including investment for the digital transition and to improve the energy efficiency of cultural sites, ii) culture-led regeneration of small historical sites, religious and rural heritage; iii) interventions for cultural and creative industries 4.0. Measures related to tourism aim at enhancing the competitiveness of the sector, including by reducing the fragmentation of the sector and enhancing the economies of scale, improving and upgrading the standards of the hospitality sector, encouraging digital innovation and the use of new technologies by operators, and support the green transition of the sector. In this respect, measures are envisaged to support firms, including SMEs, working in the tourism sector and tourist operators, including through investment in digital tools.
The investments and reforms under this component shall contribute addressing the Country Specific Recommendations addressed to Italy, in particular on the need to “promote private investment to foster the economic recovery and focus investment on the green and digital transition” (Country Specific Recommendation 3, 2020). They also support social and territorial cohesion and the competitiveness of the Italian economy, while promoting the digitalisation and sustainability of the tourism sector.
C.1. Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support
Investment 1.1 Digital Strategy and Platforms of Culture Heritage
The measure includes actions to digitise the Italian cultural heritage, as to improve access to cultural resources and digital services.
The intervention shall create a new national digital infrastructure to collect, integrate and retain digital resources, making them available for public use through dedicated platforms. Interventions on “physical” heritage shall be accompanied by the digitisation of museums, archives, libraries and cultural sites, to enable citizens to explore new forms of benefitting from the cultural heritage.
Investment 1.2: Removal of physical and cognitive barriers in museums, libraries and archives to enable wider access and participation in culture
The measure aims at removing architectural, cultural and cognitive barriers in a number of Italian cultural institutions. Interventions shall be combined with training for administrative staff and cultural operators, promoting a culture of accessibility and developing expertise on legal aspects, reception, cultural mediation and promotion.
Investment 1.3: Improve energy efficiency, in cinema, theatres and museums
The measure shall improve the energy efficiency of buildings linked to the cultural and creative sector. They are often found in outdated, energy inefficient facilities that generate high maintenance costs related to air-conditioning, lighting, communication and safety. The investment shall finance actions to improve the energy efficiency of Italian museums, cinemas and theatres (both public and private).
Reform 3.1: Adoption of minimum environmental criteria for cultural events
The aim of the reform is to improve the ecological footprint of cultural events (such as exhibitions, festivals, cultural events and musical events) by including social and environmental criteria in public procurement for cultural events funded, promoted or organised by the public authority.
Investment 3.3: Capacity building for culture operators to manage the digital and green transition
The overall objective of the investment is to support the recovery of the cultural and creative sectors. This consists of two interventions.
The first intervention (‘Supporting the recovery of cultural activities by encouraging innovation and the use of digital technology throughout the value chain’) aims to support cultural and creative operators to implement digital strategies and to increase their management capacities.
The second intervention (‘Promoting a green approach throughout the cultural and creative chain’) aims to encourage an environmentally sustainable approach throughout the chain, reducing the ecological footprint, promoting innovative and inclusive eco-design, including in the context of the circular economy, in order to steer the public towards more responsible environmental behavior.
In order to ensure that the measure complies with the ‘Do no significant harm’ Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01), the eligibility criteria contained in terms of reference for upcoming calls for projects shall exclude the following list of activities: (i) activities related to fossil fuels, including downstream use9; (ii) activities under the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) achieving projected greenhouse gas emissions that are not lower than the relevant benchmarks10; (iii) activities related to waste landfills, incinerators11 and mechanical biological treatment plants12; and (iv) activities where the long-term disposal of waste may cause harm to the environment. The terms of reference shall additionally require that only activities that comply with relevant EU and national environmental legislation may be selected.
9 Except projects under this measure in power and/or heat generation, as well as related transmission and distribution infrastructure, using natural gas, that are compliant with the conditions set out in Annex III of the ‘Do no significant harm’ Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).
10 Where the activity supported achieves projected greenhouse gas emissions that are not significantly lower th an the relevant benchmarks an explanation of the reasons why t his is not possible should be provided. Benchmarks established for free allocation for activities falling within the scope of the Emissions Trading System, as set out in the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/447.
11 This exclusion does not apply to actions under this measure in plants exclusively dedicated to treating non - recyclable hazardous waste, and to existing plants, where the actions under this measure are for the purpose of increasing energy efficiency, capturing exhaust gases for storage or use or recovering materials from incineration ashes, provided such actions under this measure do not result in an increase of the plants’ waste processing capacity or in an extension of the lifetime of the plants; for which evidence is provided at plan t level.
12 This exclusion does not apply to actions under this measure in existing mechanical biological treatment plants , where the actions under this measure are for the purpose of increasing energy efficiency or retrofitting to recycling operations of separated waste to compost bio-waste and anaerobic digestion of bio-waste, provided such actions under this measure do not result in an increase of the plants’ waste processing capacity or in an extension of the lifetime of the plants; for which evidence is provided at plant level.
Investment 4.1:Digital Tourism Hub
The aim of the measure is to create a Digital Tourism Hub, accessible through a dedicated web platform, enabling the entire tourism ecosystem in order to enhance, integrate and promote its own offer. The investment shall finance a new digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence models for data analytics and basic digital services for Tourism undertakings.
In order to ensure that the measure complies with the ‘Do no significant harm’ Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01), the eligibility criteria contained in terms of reference for upcoming calls for projects shall exclude the following list of activities: (i) activities related to fossil fuels, including downstream use [5] ; (ii) activities under the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) achieving projected greenhouse gas emissions that are not lower than the relevant benchmarks [6] ; (iii) activities related to waste landfills, incinerators [7] and mechanical biological treatment plants [8] ; and (iv) activities where the long-term disposal of waste may cause harm to the environment. The terms of reference shall additionally require that only activities that comply with relevant EU and national environmental legislation can be selected.
Reform 4.1: Regulation ordering of the professions of tourist guides
The investment in the Digital Tourism Hub is complemented by a reform to streamline the touristic guides regulations. The measure provides, with due regard for local regulation, a professional organisation for tourist guides and their area of origin. The systematic and uniform application of the reform would make it possible to regulate the fundamental principles of the profession and to standardize the levels of service provision throughout the national territory, with a positive effect on the market. The reform shall include training and further training in order to best support the offer.

D.MISSION 2 COMPONENT 1: Circular economy, agri-food and green transition
This component of the Italian recovery and resilience plan covers investments and reforms in waste management, circular economy, support for agri-food value chains and green transition. These reforms and investments are complemented by reforms to increase competition in waste management and local public services in the “business environment” reform component and improve water consumption for agriculture. This component responds to the country-specific recommendations to focus investment in the green transition, including in the circular economy.
The investments and reforms under this component shall contribute addressing the country- specific recommendations addressed to Italy in 2020 and 2019 on the need to “focus investment on the green and digital transition, in particular on […] waste and water management” (CSR 3, 2020) and to “focus investment-related economic policy on […], and the quality of infrastructure, considering also regional disparities” (country- specific recommendation 3, 2019).
It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).
D.1. Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support
Circular Economy
Reform 1.1 – National Strategy for Circular Economy
This reform consists in the adoption of a broad National Strategy for the Circular Economy covering a new digital waste traceability system, tax incentives to support recycling activities and the use of secondary raw materials, a revision of environmental taxation, the right to reuse and repair, the reform of the EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) and Consortia system, support for existing regulatory tools (such as End of Waste legislation and Minimum Environmental Criteria under Green public procurement) and support to industrial symbiosis project. The reform of the
EPR and Consortia system shall also address the need for a more efficient use of the environmental contribution to assure the application of transparent and non-discriminatory criteria. A specific supervisory body with the aim of monitoring the functioning and the effectiveness of the Consortia systems, under the presidency of Ministry pf Ecological Transition (MITE) shall be created. The measure shall address all the Consortia (not only CONAI packaging system).
Reform 1.3 – Technical support for local authorities
This reform consists in technical support to local authorities by the government for the implementation of environmental EU and national regulation, the development of plans and projects regarding waste management and on tendering procedures. The support on tendering procedures shall ensure that concessions in waste management are granted in a transparent and nondiscriminatory way increasing competitive processes to achieve better standards for public services.
This reform supports therefore the implementation of the waste management reforms proposed in the business environment reform component. Technical support shall also cover green public procurement.
Investment 2.1 – Logistics plan for the agri-food, fishing and aquaculture, forestry, floriculture and plant nursery sectors
This measure consists in the granting of support to tangible and intangible investments (such as storage facilities for agricultural raw materials, transformation and conservation of raw materials, digitalization of logistics and infrastructural interventions on food markets), investments in food transport and logistics to reduce the environmental and economic costs and innovation of production processes, precision farming and traceability (such as blockchain). The selection criteria shall be coherent with the needs assessment developed under the Common Agricultural Policy
Strategic Plan by the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies. The measure aims to encourage the reduction of emissions in the transportation and logistics phases in the agri-food sector, by means of electric vehicles and transport systems and boosting the digitalization of the sector and the utilisation of renewable energy.
Investment 2.2 – Agri-solar Park
This measure consists in the granting of support to investments on productive structures of the agricultural, livestock and agro-industrial sector, to remove and dispose of the existing roof and construction of a new insulated roof, to create automated ventilation and/or cooling systems and to install solar panels, intelligent management of flows and accumulators.
Investment 2.3 – Innovation and mechanization in the agricultural and food sectors
This measure consists in the granting of support to investments in tangible and intangible assets aimed at:
-
-agricultural innovation and mechanization, notably off-road machinery;
-
-innovation in the processes of transformation, storage and packaging of extra virgin olive oil.
Off-road machinery shall be zero-emission or run solely on bio-methane compliant with the criteria
set out in Directive 2018/2001 i (RED II Directive). Biofuel and biomethane gas and biofuel producers shall have to provide certificates (Proof of Sustainability) issued by independent
evaluators, as provided for in Directive 2018/2001 i. The operator shall purchase guarantee of origin certificates commensurate to the expected fuel use.
Investment 3.3 - Culture and awareness on environmental topics and challenges
This investment consists in the design and production of digital content to raise awareness of environmental and climate challenges. The digital content shall consist in podcasts, school-video lessons, videos and articles. An online, subscription-free platform shall be created with the objective to become the most comprehensive “repository” of educational and recreational materials on environment-related topics. The production of digital content is expected to involve key influencers.
Examples of topics covered through different channels may be: the rules of transition, energy mix and renewables role, climate change, the sustainability of the atmosphere and global temperatures, the hidden role of oceans, water reserves, individual and organizational ecological footprint, circular economy and new agriculture.

Reform 1.2 – National Programme for Waste Management
This reform consists in the adoption of a broad National Programme for Waste Management aiming the highest levels of preparation for reuse, recycling and recovery of waste, adapting the network of installations necessary for integrated waste management, minimizing final disposal as the ultimate and residual option, establishing monitoring systems, preventing the opening of new infringement procedures against Italy, tackling low collection of waste, discouraging landfilling and ensuring complementarity with regional waste programmes, enabling the achievement of European and national waste legislation objectives and tackling illegal waste dumping and open-air burning.
Investment 1.1 –Implementation of new waste management plants and modernization of existing plants
This investment consist in improving and mechanising of the separated waste collection network of municipalities, building new treatment/recycling plants for organic waste, multi-material, glass and paper packaging and innovative treatment/recycling plants addressing personal adsorbent disposal
(PAD), wastewater sludge, leather waste and textile waste.
Investment 1.2 – Circular economy: “flagship” projects
This investment consists in supporting the improvement of separate collection network, including through digitalization of the processes and/or logistics, and treatment/recycle plants for the following sectors:
-
-Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), including wind turbine blades and
photovoltaic panels; - Paper/paperboard industry;
-
-Plastic waste recycling (mechanical, chemical recycling, “Plastic Hubs”) including Marine Plastic Litter (MPL). In this area industrial symbiosis projects shall be encouraged in the form
of “circular districts” in order to assure a complete reuse of plastic recycling by-products and produce high added value goods;
-
-Textile (“Textile Hubs”).
Furthermore a Global Monitoring System to face illegal dumping shall be developed using satellites, drones ad artificial intelligence (AI) technologies (for a further description of the overall intervention see Investment 1.1-Implementation of an advanced and integrated monitoring and forecasting system in Mission 2 Component 4). The Global Monitoring System, together with proposed measures on waste traceability shall support local control authorities and forces of order in preventing, controlling and tackling illegal dumping and organized crime activities in waste management.
Investment 3.1 - Green islands
This investment consists in financing and implementing projects in energy (such as renewables, grid and energy efficiency), water (such as desalination), transport (such as cycling paths, zero-emission buses and boats) and waste (such as separation of waste) in the 19 non-interconnected Small Islands. Biomethane shall comply with the criteria set out in Directive 2018/2001 i (RED II Directive). Biofuel and biomethane gas and biofuel producers shall have to provide certificates (Proof of Sustainability) issued by independent evaluators, as provided for in Directive 2018/2001 i. The operator shall purchase guarantee of origin certificates commensurate to the expected fuel use.
In order to ensure that the measure complies with the ‘Do no significant harm’ Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01), the eligibility criteria contained in terms of reference for upcoming calls for projects shall exclude the following list of activities: (i) activities related to fossil fuels, including downstream use 21 ; (ii) activities under the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) achieving projected greenhouse gas emissions that are not lower than the relevant benchmarks 22 ; (iii) activities related to waste landfills, incinerators 23 24 and mechanical biological treatment plants ; and (iv) activities where the long-term disposal of waste may cause harm to the environment. The terms of reference shall additionally require that only activities that comply with relevant EU and national environmental legislation shall be selected.
Investment 3.2 - Green communities
This investment consists in the support of rural and mountain territories, which intend to exploit in a balanced way their main resources (so-called “green communities”) through investments notably in following fields:
-
-the integrated and certified management of the agro-forestry heritage ("also through the exchange of credits deriving from the capture of carbon dioxide, the management of
biodiversity and the certification of the wood supply chain"); - the integrated and certified management of water resources;
-
-the production of energy from local renewable sources, such as micro hydroelectric plants, biomass, biogas, wind, cogeneration and biomethane;
-
-the development of sustainable tourism ("capable of enhancing local products");
-
-the construction and sustainable management of the building stock and infrastructure of a
modern mountain; - energy efficiency and intelligent integration of plants and networks;

F.MISSION 2 COMPONENT 3- Energy efficiency and requalification of buildings
Energy efficiency is the cornerstone of this component, which is organised across three main pillars.
• The first pillar is the introduction of a temporary incentive for energy and anti-seismic
renovation of private real estate, through a tax deduction of the costs incurred for the interventions. The eligible interventions are those which increase the energy performance of the dwelling by at least by two categories of the Energy Certificate, achieving on average an improvement in energy consumption above 30%.
• The second pillar of this component is the improvement of the efficiency and safety of public
schools and judicial citadels.
• The third pillar is aimed at stimulating construction and expansion of efficient district heating
networks in urban areas.
In addition, there are a number of reforms to simplify and accelerate the implementation of projects aimed at improving the energy efficiency of buildings.
This component is expected to strongly contribute to the achievement of Italy’s climate and energy targets for 2030 as the civil sector is responsible for almost a half of total energy consumption in
Italy. Most buildings were built before the adoption of the criteria for energy saving and the entry into force of the corresponding legislation, and so the needs in terms in terms of energy efficiency and adaptation to seismic risks are significant.
This component addresses part of the 2020 country-specific recommendation 3 by which the Council recommended Italy to take action to ‘Focus investment on the green and digital transition, in particular on […] water management as well as reinforced digital infrastructure to ensure the provision of essential services’. It also addresses parts the 2019 country-specific recommendations
3 (‘Focus investment-related economic policy on the quality of infrastructure, taking into account regional disparities. […] and improve the effectiveness of public administration […] by accelerating digitalisation, and by increasing the efficiency and quality of local public services’).
It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).
F.1. Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support
Investment 2.1: Strengthening of the Ecobonus and Sismabonus for energy efficiency and building safety.
The Superbonus measure finances the energy and seismic renovation of residential buildings, including social housing as specified in Article 119 of the so-called ‘Decreto Rilancio’ adopted to address the adverse economic and social effects of the pandemic. The goal is twofold: 1) to make a significant contribution to the achievement of the energy saving and emission reduction targets set by the Integrated National Plan for Energy and Climate of Italy (PNIEC) for 2030, and 2) to provide counter-cyclical support to the construction sector and to private demand to offset the effects of economic downturn.
The support is provided in the form of a tax deduction over five years. It is provided that beneficiaries, as an alternative to the instrument of tax deduction, may, instead of the direct use of the deduction, choose to use financial instruments (so-called "credit transfer" and "invoice discount"), to address the problem of the high initial investment costs. These alternative instruments provide that the tax deduction accrued by the beneficiary is made for an equal amount in:
-
1.a contribution in the form of a discount on the prepayment price from the supplier (i.e. construction companies, designers, or more generally the general contractor) who discount it directly on the invoice and recovered in the form of a tax credit reducing the cost of the initial investment;
-
2.a tax credit to be ceded to a financial institution, which will pay upfront the necessary capital.
This mechanism offsets the possible disincentive of not making the renovation because of the high initial investment costs. The choice of the general contractor or the financial institution will be left to the beneficiary.
Condominiums, single-family buildings, undivided housing cooperatives, non-profit organizations and voluntary associations, amateur sports associations and clubs and social housing may benefit from this tax incentive. To be eligible, the renovation must be classified as "deep renovation" (that is, a medium renovation according to Commission Recommendation (EU) 2019/786), thus entailing an improvement of at least two energy classes (corresponding on average to primary energy saving of 40%).
The scope of eligible interventions covered by this measure is wide, including for instance driving interventions, towed interventions, thermal insulation of opaque surfaces, and interventions on air conditioning systems (condensing boilers; heat pumps; connection to efficient district heating networks under specific conditions; solar thermal; biomass boilers under specific conditions), PV systems with related storage systems or infrastructure for charging electric vehicles. Interventions to reduce the seismic risk of buildings are also part of this instrument and are expected to account for around 14% of the budget allocated. Two ministerial decrees of 6 August 2020 have already defined the technical requirements of the interventions and the procedures to certify compliance with the specific maximum requirements and costs.
The Superbonus has already been active since 1 July 2020 and s hall remain in force until 30 June 2022 (for social housing until 31 December 2022). Access to the benefit may be required for a further period of six months, in the case of works on condominiums or social housing, when at least
60% of the works has been carried out before the dates indicated above. To give more time to more complex interventions it is planned to extend the application of the measure for condominiums until
December 31, 2022 and for social housing until June 30, 2023, regardless of the completion of at least 60% of the works.
It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the
DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, the cost of installing gas-condensing boilers shall represent a small part of the overall renovation programme cost and be installed in order to replace oil-based boilers. Additionally, the installation of natural-gas boilers shall be compliant with the conditions set up in the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).
Reform 1.1- Simplification and acceleration of procedures for energy efficiency interventions This reform aims to simplify and accelerate the procedures for the implementation of interventions related to energy efficiency. It consists of four major actions:
• Launching of the national portal for the energy efficiency of buildings: The Portal shall
support citizens and operators in managing energy efficiency projects and shall be an easy source for accessing information for decision-makers. It shall contain information on the energy performance of the national building stock, which is expected to help firms and citizens in their
decisions of improving the energy performance of their property. A one-stop shop shall be setup to provide assistance and all useful information to citizens and businesses relating to energy mapping of buildings, compliance with sector regulations, evaluation of the potential for efficiency and selection of priorities for action, including redevelopment plans in stages, the selection of the most appropriate promotional tools for the purpose, and the training of professional skills.
• Strengthening of the activities of the information and training plan aimed at the civil
sector - The Information and Training Plan shall take into account the need to develop both specific initiatives aimed at filling the information gap of end users in the residential sector, and appropriate training activities on incentives and on the most effective interventions for companies that offer energy services, that carry out interventions and for condominium administrators. The Plan shall be developed taking into account the needs resulting from the Superbonus measure, in order to maximize its effectiveness and lay the foundations for a lasting
culture of efficiency in construction.
• Updating and strengthening of the National Fund for energy efficiency: With the revision
of the regulations for the establishment and management of the National Energy Efficiency Fund (Article 15 of Legislative Decree 102/2014, and Interministerial Decree of December 22, 2017) amendments shall enter into force to foster the enhancement and greater use of available
resources.
• Accelerating the implementation phase of projects financed by the Central Public
Redevelopment Programme EPAC program: A regulatory review shall be carried out aimed at promoting a more efficient management of resources specifically allocated to the Building
Requalification Programme of the Central Public Administration (PREPAC).

G.MISSION 2 COMPONENT 4- Territorial planning and water resources
The aim of this component of the Italian recovery and resilience plan is to address a number of long-lasting weaknesses related to the management of water resources and hydrogeological risks in
Italy and to adopt a number of measures aimed at preserving biodiversity. This is to be achieved through a significant and balanced combination of reforms and investments in those various dimensions.
On the reforms side, the component proposes a set of measures aimed principally at improving the efficiency in the management of water resources by reducing the fragmentation of the sector, by establishing an adequate pricing policy and by setting a number of incentives to tackle the existing problems related to wastewater management. Reforms in this component also include a set of measures to simplify the design and implementation of projects related to water infrastructure and to the management and reduction of hydrological risks.
The investments associated to this component shall contribute to mitigate and better manage the hydrogeological risk in Italy, both from a prevention and adaptation perspective and shall aim to make the infrastructure related to water more resilient. In addition, they aim to significantly improve the management of water resources through better wastewater management and a significant reduction of water leakages, including in the agricultural sector. The investments shall strengthen the digitalisation of those sectors and shall make them more energy efficient and better adapted to climate change. This component also incorporates a set of measures aimed at preserving biodiversity and green areas in line with the EU 2030 “Biodiversity Strategy”.
This component addresses part of the 2020 country-specific recommendation 3 by which the Council of the European Union recommended Italy to take action to ‘Focus investment on the green and digital transition, in particular on […] water management as well as reinforced digital infrastructure to ensure the provision of essential services’. It also addresses parts the 2019 countryspecific recommendation 3 (‘Focus investment-related economic policy on the quality of infrastructure, taking into account regional disparities. […] and improve the effectiveness of public administration […] by accelerating digitalisation, and by increasing the efficiency and quality of local public services’).
It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).
G.1. Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support
Reform 2.1- Simplification and acceleration of the procedures for implementing interventions
against hydrogeological instability
The aim of this reform is to overcome the existing weaknesses in the governance of hydrogeological risks highlighted by the Italian Court of Auditors. It shall consist of simplifying and accelerating procedures for the implementation of projects in this area, including establishing maximum deadlines for each phase; prioritising interventions in line with the National Risk
Assessment and with Article 6 of the Decision 1313/2013 EU and Risk Management Capability Assessment and the Do No Significant Harm principle; setting a plan to increase the administrative capacity of the entities responsible for the implementation of these projects and reinforcing the coordination between the various levels of government involved, including by streamlining the information flows.
Reform 2- Reform of the legal framework for a better management and a sustainable use of water
This reform shall aim to address the long-lasting problems of the water sector in Italy, reflected in many ongoing infringement procedures for non-compliance with the Council Directive
91/271/EEC, in an excessive fragmentation of the sector and in the absence of adequate incentives and pricing policies. The measures envisaged are expected to significantly reduce the fragmentation of the sector by reducing the number of operators and encouraging economies of scale, setting incentives to reduce water leakages and the excessive consumption of water by the agricultural sector and establishing adequate pricing policies for a more sustainable consumption of water.
A set of Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) shall be signed with the regions Campania, Calabria, Molise and Sicilia to reduce fragmentation in the number of operators providing water services. The
MoU shall set objectives in terms of setting Local Government Bodies, reducing the number of operators and achieving economies of scale with a view to setting single operators for at least each
40 000 inhabitants within the two years following the signature of those MoU.
Reform 4.2 “Measures to ensure full managerial capacities for Integrated water services”
This reform aims to address major problems in the management of water resources and make the system more efficient.
The system is expected to reduce the existing fragmentation in the number of operators, which currently hinders an efficient use of water resources in some parts of the country. The reform is also expected to set the right incentives for a better use of water resources in the agricultural sector, to introduce a system of penalties for the illegal extraction of water and to introduce a system of prices which reflects better and is more in line with the polluter-pays principle while avoiding the expansion of existing irrigation systems. The measures shall adopted in cooperation with the regions where the management of water resources is more problematic at present.
Investment 3.2- Digitization of national parks and marine protected areas
This measure shall set standardised and digitised procedures for the modernisation, efficiency and effective functioning of protected areas in its various dimensions such as nature conservation, administrative simplification of procedures and services to visitors of national parks and marine protected areas. After the intervention the monitoring of natural resources is expected to have improved so as to take the necessary preventive and corrective measures when necessary for the protection of biodiversity. It is also expected to lead to better services and awareness about biodiversity to visitors of national parks and marine protected areas for a more sustainable tourism and responsible consumption of natural resources.

G.3. Description of the reforms and investments for the loan
Reform 3.1 Adoption of national programs on air pollution control
The reform aims to align national and regional legislation, and to introduce related measures for the reduction of emissions of air pollutants (in accordance with targets set by Directive 2016/2284 i on national emission ceilings and altering climate gases).
Investment 1.1: Implementation of an advanced and integrated monitoring and forecast system
The investment shall develop a monitoring system to identify and predict risks as a result of climate change and inadequate spatial planning through the use of advanced technologies. These technologies shall allow remote control of large territorial bands setting the basis for the development of risk prevention plans, including the reinforcement of existing infrastructure, and the identification of illegal disposal of waste. The main instruments that shall be developed to achieve those objectives shall be the collection of spatial data using satellite observation systems, drones, remote sensors and integration of information systems; telecommunications networks with the most advanced security requirements; the set-up of central and regional control rooms, to have access to the information collected on the ground; and cyber security systems and services for protection against cyber-attacks. The interventions shall principally take place in the eight regions of the South.
Investment 2.1: Measures for flood and hydrogeological risk reduction
The Italian territory is characterised by a significant degree of hydrogeological instability, which has been exacerbated by the effects of climate change. This risk has a detrimental impact not only in the quality of life but also in the economic activity of the areas most exposed to this risk.
A broad and comprehensive set of interventions shall be undertaken combining structural measures such as securing landslides or reducing the risk of flooding in metropolitan areas with others focussed on requalification, monitoring and prevention of emerging risks.
The objective is reducing by 1 500 000 the number of people that are presently at risk.
Investment 2.2. Interventions for the resilience, the enhancement of the territory and the
energy efficiency of the Municipalities
This measure shall primarily aim to address the geological-hydraulic risks in urban and metropolitan areas. Those risks relate to floods, erosion or instability of buildings, causing major deterioration inter alia in the building stock, in the underground service networks and in the road network.
The measure shall include a varied set of interventions in urban and metropolitan areas aimed at reducing the vulnerability to hydrogeological risks. The core of the planned interventions shall consist of making buildings safer against seismic and hydrogeological risks and shall also include actions in relation to climate change adaptation and to energy efficiency such as reducing energy consumption of buildings or making public lighting systems more efficient.
The interventions shall consist of either small or medium public works depending on the financial amount at stake and the type of actions to be implemented. The former shall primarily relate to safety of schools, public buildings and municipal heritage, removal of architectural barriers and upgrades of the environment and landscape. The small public works shall have energy efficiency interventions as a horizontal objective. As regards medium public works, the interventions shall be primarily targeted to investments in reducing hydrogeological risk and ensuring the safety of roads, bridges and viaducts even though there shall also be actions in the areas outlined for the small works.
It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). It includes gas-condensing boilers, which shall not be eligible for the interventions under this measure.
Investment 3.1: Protection and enhancement of urban and peri-urban forests
This measure aims to protect green areas and increase their number with the objective of both preserving and enhancing biodiversity and increasing the quality of life of the inhabitants of those areas. The actions shall concentrate on the 14 metropolitan cities of Italy, which are the most exposed to environmental problems like air pollution, loss of biodiversity or to the effects of climate change. At least 6 600 000 trees (in 6.600 hectares) shall be planted in those areas.
The interventions shall follow the adoption of an urban forestation plan with the objectives of preserving and enhancing biodiversity in line with the European Biodiversity Strategy, reducing air pollution in metropolitan areas, bringing the number air quality infringement procedures down.
Investment 3.3- Re-naturification of the Po area
The Po Area is characterised by an excessive pollution of water, consumption of soil and excavations in the bed of river since 1970. All those problems have negatively affected some of its natural habitats and have increased hydrogeological risk.
This measure aims to reactivate natural processes and encourage the recovery of biodiversity. This would ensure the restoration of the river and a more efficient sustainable and efficient use of water resources.
Investment 3.4: Remediation of orphan sites
Industrial pollution has created many so-called ‘orphan sites’, which pose a risk significant for health, with severe implications for the quality of life of the populations concerned.
The aim of this intervention is to restore these lands reducing the environmental impact and promoting the circular economy. The project shall use the best available innovative investigation technologies to identify the real needs for remediation and enable the development of those areas, including for housing.
This measure shall first consist of the adoption of an Action Plan for the revitalisation of orphan sites to reduce land take and enhance urban regeneration. The Plan shall identify the orphan sites in all 21 regions and autonomous provinces and shall identify the specific interventions to be undertaken.
Investment 3.5: Restoration and protection of seabed and marine habitats
This measure includes large-scale actions for the restoration and protection of the seabed and the marine habitats, aimed at reversing the ongoing degradation of these ecosystems.
The specific actions to be implemented shall include the development of an adequate mapping of seafloor habitats and environmental monitoring. In order to ensure the adequate planning and implementation of large scale restoration and protection measures, the national research and observation system for marine and coastal ecosystems shall be strengthened. In addition, marine observation platforms shall be enhanced to increase the technical-scientific capacity to monitor the marine environment, and in particular to assess the effectiveness of protection and management measures under the climate change scenario. Such investments shall then enable a systematic and comprehensive mapping of sensitive habitats in Italian marine waters, to implement environmental restoration and the designation of protected areas, in line with the 2013 EU Biodiversity Strategy and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). By conducting research activities on marine ecosystems, the measure entails the purchase of scientific equipment and vessels. In particular, the newly constructed vessels will use the most advanced technologies available, ensuring to the maximum extent possible, pollution prevention and control.
Reform 4.1 Simplification of legislation and strengthening of governance for the implementation of investments in the water supply infrastructures
The current regulatory framework and the existing fragmentation in the management has a negative impact on the capacity for planning and implementing investments in water supply infrastructures.
The objective of this reform is to simplify and make more effective the legal framework and provide assistance when necessary to the implementing bodies with insufficient capacity to undertake and complete those investments within the timelines set originally.
The main measures planned to achieve those objectives are mainly through (i) the establishment of a central public financing instrument for investments in the water sector which unifies resources which are rather scattered at present; (ii) simplifying the procedures for reporting and monitoring of the investments financed, (iii) further involving of the Regulator in the planning of the investments to be undertaken and in possible revisions to the plan.
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport shall present the reform proposal relating to the water supply sector.
Investment 4.1 Primary water infrastructure for the security of water supply
The aim of this measure is to ensure the security of water supply for important urban areas and large irrigated areas, to increase safety and resilience of the network, and to improve the transport capacity of water. The measures shall cover the entire national territory, with a particular focus on larger installations in the South of the country.
It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, for each sub-investment, full compliance with the requirements of EU law, including the Water Framework Directive, shall be ensured before, during and after the commencement of the construction works. Further, the measure is subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) pursuant to Directive 2011/92 i/EU, as well as relevant assessments in the context of Directive 2000/60/EC i and Directive 92/43/EEC i, including the implementation of required mitigation measures. The impact of the dam would be evaluated against a scenario where the concerned river remains in its natural state rather than considering a different possible alternative use of the area.
Investment 4.2. Reduction of losses in water distribution networks, including digitization and monitoring of networks
The fragmented and inefficient management of water resources has led to significant leakages of water, with average losses above 40% and over 50% in the South of the country. The objective of this project is to significantly reduce losses in drinking water by upgrading and modernising water distribution networks through advanced control systems that allow monitoring the main nodes and the most sensitive points of the network.
Investment 4.3. Investments in the resilience of the irrigation agrosystem for better
management of water resources
The aim of this measure is to increase efficiency of irrigation systems through the development of innovative and digitalised infrastructure for a more sustainable agricultural sector ass well as better adapted to climate change.
The investment shall mostly consist of the conversion of irrigation systems towards higher efficiency systems; the adaptation of distribution networks in order to reduce losses; the installation of technologies for an efficient use of water resources, such as meters and remote control. For each intervention on distribution networks, water metering enabling measurement of water use must be in place or must be put in place as part of the supported investment. In addition, monitoring systems of Wastewater Treatment Plans (WWTPs) with potential for irrigation reuse shall be implemented. The measure does not directly provide for interventions on the re-use of reclaimed water but aims to support mapping and the identification of those WWTPs that are suitable for the production of treated wastewater for agricultural uses or that may become so with appropriate investments. This identification shall take into account the characteristics of the WWTPs but also the proximity to irrigable crops with treated wastewater and the required quality characteristics.
It is expected that this measure does not do significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measure and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01). In particular, for each sub-investment, full compliance with the requirements of EU law, including the Water Framework Directive, shall be ensured before, during and after the commencement of the construction works. Further, the measure is subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) pursuant to Directive 2011/92 i/EU, as well as relevant assessments in the context of Directive 2000/60/EC i and Directive 92/43/EEC i, including the implementation of required mitigation measures.
Investment 4.4. Sewerage and purification
The water systems present major weaknesses as regards sewerage and purification systems, which is reflected in a high number of infringement procedures for non-compliance with Union law of many agglomerations in the country.
The objective of this measure is to undertake investments which make the purification of wastewater discharged into marine and inland waters more effective and, where possible, transform purification plants into “green factories” for the reuse of purified wastewater for irrigation and industrial purposes. These investments are expected contribute to reducing the number of agglomerations with weak sewerage and purification systems.

I.MISSION 3 COMPONENT 2- Intermodality and integrated logistics
The objective of this component of the Italian recovery and resilience plan is to make Italian ports more efficient and competitive, more energy efficient and better integrated to the logistic chain. It also aims to digitalise the air traffic management system.
For that purpose, it includes on one hand important reforms to simplify processes, to update the port planning and to make concessions in Italian ports more competitive. On the other some investments designed to ensure intermodality with the broad lines of European communication developing links with ocean and inter-Mediterranean trafficking, increasing dynamism and the competitiveness of the Italian port system, also with a view to reducing greenhouse emissions. The investments linked to this component are expected to substantially increase passenger and freight volumes in Italian ports with a positive effect on the stimulating economic activities in the respective areas and on the national economy as a whole.
On the other hand, this component relates to the digitalisation of logistics systems, including airport systems. It is expected to make these sectors more competitive by using innovative technological solutions to make the system more efficient and also to reduce their environmental impact.
This component addresses the 2019 country-specific recommendation 3 urging Italy to ‘Focus investment-related economic policy on […] the quality of infrastructure’ and the 2020 countryspecific recommendation 3 recommending to ‘Focus investment on the green and digital transition, in particular on clean and efficient production and use of energy, research and innovation, sustainable public transport, waste and water management as well as reinforced digital infrastructure to ensure the provision of essential services’.
It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).
I.1. Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support
Reform 1.1- Simplification of procedures for the strategic planning process
This measure envisages the update of port planning to ensure a strategic vision of the Italian ports
system. The reform shall regulate as a minimum the (i) the development objectives of the port system authorities; (ii) the areas identified and outlined intended for strictly port and rear-port functions, (iii) the last-mile infrastructural connections of road and rail with ports, (iv) the criteria followed in identifying the contents of the planning and (v) it shall make an unambiguous
identification of the guidelines, the rules and the procedures for the preparation of the port regulatory plans.
Reform 1.2- Competitive award of concessions in Italian ports
The aim of this measure is to define conditions relating to the duration of the concession, the supervisory and control powers of the granting authorities, the renewal procedures, the transfer of the facilities to the new concessionaire at the end of the concession and the identification of the minimum limits of the fees charged to the concessionaires.
Reform 1.3- Simplification of authorisations for procedures of authorisation of cold ironing in Italian ports
This measure is expected to simplify and reduce the authorization procedure concerning construction of the National Electricity Transmission Network plants to power the distribution systems for the supply of electricity to ships (cold ironing).
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport shall make a proposal to streamline the authorization process. In particular, it shall be proposed to have the cold ironing projects evaluated by the territorial offices that report to the Ministry of Economic Development, which could, in a shorter time, study the projects and consequently authorize them. Moreover, in terms a regulatory intervention shall be envisaged to identify a single authorization process for projects involving a voltage higher than 132 kV and the rest, in order to exploit the process synergies.
Reform 2.1: Implementation of a Single Customs Window (“Sportello Unico Doganale”)
The objective is to create a dedicated portal for the Single Control Desk, which shall enable interoperability with national databases and coordination of control activities by customs.
Investment 2.2: Digitalization of air traffic management
This investment aims at the digital upgrade of the sector that shall cover both the development of new tools for the digitisation of aeronautical information and the implementation of unmanned aircraft platforms and services.

Reform 1.4: Reform of the “Orientation" system
The reform aims at introducing orientation modules (at least 30 hours per year) for the fourth and fifth classes of upper secondary school. The main objective is to support students in taking an informed choice between continuing their studies or further vocational training (ITS), prior to their integration into the labour market. The reform also envisages the creation of a digital orientation platform, related to the tertiary educational offer of Universities and Vocational Training Institutes
(ITS).
Investment 1.6: Active orientation in school-university transition
The measure aims to facilitate and encourage the transition from upper secondary to university and to reduce the number of university dropouts, thus helping to increase the number of graduates. The investment is expected to raise success indicators (school attendance, improving learning levels, number of students admitted to the next academic year, etc.) and to reduce gender gaps, both in terms of employment and participation in higher education in all fields.
This initiative envisages the provision of courses to all students at high schools, starting from the third years, to support them in the choice of tertiary education, facilitating a better fit between preparation and vocational track, and helping students getting oriented in the school-university transition. Lectures shall be delivered by higher education professors and delivered to students in the third, fourth and fifth year of higher secondary school. Sustainability shall be achieved by extending training to high-school professors such that, following this three-year program, orientation shall be available with the internal staff of high schools.
Investment 1.7: Scholarships for University access
The objective of the measure is to ensure equal access to education, by easing access to tertiary education for students in socio-economic difficulties and with a relatively high opportunity cost of advanced studies against an early transition on the labour market. In particular this is expected to be achieved through:
-
-scholarships increase by 700 euros, up to 4 000 euros (on average) per student;
-
-scholarships funding for a larger number of students, thus significantly reducing the gap with the EU average share of students with a grant (around 25% against just 12 currently registered in Italy), despite the planned increase in the enrolment and retention rates in Italy.
Reform 1.5: University Degree groups reforms
The reform envisages the update of university curricula, reducing the existing rigid boundaries which severely limit the possibility of creating cross-disciplinary paths. The reform is also expected to expand the possibility to implement vocational training programs by introducing innovative joboriented degree classes .

Reform 1.7: Reform of student housing regulation and investment in student housing
The reform has the objective of encouraging private entities to set up student accommodation facilities, with the Ministry of University and Research contributing for a portion of the renting revenues for the first three years of operation of the structures. The aim is to triple available places for out-of-school students from 40 thousand to over 100 thousand by 2026.
The envisaged investment aims at ensuring a widespread access to housing facilities so that a reasonable number of students may afford advanced education in their preferred field and location regardless of their socio-economic background. It aims to add 65,500 of sleeping accommodations to the current 40,000, thus significantly reducing Italy's gap with the EU average regarding the share of students provided with housing facilities (18% against the current 3% in Italy). The investment shall not include the procurement of natural gas boilers.

L.MISSION 5 COMPONENT 1: Employment policy
The measures under this component of the Italian recovery and resilience plan introduce a comprehensive and integrated reform of active labour market policies (ALMPs) and vocational training. Strengthening ALMPs and improving the capacity building of public employment services
(PES), including their integration with education and training providers and private operators, are expected to increase services’ efficacy. In addition, the measures of this component aim at reducing social vulnerabilities to shocks, in particular by tackling undeclared work in all its forms and sectors by setting more effective sanctions along with stronger incentives to work legally. Furthermore, this component promotes gender equality (equal pay) through the gender equality certification system. It also invests in young people by increasing the quantity and quality of training programmes, for instance, through the participation to the Universal Civil Service programme.
The implementation of these measures is expected to contribute addressing the challenges covered by the 2020 country-specific recommendation 2 on labour market urging Italy to “Mitigate the employment impact of the crisis, including through […] active support to employment”, the 2020 country-specific recommendation 2 to “support skills (…) including digital ones”, the 2019 country-specific recommendation 2 to “step up efforts to tackle undeclared work, ensure that active labour market and social policies (…) reach out notably to young people and vulnerable groups.
Support women’s participation to the labour market”, and the 2019 country-specific recommendation 2 to “foster up-skilling, including by strengthening digital skills”.

M.MISSION 5 COMPONENT 2: Social infrastructures, families, communities and third sector
The planned reforms and investments included in this component aim at strengthening resilience by supporting the integration and inclusion of the most vulnerable, along individual, family and social dimensions. This component provides a national strategy for the active inclusion of vulnerable population groups. The objectives of this component are (I) strengthening the role for integrated social services to support families, minors and adolescents, to support parenting skills and protect vulnerable families as well as persons with disabilities, including through the enhancement of social infrastructures involving the third sector. (II) Improving the autonomy of people with disabilities, by providing community and home-based social and health services and removing barriers to accessing housing and job opportunities. (III) Improving the inclusion of people in extreme marginalization and housing deprivation (e.g. homeless people) through a wider offer of temporary accommodation assistance facilities and services, personalized paths towards autonomy and personal resilience. (IV) strengthening the availability of more affordable public and private housing and urban and territorial regeneration. (V) developing the resilience capacity of the most vulnerable through the dissemination of the culture of sport and the setup of sports infrastructures through the creation of urban parks where sports activities may be combined with entertainment activities for the benefit of the communities.
The implementation of these measures is expected to contribute addressing the challenges covered by the 2019 country-specific recommendations 2 on social policy urging Italy to “ensure that […] social policies are effectively integrated and reach out notably to young people and vulnerable groups” and by the 2020 country-specific recommendations 2 to “provide adequate (…) access to social protection”.
M.1. Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support
Reform 1 - Framework Law for Disability
The main objective of the reform is to modify the legislation on disabilities and promote the deinstitutionalization (i.e., transfer from public or private institutions to their families or into community-based homes) and autonomy of people with disabilities. This shall entail (I) strengthening the offer of social services, (II) simplifying access to social and health services, (III) reforms of disability assessments, (IV) promoting independent living projects, (V) promoting the work of teams of experts that may support people with disabilities with multidimensional needs.
Reform 2 – Reform for non-self-sufficient elderly persons
The objective of this measure is to reform social services and improving the living conditions of non-self-sufficient elderly people. This reform shall include: (I) simplifying older people’s access to services through the creation of single points of social and health access, (II) identifying ways of recognizing non-self-sufficiency based on the need for assistance, (III) providing a multidimensional assessment, (IV) defining individualized projects that promote deinstitutionalization. This reform is anticipated by specific interventions envisaged by the Plan, included both in the health mission (M6), with reference to projects that strengthen local health services and home care, and in this component, with specific reference to the investment 1, intervention II aimed at the de-institutionalisation.
Investment 1 - Supporting vulnerable people and preventing institutionalization
The objective of this measure is to support vulnerable people and preventing institutionalisation. This investment shall include the following interventions: (I) supporting parenting skills and preventing vulnerability of families and children. (II) supporting an autonomous life and deinstitutionalisation for elderly people. (II) reinforcing home social services to guarantee early supported discharge and prevent hospitalization. (III) strengthening social services and preventing burnout among social workers.
Investment 2 - Autonomy patterns for people with disabilities
The objective of this measure is to increase the autonomy of people with disabilities. The scope of the investment is to accelerate the process of de-institutionalization by providing community and home-based social and health services in order to improve the autonomy of people with disabilities.
The measure shall promote access to housing and job opportunities, including new possibilities offered by information technology.
Investment 3 - Housing First and Post Stations
The objective of this measure is to protect and support the inclusion of marginalised people through housing first and post stations. The introduction of the ‘housing first’ approach means that municipalities shall make flats available for single individuals, small groups or families up to 24 months. In addition to this, customised projects shall be activated for each single person/family in order to implement personal growth development programmes and to help them achieve a higher degree of autonomy, also by providing them with training and with other services aimed at improving their employability level. On the other hand, the implementation of ‘post stations’ means the creation of service and inclusion centre for homeless people. Such centres shall offer, besides a limited night reception, important amenities such as health services, catering, post distribution, cultural mediation, counselling, job orientation, legal consulting, and goods distribution among others.

N.MISSION 5 COMPONENT 3: Special interventions for territorial cohesion
This component of the recovery and resilience plan includes two intervention areas: i) Plan for the resilience of internal, peripheral and mountain areas; ii) Projects for the development of the
South, including investments to tackle educational poverty, the enhancement of assets confiscated from organised crime and infrastructural investment in Special Economic Zones.
These measures aim at tackling the territorial divide in three domains: demographics and services; skill development; investment.
The investments and the reforms under this component shall contribute addressing the country specific recommendations addressed to Italy in 2019 and 2020 on the need to “Focus investmentrelated economic policy on research and innovation, and the quality of infrastructure, taking into account regional disparities” (country specific recommendation 2019.3); “improve educational
outcomes” (country specific recommendation 2019.2); “Strengthen the resilience and capacity of the health system […]” (country specific recommendation 2020.1); “ensure adequate […] and access to social protection” (country specific recommendation 2020.2).
N.1. Description of the reforms and investments for non-repayable financial support
Investment 1. Inner Areas – 1. Enhancement of community social services and infrastructures
The intervention aims at tackling the issues of social exclusion and marginalisation, by intensifying the provision of services through the increase of funds for public services delivered by the local authorities (the delivery mechanism consists in providing grants to the municipalities). Financed projects may concern: home care services for the elderly; community nurses and midwives; strengthening of small hospitals (those without first aid) or some basic services (i.e. radiology, cardiology, gynaecology) and outpatient centres; infrastructures for helicopter rescue; strengthening centres for the disabled; counselling centres, cultural services, sports services and migrant reception. The intervention shall envisage either the creation of new services and infrastructures or the improvement of existing ones through an increase in the number of recipients or in the quality of supply.
In order to ensure that the measure complies with the ‘Do no significant harm’ Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01), the eligibility criteria contained in terms of reference for upcoming calls for projects shall exclude the following list of activities: (i) activities related to fossil fuels, including downstream use 83 ; (ii) activities under the EU Emission Trading System (ETS) achieving projected greenhouse gas emissions that are not lower than the relevant benchmarks 84 ;

This measure, complementary to European cohesion policy, shall give immediate support to subsidized rural pharmacies that during the Covid-19 emergency, have been a fundamental point of reference for the local population. By consolidating their role in providing health facilities, pharmacies can keep being a central element of community life, bringing healthcare as close as possible to citizens. In detail, these pharmacies are expected to strengthen their role by: (i) taking part in the integrated home assistance service; (ii) providing second-level services, in accordance with diagnostic-therapeutic paths envisaged for specific pathologies; (iii) dispensing drugs that the patient is now forced to collect in the hospital; (iv) monitoring the patient with the Electronic
Health Record and the Pharmaceutical Dossier.
Investment 2: Enhancement of assets confiscated from organised crime

At the same time, the project is expected to ensure greater wealth and employment opportunities in the regions of Southern Italy, in compliance with legality and social justice.
The enhancement of confiscated assets shall be devoted to one of the following purposes: the creation of facilities, social/health residences, day centres, social co-housing as to support the housing/social inclusion of people living in conditions of exclusion (people at risk of poverty, homeless, victims of violence, elderly, persons with disabilities, Roma); the regeneration of public spaces aimed at improving social services to citizens (nursery schools, leisure centres, socio-educational services for early childhood, day centres for minors, gyms, labs); the creation of socio-cultural gathering spaces for young people managed by voluntary associations (libraries, spaces for music and other community activities); as the use of assets as barracks, police stations, civil protection as to promote legality and territorial security. This investment is synergic to other EU funds. The interventions on assets confiscated will be awarded by the notification of public contracts.

O.MISSION 6 COMPONENT 1: Proximity networks, facilities and telemedicine for territorial healthcare assistance
The objective of this component is to strengthen the Italian National Health Service (NHS) by inter alia enhancing the protection against environmental and climate-change related health risks and better responding to the communities’ needs regarding local care and assistance.
Local healthcare assistance is fragmented and subject to regional disparities that result in different levels of healthcare provisions and health outcomes across regions. The provision of integrated home care services is considered to be low, and the different healthcare and social service providers are considered to be only weakly integrated. Moreover, the capacity of the
Italian National Health Service (NHS) to address health risks related to environmental exposure and climate change has been tested by several environmental crisis and emergencies that highlighted the challenges due to a lack of sufficient prevention actions. The objective of this component of the Italian recovery and resilience plan is to strengthen the Italian National
Health Service (NHS) by inter alia enhancing the protection against environmental and climate-change related health risks and better responding to the communities’ needs regarding local care and assistance.
The investments and reforms of this component shall contribute addressing the countryspecific recommendations addressed to Italy in 2019 and 2020 on the need to “focus investment-related economic policy on research and innovation, and the quality of infrastructure, taking into account regional disparities (country-specific recommendation 3,
2019), “strengthen the resilience and capacity of the health system, in the areas of health workers, critical medical products and infrastructure” (country-specific recommendation 1,
2020) and to “focus investment on the green and digital transition, in particular on […] reinforced digital infrastructure to ensure the provision of essential services” (country-specific recommendation 3, 2020).

homogeneous, consistent, and portable across the national territory. The EHR shall perform three core functions: first it shall empower healthcare professionals by allowing
them to count on the same source of clinical information detailing the entire medical history of a patient; second, it shall become the access point of citizens and patients to the
fundamental services provided by the National and Regional healthcare systems; third, healthcare administrations shall be empowered to use the clinical data to perform health
analytics and improve healthcare delivery. 2. Strengthen the infrastructure and the technological and analytics instruments of the
Ministry of Health to monitor the Essential Levels of Assistance (LEA, i.e. the services guaranteed by the NHS nationwide) and plan healthcare assistance and services in line with population needs and evolution on demographic, innovation and epidemiology trends. This key and primary objective of the Italian Ministry of Health is accomplished through the achievement of the following and integrating 4 sub-objectives: (i) strengthening of the infrastructure of the Italian Ministry of Health, integrating EHR clinical data with New Health Information System (NSIS) clinical, administrative and costs data and with the other information and data related to health in One-Health approach to monitor the ”LEA” and ensure health surveillance and vigilance activities; (ii) enhancement of the collection, processing and generation of NSIS data by local level, reengineering and standardizing the data generation regional and local process, in order to improve the NSIS tool for the measurement of quality, efficiency and appropriateness of the NHS; (iii) development of advanced analysis tools to assess complex phenomena and scenario prediction to improve the central capacity to plan healthcare service and detect emerging diseases; (iv) creation of a national platform where supply and demand of
telemedicine services from the accredited providers may meet.
Investment 2.2: Development of technical-professional, digital and managerial skills of professionals in the healthcare system.
This investment consists in increasing scholarships for the specific course in general medicine; launching a training plan on safety in terms of hospital infections for all NHS staff; activating a training path for personnel with top roles within NHS bodies in managerial and digital skills and financing specialized medical training contracts.

SECTION 3: ADDITIONAL ARRANGEMENTS
-
1.Arrangements for monitoring and implementation of the recovery and resilience plan
The monitoring and implementation of the recovery and resilience plan of Italy shall take place in accordance with the following arrangements.
As provided under Decree Law of 31 May 2021, n.77, a number of coordinating structures are to be created for the monitoring and implementation of the plan. These include in particular: (i) a steering committee (“cabina di regia”) established at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, with the main task to steer and coordinate the implementation of the plan; (ii) a consulting body for social dialogue, composed of representatives of social partners and other relevant stakeholders including local entities; (iii) a technical secretariat established at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, at least for the duration of the plan, to support the activities of the steering committee and of the consulting body; (iv) a regulatory unit established at the Department for Legal and Legislative Affairs of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, at least for the duration of the plan, tasked with the identification of implementation bottlenecks stemming from regulatory issues and the development of proposals for solutions, including as regards the revision and rationalization of regulatory dispositions; (v) a central coordination structure at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, empowered to perform the overall coordination and monitoring of the implementation of plan (including in relation to milestones and targets), the control of the regularity of procedures and expenses and the reporting, and the technical and operational support to the implementation phases. This centralised structure shall act as a single point of contact at national level for the European Commission. The Ministry of Economy and Finance also ensures the evaluation of the results of the plan. Moreover, coordination structures shall be identified at the level of each central administration responsible for measures included in the plan, tasked with the management, monitoring, reporting and control on the relevant interventions, including in relation to the supervision of implementation and progress towards the achievement of milestones and targets. Finally, enforcement mechanisms in case of implementation issues, including through the activation of substitution powers vis-à-vis the administrations responsible for the measures of the plan, are envisaged with the aim to guarantee a timely and effective delivery of projects and ex-ante mechanisms for the resolution of conflicts are set to be put in place.
In order to strengthen administrative capacity for the monitoring and implementation, the recruitment of temporary personnel is envisaged, including in relation to central administrations responsible for plan’s interventions and the Ministry of Economy and Finance (including concerning the central coordinating structure and the State Accounting Department), as provided under Decree Law of 9 June 2021, n. 80, as well as in relation to administrations of the South of Italy, which are expected to reinforce human capital involved in the planning and spending of EU funds, as provided in particular under Law n. 178 of 2020. In addition, budgetary resources are to be allocated for the activation and functioning of the technical secretariat and the regulatory unit for rationalization and improvement of regulation established at the Presidency of the Council of Ministers. Finally, technical and operational support to central and local administrations is envisaged in the implementation of projects, including through the use of public capital companies, a pool of experts for technical assistance, and the possibility to resort to external expertise. These actions shall be accompanied by the implementation of measures to cut red tape and simplify administrative procedures, as provided for under Decree Law of 31 May 2021, n. 77.
The arrangements also provide for the set-up of a new integrated IT system (“ReGiS”) and the adaptation of the current systems until ReGiS becomes operational. The existing audit service Inspectorate General for Financial Relations with the European Union (IGRUE), within the Ministry of Economy and Finance, shall be tasked with the coordination of the audit systems and conducting the controls with the support of the State Territorial Accounts Office (RTS). Enhanced arrangements with Guardia di Finanza and relevant independent authorities such as the national anti-corruption agency ANAC shall be concluded, thus reinforcing the role that the Italian legal system already attributes to these authorities in relation to the protection of public finances, including those from the EU.

2.Arrangements for providing full access by the Commission to the underlying data
The Ministry of Economy and Finance, as the central coordinating body for Italy’s recovery and resilience plan and its implementation, is responsible for the overall coordination and monitoring of the plan. In particular, it acts as a coordinating body for monitoring, including on progress on milestones and targets, and, where appropriate, implementing control and audit activities, and for providing reporting and requests for payments. It coordinates the reporting of milestones and targets, relevant indicators, but also qualitative financial information and other data, such as on final recipients. The data encoding is taking place at the level of the central administrations responsible for the plan’s measures, which shall report the required data to the Ministry of Economy and Finance.
In accordance with Article 24(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241, upon completion of the relevant agreed milestones and targets in Section 2.1 of this Annex, Italy shall submit to the Commission a duly justified request for payment of the financial contribution and, where relevant, of the loan. Italy shall ensure that, upon request, the Commission has full access to the underlying relevant data that supports the due justification of the request for payment, both for the assessment of the request for payment in accordance with Article 24(3) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 and for audit and control purposes.
