spa services and fire brigade ...

The new company that would arise following the reorganization of the Civil Protection Department should be called "Civil Defense spa services, placed under the supervision of the Prime Minister. The constitution of society is given in the last draft of the decree which will be closed during major emergencies (Campania, Abruzzo, Messina). The text also proposes an idea that on other occasions in the past had been considered by other governments: - compulsory insurance against natural disasters, like a tax payable by all property owners. The objective of the reform is to concentrate the force of the Department, which since January 1, 2010, will be without Guido Bertolaso, on his mission natural - disaster prevention and emergency relief. Everything else should be given to more suitable facilities.
Civil Defence would thus be directly responsible to the President of the Council of Ministers, although it remains to understand how to conciliate the speed of the practices with the European rules on public procurement. But | the Civil Defense, at least from a legal point of view, could soon become reality. View the draft decree-law. Although Finance Minister Giulio Tremonti, is still not convinced, in the case will have to find sufficient financial resources, but soon a piece of the state will be converted into business. | |

" Or: "According to the operational guidelines issued by the President of the Council of Ministers upon proposal of the Head of Department." And then, according to this hypothesis, since December is Berlusconi who decides. The decree will be approved later this year. For months he speaks, nobody, however, had proposed a debate. "This forecast will lead to the outsourcing of almost all activities Civil Protection, with negative effects on transparency and traceability of the tender on forecasting and disaster prevention by involving all the national territory and exclude from direct control over the territory in the first instance of the mayors, the only protection authorities recognized by civil law, and the regions and provinces, while in the current department head of emergency management tasks remain and planning " not only a new company: - The decree also provides for new managers, made for automatic promotion from the lower grades. And in this new scenario which will be the location of the National of firefighters? probably increasingly marginalized from the tasks of civil protection. Perhaps it would be better  .
