Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's administration scrutinized the pact under "Golden Power" rules aimed at protecting assets deemed strategic for the country, at a time when relations between China and Western countries have entered a tenser phase.
Giorgia Meloni's Italian government on Monday approved the measure which targets the use of flight-pricing algorithms by airlines and bans their use for internal flights between the Italian mainland and Sicily and Sardinia, apart from in rare exceptions.
Our model shows how the number of secondary cases within the town increases with the time spent in the public, and also with the average household size (i.e. the quarantine unit). Looking at the extremes, for a six-person household and no community quarantine, we predicted 43 new infections over the 14 days period. In contrast, for a single-person household and complete community quarantine (no time outside of homes), no secondary cases were predicted over the 14 days period. The average household size in Italy is 2.58 according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) [12]. For an average household size of two persons with complete, near-complete, medium and no community quarantine (i.e. 0, 1, 5, and 10 hours respectively in the community), we predict 3, 4, 7 and 11 secondary infections during the lockdown. With an average three-person household size, 7, 8, 12 and 20 secondary infections are predicted, respectively. The average Italian household size 2.58 is thus in-between that of a two-person and three-person household size. With a six-person average household size, 16, 19, 29 and 43 secondary infections would be predicted to occur over the 14-days period, respectively.
Italy on Thursday announced national travel restrictions for the Christmas holidays designed to limit the spread of COVID-19 in the European country first hit by the pandemic. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1450190541376-1'); ); The new rules, together with an existing curfew and other regulations already in place, seek to curb circulation throughout the country during the festive period by limiting the number of gatherings.Earlier this year, a punishing lockdown of all Italy's 60 million residents helped bring the outbreak under control, but the government is trying to avoid missteps made over the summer after the lockdown lifted, when the return of vacationers fuelled a new rise in cases."If we let down our guard now, the third wave is just around the corner," Health Minister Roberto Speranza told parliament on Wednesday.Travel between Italy's regions will be prohibited from December 21 through January 6, with people barred from travelling outside their own towns on December 25, 26 and January 1.The decree includes the "strong recommendation" to avoid hosting those who do not live together.Other regulations set to be signed later on Thursday are expected to mandate a 10-day quarantine for those arriving in Italy from foreign countries, beginning on December 20.The move is in part designed to prevent Italians from travelling to ski slopes that are still open in neighbouring EU countries.The government is expected to retain a colour-coded risk-based system that imposes varying levels of anti-coronavirus restrictions on different regions.Bars and restaurants are expected to remain closed in regions in red or orange zones. A current 6 pm closure in yellow zones may remain, as may a nationwide 10 pm curfew.In yellow zones, where eateries are open but required to shut at 6 pm, the government is debating whether to allow restaurants to serve lunch on Christmas Day and December 26.Ski slopes are expected to be off-limits, as well as cruises.The health ministry reported 20,709 new cases on Wednesday and 684 deaths, bringing the cumulative toll to more than 1.6 million infections. 2020 AFP
In a statement, the transport ministry said the order signed by Salvini allows strikes between 09.00 and 13.00 on Friday "for the entire transport sector, with the exception of the aviation sector where the unions had already confirmed a change of heart".
"We wanted to find a balance between the right to strike and the right to work and mobility", Salvini wrote on X, claiming that the injunction "protects the rights of 20 million workers, citizens and commuters."
The move follows a war of words in recent days between Salvini and CGIL leader Maurizio Landini, and comes after the national strike watchdog urged the unions to limit their protest to avoid too much disruption.
VIENNA, 7 June 2005 - OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Miklos Haraszti said on Tuesday that new Italian media legislation introduced in 2004 had not significantly altered the unusually high concentration of ownership in the country's television industry.
"A year after the adoption of the Gasparri Law, I have not found any significant change in the unusually high concentration in the Italian TV market," he said, presenting a new report on pluralism in Italian television. "The publicly owned RAI and the privately owned Mediaset continue to control over 90 percent of all television revenues and audiences."
"The RAI-Mediaset duopoly has deprived the Italian audiences of an effective variety of sources of information and has thereby weakened the guarantees of pluralism. It has become politically aggravated by the fact that Prime Minister Berlusconi's family holding Fininvest is a major shareholder in Mediaset," Haraszti added.
The report was presented one year after the adoption of the Gasparri Law, Italy's first comprehensive regulation of all broadcast media, and the Frattini Law on the conflicts between public duty and private interests of officials.
The Gasparri Law was intended to increase competition in the TV market by fully switching Italy from analogue to digital terrestrial transmission (DTT).
The report said the law would undoubtedly encourage the creation of many new broadcasting channels.
Thanks to digitalisation, private broadcasting had ceased to be a concession by the State in Italy and was becoming more of an ordinary entrepreneurial business, just like newspaper publishing.
"That is a major step for the broadcast media on their way to true independence," Haraszti said. "However, despite its pioneering features and its modernising effect on the media market, the Gasparri Law will not be able to remedy the 'Italian anomaly' and de-monopolise television any time soon."
Instead of dealing directly with the present-day high concentrations, the law aims to achieve de-monopolisation indirectly, as a by-product of technological development in the distant future, when today's television markets will have developed in ways which no-one can predict today.
"The new law is likely to reproduce rather than eliminate the high concentration in television and the domination of RAI by politics," it said.
The report said Italy's comprehensive digital-era media legislation needed to be reviewed to correct provisions which maintain the present domination of television by two groups.
The issue of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's public office and his media holdings may have been settled in legal terms by the Frattini Law, but it remained a source of concern from the point of view of the quality of democracy as the chosen legal formula did not fully distance the Prime Minister from his media holdings.
"OSCE commitments oblige governments to proactively safeguard media pluralism," said the Representative on Freedom of the Media. "Conflicts of interest in the media need specific measures to strengthen public confidence in the fairness and transparency of political competition and government accountability."

The Italian Market is the popular name for the South 9th Street Curb Market, an area of South Philadelphia featuring awning covered sidewalks, curb carts, grocery shops, cafes, restaurants, bakeries, cheese shops, butcher shops, etc., many with an Italian influence. The historical heart of the market is the area of 9th Street between Christian Street and Washington Avenue,[1] the commercial district chartered in 1915, the South Ninth Street Business Men's Association, covered the area between Catharine to Federal and Eighth to Tenth streets,[2] and the market is now generally considered to extend from Fitzwater Street at the north to Wharton Street at the south. The term Italian Market is also used to generally describe the surrounding neighborhood between South Street to the North and Wharton Street to the South running a few blocks to the east and west of 9th street.
To curb overtourism, restrictions have also been placed on tourist spots in the region. Peak-season car access to Lago di Braies (a stunning glacial lake in the region) is by reservation only, and access to the Alpe di Siusi, which is a vast Alpine meadow, has also been restricted. The road up to the plateau is closed between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, and travellers must use public transport to get there. Residents and those with hotel reservations on the plateau are exempted from this rule. Further, restrictions may also affect day-trippers, as rules regulating them may also be put into place, apart from restricted access to tourism hotspots.
Milan's taxis sat idle for a fifth straight day Wednesday to protest competition from the ride-hailing app Uber, a high-tech challenge that has Europe weighing its consumer benefits versus its threat to old business models. googletag.cmd.push(function() googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1449240174198-2'); ); Uber, a San Francisco start-up, has been banned in Brussels and faces court scrutiny in Berlin. Milan's 5,000 taxi drivers sought similar curbs as they lobbied Italy's transport minister, but at the end of Wednesday's meeting, he told them bluntly to get back to work.Since the arrival of Uber over the past 18 months, taxi drivers across the continent have been adamant about protecting their turf from the mobile app. It allows consumers to book a ride over a mobile device, breaking free of rigid fare structures criticized as protectionist.In Paris, drivers for private car services, including Uber, had their vehicles vandalized when they kept operating during a taxi strike. And in Spain, the National Taxi Federation has called for Uber to be banned, saying it was putting 100,000 jobs at risk.Alfonso Faccioli, a leader of the Milan wildcat protests, said Uber represents unfair competition to taxi drivers, who can pay up to 160,000 euros ($220,000) for a license."We are fighting to defend our livelihoods," he said at a protest at the taxi stands outside Milan's train station. Taxi drivers protest in Milan, Italy, Wednesday, May 21, 2014. Milan's taxis have been idle for five days to protest the ride-hailing app Uber, the latest European challenge to a technological advance against old business models. Uber, a San Francisco startup, has been banned in Brussels and is under court scrutiny in Berlin.

(AP Photo/Federico Ferramola, Lapresse) The European Commission begs to differ. Its commissioner for digital technology issues, Neelie Kroes, has expressed outrage at the Brussels court decision to ban Uber and impose 10,000-euro ($13,700) fines for offenders. She said the judgment seeks to protect cartel-like taxi services and is impractical to enforce."Are the police now going to spy on our phones to see when we are making Uber bookings? Don't you think the police in Brussels have something better to do?" she said.Paolo Beria, a professor of transportation economics at Milan's Polytechnical University, said taxi drivers in Italy so far have been successful in slowing market reforms. He said they have maintained relatively high fares and restricted the number of licenses, which ensures a high resale value on them. But they may now have met their match in Uber.Beria said Uber's technology would be "more difficult to stop" because it is so easy to deploy and use.Kroes said her staff has used the service worldwide and loves it for its cost, convenience and safety. She said authorities should work with Uber to make sure they "pay taxes, follow the rules and protect consumers," rather than banning the service. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle []).push(); Two of Uber's subsidiaries, Uber Limo and Uber Pop, face other European-wide criticisms for distinct reasons. Limo uses drivers who are licensed to carry private passengers, but unionized tax drivers in several EU nations complain that the Uber Limo vehicles fail to follow their industry's rule that limosines should operate from a fixed base, not roam freely looking for business.Beria said Uber Limo should promote competition and lower fares. He said Uber Pop's business model was more controversial, because it allows any driver to offer an ad-hoc taxi service without a professional license, creating a potential pool of unregulated and possibly illegal drivers.After Wednesday's meeting with cabbies in Milan, Italian Transport Minister Maurizio Lupi said authorities would ensure that Uber Limo operated within prevailing laws, but whoever offered Uber Pop services would be deemed to be working illegally. 2014 The Associated Press.
