MILAN (ITALPRESS) – A change of pace to strengthen the Italian productive fabric and its competitiveness. This is the invitation addressed to the government by Francesco Mutti, president of Centromarca, interviewed by Luciano Fontana, editor of Corriere della Sera, at the web conference Legality and competition for the future of the country. «It’s time to start a new cycle – says Mutti – Businesses ask for fewer rules, simpler and more stable over time. We need to speed up the timing of justice. Whoever does not respect the laws distorts competition, which is fundamental for the restart of the economies hit by Covid-19 ». At the first meeting of the cycle The values of the Brand, promoted by Centromarca in collaboration with Corriere della Sera, several speakers took part, moderated by Daniela Manca, deputy director of Corriere della Sera. Mauro Magatti, sociologist of the Catholic University of Milan, stressed that “legality is an indispensable element to make possible the complex game of an advanced society. All the more so today in the delicate phase of the pandemic and post-pandemic. But it is essential that legality and rules are an expression of the responsibility of all subjects: public, private, collective and individual ». Massimiliano Valerii, director of Censis, emphasized the “case of Italy”: «For 91% of entrepreneurs, corruption is an endemic phenomenon, compared to 63% of European countries. It is important to explicitly bring out the conflict of interest between the advantage of the few who transgress the rules and the damage suffered by the entire system due to the distortion of competition. The Recovery Plan must include legality, a fundamental cornerstone for equitable and inclusive growth ». Paola Severino, vice president Luiss Guido Carli, remarked that «the functioning of justice is a powerful factor in the development of the economic system. Specialization, efficiency and new technologies should be the three keywords of a modern justice that is attentive to the needs of citizens. Competition between countries now also passes through competition between legal systems that are able to ensure legality, speed and certainty of judicial decisions as a prerequisite for economic development ». In his speech, Roberto Rustichelli, president of the Competition and Market Authority, after focusing on the relationship between the protection of free competition and industrial property rights to guarantee the collective well-being and sustainability of the system, spoke of the need for reconcile the demands of free competition and the protection of innovation. This is an issue that concerns not only the matter of trademarks but also that of patents as in the case of vaccines. “Our Industrial Property Code”, he underlined, “in articles 141 and 142, provides for the possibility of a rapid intervention through the DPR with which the ownership or use of the patent is expropriated for reasons of public utility, upon payment an appropriate compensation. Any limits, even territorial ones, can be overcome through the provisions of Article 31 of the TRIPS Agreement (1994). Therefore, the legal possibility of producing vaccines already exists today in our legal system, guaranteeing not only public health, but also equality in access to vaccines provided for by Article 3 of the Constitution ”.
