Il Presidente del Consiglio

The sixth visit by the European Commission to discuss in detail the next stages of implementation of Italy’s NRRP (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) is planned from today until Thursday 24 October. Around forty working groups will be held, focusing on the Plan’s strategic measures, the new REPowerEU mission, and the progress of reforms and investments. The meetings will closely examine the milestones and targets for the seventh instalment and for the last three instalments of Italy’s NRRP, while  the verification phase is finalised regarding the milestones and targets for the sixth instalment in order to allow its disbursement.

The President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, received His Highness the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, at Villa Doria Pamphilj in Rome today, as part of the Emir’s State Visit to Italy. Their discussions focused on the situation in the Middle East. President Meloni shared the outcomes of her recent trips to Jordan and Lebanon with her guest, confirming Italy’s support for the mediation being carried out by Qatar, together with Egypt and the United States, to reach an agreement in Gaza.

I wish to thank the Guardia di Finanza [Italian Finance Police] in Crotone, the SCICO [Central Organised Crime Investigation Service] and the DDA [District Anti-Mafia Directorate] of Catanzaro for their outstanding operation which has led to the dismantling of an international criminal organisation engaged in human trafficking and money laundering. It is a top priority to combat those who exploit people’s legitimate desire to find better living conditions in order to make huge profits for themselves. The Government is determined to take down these criminal networks and to stamp out the illegal trafficking of human beings, which feeds the interests of the slave traders of the third millennium.

Ringrazio la Guardia di Finanza di Crotone, lo Scico e la Dda di Catanzaro per la brillante operazione che ha portato allo smantellamento di un’organizzazione criminale internazionale dedita al traffico di esseri umani e al riciclaggio di denaro. È una priorità assoluta combattere chi sfrutta il legittimo desiderio delle persone di trovare condizioni di vita più favorevoli per ingrassare i propri profitti. Il Governo è determinato a smantellare queste reti criminali e a debellare il traffico illegale di esseri umani, che alimenta gli interessi degli schiavisti del Terzo Millennio.
