Abstract
The ecological transition is not defined, neither in the times, neither in the modalities, neither in the object: what is instead clear is that an economic model finalized to the increase of the competitiveness, the occupation and also of green jobs. It is undoubtedly the framework within which the new objectives of the circular economy are located, which - although prima facie appears limited to the waste sector - foresees an epochal revolution in consumption, in the systems of production and trade of goods. Moreover, an ecological transition cannot be envisaged without an economic-social and cultural transition, also in line with the Agenda 2030 sustainable development objectives. In fact, all the pillars provided for by the NRRP must be based on an essential principle: "not to cause significant damage". As expressly provided by art. 5 of European Regulation No. 241 of 2021, Recovery and Resilience Facility, c.d. RRF, NRRP funding can only support measures that do not cause significant damage to the environment. All measures included in the NRRPs of each Member State, whether investment or reform, must comply with this criterion, also referred to by the acronym DNSH (Does Not Significantly Harm). The DNSH principle is linked to the basic choice, already launched before the pandemic, that supports the "European Green Deal". In fact, the first act of the green transition is the European Green Deal, issued in December 2019, well before the pandemic crisis. Within the framework of the NRRP, mission 2 "Green Revolution and Ecological Transition" aims to achieve the green and ecological transition of society and economy, to make the system "sustainable", while ensuring its competitiveness. Overall, EUR 59.33 billion is earmarked for Mission 2, but the large investments planned to help achieve the objective of ecological transition require significant regulatory reforms, aimed at simplifying procedures. In this sense we note the "decree simplifications", Law 11 September 2020, n. 120 "Urgent measures for simplification and digital innovation", which modifies the General Law on Administrative Procedure in several points, intervenes on deadlines, the rule of collaboration, the notice of rejection and the conference of services. Similarly, most recently in the "Aid Decree 2022", just approved by the Council of Ministers, energy measures are introduced in order to reduce the cost, further simplify the authorization procedures for the construction of new plants and enhance national energy production. However, simplification necessarily involves a tool for managing complexity. We therefore need to make prudent use of the policies of simplification and liberalisation, because the obvious risk is that, suddenly, without solid and coherent governance, they will turn into exactly the opposite.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
