Representation of Interests and Parliament

Abstract

News has come from Rome that the problem of customs duties is gradually being solved. Under the auspices of the Ministry of Industry, a meeting has taken place between four representatives of the general confederation of industry, four representatives of the chamber of commerce and four representatives of the national secretariat for agriculture. Press releases are also reporting that although the debate was, to say the least, very lively, the Minister has not lost hope of being able to broker an agreement between the representatives of industry, trade and agriculture, in such a way as to draw up and approve by Royal decree a provisional tariff framework that can express the joint intentions of the interested parties.
