Balneari, braccio di ferro con l’Ue sugli indennizzi

🏖️ Italian Minister Matteo Salvini is negotiating with the EU on compensation for outgoing beach concessionaires, aiming for "real compensation, not handouts." The EU expressed concerns that high compensation could deter participants in future tenders, as stated by the Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW). The EU insists only assets strictly necessary for service provision be indemnifiable, excluding company value, goodwill, trademarks, and patents. All illegal structures, permanent fixtures (except those essential for service or difficult to remove), and investments in removable structures are also excluded from compensation calculations.
