In Italy today's economic situation was the result of historical changes in economic and social substratum of accidents in the country, which led the State to put in place measures to rationalize the system of intermediation between supply and demand work . If for a period Tutt 'nothing but short, government intervention in the labor market has characterized the encounter between supply and demand by the public monopoly on placement (which was the cause of the conviction of 11 December 1997 by the European Court of Justice), the picture of employment services has changed as a result of liberalization labor market, because access to the management of private job placement services. Thus failed (with no desire to commemorate), one of the basic lines of the system of law Fanfani of 1949 (which captures the archetype in the fascist period and remained in force until the nineties), or the exclusive possession in the management of the placement: the package Treu before (with the regulation of temporary work) and the Montagues after the decree (with "the contribution to the regions and local government functions and duties related to employment and labor policies, in 'context of a general role of guidance, promotion and coordination of the State ") have signed inextricably rethinking the use of the system. The turning point in the process of organic arrangement of the placement, however, is found in the Biagi law (which was followed by the Legislative Decree . 276/03), which has the merit of having reorganized the labor market (through to which, among other things, new subjects have been legitimized acting as an agent of labor). But what strategy is designed in the agreement of July 23 last year, signed by the Government and social partners in relation to employment services? "The reform strategy is based on additions and changes to the legislative decree 276/2003 - reads the text of the agreement - and the expansion of public services that are a focal point of the reform of social safety nets in the sense proactive. The operation of public employment services will also be strengthened with the running of the system, the communication prior to recruitment and review of administrative procedures. " And again: "The procedures for transmission of data relevant to the overall management of the labor market among all the actors of the network of public services will be speeded up and simplified." As part of EU funding of PON - ESF will be found, finally, financial resources to implement those interventions. The protocol seems to hope to obtain greater cooperation between public and private stakeholders in the management of the placement (of course the only persons Members of the certification provision of unemployment, are the public ones), and the optimization of the information system. By virtue of this resolve to efficiency, will be fully set up of the stock market continues Nazionale del Lavoro (a network linking national information systems of the region and allows all players in the labor market, to talk)? Singular point of the third: "The active participation in the programs placement, the essential requirement of a policy of "welfare to work " (ALMP, ed), patterns can be supported by providing a "service agreement" to be concluded between the centers The use and people looking for work. " In this connection, it agree with the editorial in Job 24 ( de Il Sole 24 Ore ) of Wednesday, August 8, 2007, in which Walter Passerini said: "In a normal country must guarantee employment services public service. In Italy we call "covenant", a sign that there is still something wrong. " Alessio Maniscalco
