New extension of radiometric controls.

After the postponement last April and in view of the impending deadline set for September 30th, the entry into force of the new regulations regarding radiometric controls on imported goods in Italy has been postponed again, which would extend the subjecting to controls of about "70-80% of goods" arriving.

The new extension is due to the fact that the following wording has been inserted into article 4, paragraph 3 of the just-approved "bollette" decree-law by the Council of Ministers: "In article 72, paragraph 4, first sentence, of Legislative Decree 31 July 2020, no. 101, the words '30 September 2021' are replaced by the following: 30 November 2021".

The risk of a significant increase in critical issues in controls on incoming goods to Italy is therefore averted, but only for another limited period of time, two months, while the government continues to show a lack of willingness to address the matter.

Now there are 60 days before the next extension or government action aimed at making a decision on the matter and avoiding what could be called a potential "perfect storm that would hit Italian ports and airports."
