| | Press Statement on Regulatory Reform in Italy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | Italy is among a select group of countries whose regulatory practices have been reviewed by the OECD: the United States, Japan, Mexico, Hungary, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Korea, Ireland, Greece, and the Czech Republic. |
 | | What has happened in Italy over the past several years is of historic significance: Italy's governance and market reforms are the first broad attempt in post-war years to transform the role and practices of the state. |
 | | Italy has courageously required the divestiture of some of ENEL's generation plants and access to import transmission capacity, but more restructuring will probably be necessary, accompanied by faster liberalisation of consumer choice. |
