| | Committee appointed to assess the July 1993 tripartite agreement |
 | | At the beginning of September 1997, a committee was appointed by the President of the Council of Ministers to prepare a report finalising the assessment by the Government and social partners of the July 1993 tripartite central agreement, as envisaged by the agreement itself. |
 | | The third chapter met several delays and difficulties in implementation and was eventually the object of a new agreement in September 1996, the "Pact for Employment" (IT9702201F), and finally of law no. 196, passed in June 1997, which included a number of measures on labour market flexibility (including temporary agency work - IT9707308F). |
 | | In particular, the tripartite agreement states that wage increases at decentralised level should be linked to programmes, agreed upon by employers and unions, for the improvement of company productivity, quality and competitiveness, as well as to the company's economic performance. |
