Fnomceo 'rejects' the professions reform bill

The Federation of Medical Orders 'rejects' the reform of the professions, approved by the Council of Ministers on Friday. And he announces that he will use "all means" to ensure that the Mastella bill is modified during the examination in Parliament. “After the last 'liberal brushstrokes', the Council of Ministers has fired a text – explains Amedeo Bianco, president of Fnomceo – in which the growth of areas of uncertainty regarding the future of our professional associations is recorded with concern and strong disappointment, putting their modernization at risk. For example, the obligation to register in the Registers for all professionals carrying out reserved activities, regardless of the employment relationship, has in fact disappeared - he continues - as a principle and entrusted to the subsequent delegation: this calls into question in one fell swoop the autonomous role of ethical, civil and social governance of the professions which belongs to the Orders and the stability of the autonomous social security institutions, which is based on the compulsory contribution for those registered in the Registers ".
Furthermore, according to Bianco, "the new Mastella text is reticent and ambiguous in drawing the boundaries between Orders and associations so much so that, in the uncertain legal profile of both, the possibility is not excluded that the latter carry out activities reserved to the former and that the Orders, due to the thus modified services market, dissolve into associations". Not only. There is a concrete risk that "the entry of capital favors the front-runners and the abusive exercise of the health professions". Fnomceo deems it “improper to attribute to the university training system the role of designing new professions 'at a table' and then guaranteeing their ope-legis inclusion in sections of the registers. These orientations - underlines Bianco - therefore seem to deny the alleged will to build in the Orders a center of modern ethical, social and civil governance of the intellectual professions. Now that the word has passed to Parliament, we will do everything we can to ensure that these and other issues find less prejudicial and less prejudicial solutions for those who want to place the Orders and professional services at the service of citizens' rights and the modernization of the country".
