R&S has released a survey it has made on privatisations in Italy to the Italian Chamber of Deputies. This survey has been prepared to look into Italy's competitiveness when faced with the challenges posed by the Euro and economic globalisation. It forms the first part of a larger survey commissioned from R&S, acting on behalf of Mediobanca, by the Italian Parliamentary Budget, Treasury and Planning Commission aimed at tracing the outcomes of privatisations since 1992. The survey has been published in 2001 by the Commission (see "Il sistema Paese di fronte alle sfide della moneta unica e della globalizzazione dell'economia", vol. III, Atti Parlamentari XIII Legislatura, Camera dei Deputati).
