We also have at our disposal opportunities for the development and dynamization of the digitization process, of debureaucratization, as requested by the reform programme included in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and also, by a series of reforms that are imposed by our path for accession to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, which, at the moment, is legitimized by the receipt of the Roadmap at the end of last week. And, in this way, it is the government's duty that, together with the entire associative environment, with the entire business sector, with the entire civil society, to ensure the fulfillment of these standards imposed at the level of this organization that ensures 90% of the global investments," the prime minister added.
