that enables the reduction in the payment of Irap
tax on staff to a percentage that is equal to the
level of production earmarked for foreign mar-

measure which would not have a mid-term effect
on the state coffers, as it would only entail the
shifting of revenue receipts); a provision on the
model of Law 1329/65 (Sabatini Law) which
