The Italian Incentives Decree became effective on 1 July 2010. A provision that presents a new regulatory framework for San Marino companies which have business relations with Italian firms, and which intensifies the exchange of information between San Marino and Italy. To ferry companies within this new scenario of economic cooperation, the Chamber of Commerce has undertaken a series of targeted initiatives with the aim of offering San Marino operators clear and complete information.
CONSULTANCY
To ensure companies receive information enough to cater for their needs and allow them to clear up any doubts or misunderstandings, the Chamber of Commerce has set up a free first consultancy service, provided by a professional consultant – who comes to the chamber of commerce premises every week and, by appointment, receives small and large San Marino entrepreneurs and answers their questions. A tailored service then, which has given operators the chance to clear up the position of their companies, by each time asking specific questions.
MONITORING
To boost the effectiveness of support in favour of businesses, the Chamber of Commerce has implemented a monitoring activity, by means of a questionnaire sent to a sample of 500 San Marino firms. On the one hand, to understand how they have reacted with respect to the new situation created by the Italian regulations, and on the other to know their opinion concerning a range of proposed solutions. Thanks to their answers, it will be possible to more effectively assess the consequent steps to be taken.
