However, the provision shows critical issues for the distribution chain and can jeopardize the validity of existing commercial agreements.
On 24 February 2020, the Minister for Youth Policy and Sport On.

The scope of this new Decree is to address the need to specifically establish the regulatory provisions relating to the recognition of professional qualifications obtained by sports agents in other EU and non-EU Member States, harmonizing and facilitating the recognition procedure, in order to allow these subjects to carry out their activities also in Italy.
In recent years, the role of sports agents has become increasingly important in the sporting sector, especially in football. It has therefore become more necessary and increasingly required a clear regulation of the activity of these professionals. What rules have been introduced into our system?

The decision of the Court of Milan as of 10 October 2019 stated that no judicial proceeding against the directors can start or progress if the legal action has been enforced by a quota-holder who has waived to subscribe the capital increase approved by the quota-holders’ meeting pursuant to Article 2482 ter, paragraph 1, of the Italian Civil Code, since this results in the loss of the status of quota-holder of the company and, therefore, in the loss of the right to carry out legal actions against the directors in lieu of the company as its judicial substitute.

During the last plenary session held on April 7, 2020, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) entrusted its expert committees with the task of identifying and developing the relevant principles regarding the processing of personal data in the context of the containment of the COVID-19 virus through the approval of two specific mandates, concerning respectively the tracking and geolocation tools and the processing of health data for research purposes.
Coronavirus emergency implies the adoption of restrictive measures which tackle fundamental rights including, first of all, the freedom to move bringing forth, as a consequence, the social distancing: in this context, not prejudicing the essential child’s health protection, there arises the problem of reconciling the existing actual limitations with the maintenance of a serious and constant relationship among divorced parent and the child entrusted mainly to the other parent.
In the midst of the emergency linked to the spread of the COVID-19 virus (known to most as “coronavirus”), the search for possible solutions for the containment of the pandemic has now taken on a supranational dimension, recording the first contributions from European institutions. The possibility of monitoring population movements through the analysis of data collected by mobile communication devices, in order to verify the effectiveness of the restrictive measures imposed and the identification of connections between movement trends and contagions, is undoubtedly one of the options on the table. The European Data Protection Supervisor (“EDPS”), consulted by the European Commission, has therefore identified some elements to be taken into account in the implementation of such solutions.
