The first go-ahead for blockchain technology regulation in Italy, and smart contracts amendments to the Simplification Decree, finally happened on January 24. The proclamation was officially released in the Senate & the Italian Parliament on Wednesday, according to the Italian newspaper Sole24ore.
According to Fulvio Sarzana, a blockchain expert chosen by MiSE, this effort is aimed at:
“The possibility of giving legal value to a transaction that uses an electronic and blockchain, without the need of notaries or central certification bodies.”
“The regulation on smart contracts, on the other hand, gives a contract that is automatically executed by a computer program the legal value of a normal, written and signed contract,” Fulvio added.
The lawmakers legislated on the amendment to the decree which was officially approved on January 23, 2019, by the Constitutional Affairs & Public Works Commissions of the Senate, and Stefano Patuanelli was the first signatory of the Movimento 5 Stelle (M5S), an Italian political movement.
