After the Council of Ministers gave the green light to the bill on transparency in charity, with strict rules and sanctions also for influencers, the comment of Chiara Ferragni arrives: «I am pleased that the government wanted to quickly fill a legislative void - she declared in a note -. What happened to me made me understand how fundamental it is to regulate with clear rules the charity activities associated with commercial initiatives».

«This bill - she added - allows to fill a gap that on the one hand prevents falling into error, but on the other hand avoids the risk that from now on anyone who wants to carry out charity activities in full transparency desists for fear of being accused of committing an illicit activity».

Charity, green light in Cdm to the "Ferragni law"

Fines of up to 50,000 euros are provided for the violation of the new rules of the so-called ddl Ferragni on the transparency of the marketing of products whose proceeds go to charity. This was underlined by the Minister for Enterprises Adolfo Urso at the end of the Cdm which approved the bill of «four articles» which now goes to Parliament.

The ddl «responds to the principles of transparency that have always characterized the action of our government and ensure that the information is clear and not misleading when products whose proceeds go to solidarity initiatives are marketed», said Urso at a press conference. Among the provisions, in addition to sanctions up to «50,000 euros», also the obligation for producers «to report on the packages the information among which the amount destined for charity if predetermined», he explained.
