Sardinia August 7, 2009, No 3 (Urgent measures in the economic and social). 1.1 .-

the applicant that the art exhibitions. 3 of the said Decree, entitled "Provisions for

overcome the insecurity", in paragraph 1, imposes some limits on the Sardinia Region and regional public bodies

Sardinians with assumptions about the use of fixed-term contracts; down

a maximum limit to the use of these forms of collaboration (not more than 3%

total workforce), envisages the need for public procedures of selection (favoring

for only those titles), and stipulates that these assumptions do not in any way constitute a prerequisite for entry into

roles indefinitely, providing, finally, as a penalty for failure to comply

above, the invalidity of the act of recruitment and accounting responsibility for

those who have put in place.

Paragraph 2 of that Article. 3, shows the applicant, authorizes regional authorities to finance multi-annual programs

stabilization of temporary workers

local government.

In turn, paragraph 3 provides that municipalities and provinces provide for the implementation of stabilization programs

of temporary workers, except those employed under

managerial functions and those of fiduciary appointment of directors, giving priority to workers from

yards to regional funding and those already employed on fixed-term contracts, flexible nature of

, atypical, with coordinated and continuous collaboration in the field of similar

publicly funded regional activities.

Paragraph 12, last, authorizing the region and regional authorities as a framework for employees

service to a certain date for a specified period, provided only that the employment relationship has been established

a result of public competition and that the same has been extended at least once a

date of entry into force of the law.

These provisions, according to the President of the Council affect

illegally on state powers and should be declared unconstitutional.

As to Article 1, the applicant points out that Article. 3 of the Special Statute for Sardinia

contemplate, in letter a), which sphere of regional legislative authority, the 'law of

offices and administrative bodies of the Region and legal and economic status of the staff. "

These, according to the applicant, referring to the provision of organizational power,

from which would go beyond the regulation of all methods of recruitment of temporary staff

determined which relates hand, quite clearly, the civil forum. The

art. 5, letter b), gives the region the ability to adapt to its particular needs

the provisions of the laws of the Republic, issue of integration and implementation

labor, but, says the applicant, the authority must be

exercised under and in consonance with the national legislation.

According to the provisions of art. l0 constitutional law October 18, 2001, No 3 (Changes

to Title V of Part II of the Constitution), in the absence of constitutional provisions that specifically refer to

Sardinia, that should be the provisions of art.

117 of the Constitution Well, the matters covered in the first paragraph of art. 3 falls outside the jurisdiction

regional powers in the state by exactly exclusive in art. 117, second paragraph

letter l) of the Constitution (civil law). The matter, in fact, would be governed by Legislative Decree 6 September 2001

No 368 (Implementation of Directive 1999/70/EC concerning the framework agreement on

time work determined), which literally provides in Article. 10, paragraph 7, that "the

studied, even in non-uniform measure, which quantitative limits for the use of the institution of

term contract rests with the national collective agreements negotiated by labor unions

comparatively more representative ' . The regional provision described above, in contrast

with state regulations would therefore invasive exclusive jurisdiction of the state such as that provided

art. 117, second paragraph of the letter) of the Constitution and should be declared unconstitutional.

In lack of a provision in the statutes ad hoc paragraph Article 1. 3 also would run contrary

with the constitutional principles of reasonableness, equality, impartiality and efficiency

administration of Articles. 3 and 97 of the Constitution, in so far as completely unreasonable,

within the public forms of selection, emphasis, for the purposes of recruitment, selection

securities only.

1.2 .- According to the President of the Council of Ministers, including paragraph 2 of art. 3 of Law

Constitutional Court of the Italian Republic - The Case Page 2 of 11

http://www.cortecostituzionale.it/giurisprudenza/pronunce/scheda_ultimo_deposito.as ... 07/07/2010

censored would be illegal for the same considerations with reference to paragraph 1. The

on the stabilization of unstable would not be governed by the Statute of the Region of Sardinia

or subsequent rules and also to affect the civil attributed art.

117, second paragraph, letter l) of the Charter of Fundamental the exclusive legislative competence of the State

. Moreover, it would be in clear breach of Article. 17, paragraph 15 of Decree-Law

1 July 2009, n. 78 (Anti-crisis measures and extension of terms), converted into law, with modifications

, art. 1, paragraph 1, of Law August 3, 2009, No 102, which provides, as the deadline for making the last

such stabilization, the date of December 31, 2010.

also art. 3, paragraph 3, of the contested law is illegal, since the matter of stabilizing the precarious

is in no way governed by the statutes or rules Sardinia Region

later (in the presence of mere reference to the relevant competence profiles

organizational Article. 3, paragraph 1, letter a) of the Statute and the matter referred to the work of

in art. 5) and stems from, however, the civil forum, the that Article. 117, second paragraph

letter l) of the Constitution provides for the exclusive legislative competence of the state. Furthermore, this subparagraph would

in stark contrast with the various principles of State regulation of Article. 1

paragraph 519 of the Law of 7 December 2006, no 296 (Provisions for the preparation of the

annual and multi-state financial law 2007), where it refers to the procedure

stabilization 'non-managerial staff serving a fixed term of at least three years'

or for the same period has been in service over the past five years, and who has been hired

selective nature of insolvency proceedings by or provided by law, to contemplating the permanent staff

otherwise assumed the need for enforcement of similar tests. The

regional legislature, a broadening of the recipients of the Stabilisation and

reconnecting the right to a stabilization period of service less than

identified by state, would have exceeded the jurisdiction.

Unlawful, ultimately, would be the paragraph of Article 12. 3, with which it is expected

the classification of certain fixed-term employees. Here, too, lacks the coverage of

or special status of constitutional norms have arisen directly related to region

Sardinia. The only conceivable in the abstract rules which would be a reference, the art. 3, letter a) and Article. 5,

b) of the statutes cited, giving the region, as seen,

exclusive legislative competence in matters of law offices and legal and economic status of personnel, expertise or

mere integration and implementation in the field of "employment relationship": not

therefore, in terms of civil order, where it concerns the present case. The provision in question provides

for the regional staff, treated differently from the personal

insecurity of other public authorities, in contravention of the relevant state.

That provision also violates the principles of reasonableness, fairness and good

trends of public administration, and the principle of open competition, referred to in Articles

. 3, 51 and 97 of the Constitution, exceeding the statutory powers under Article. 3, letter a) and would

also intended to be declared unconstitutional.

1.3 .- The President of the Council of Ministers then holding the art. 9 of Regional Law No

Sardinia 3 of 2009 That said, as stated in the heading, "Provisions for

education, culture, entertainment and sports."

Paragraph 3 of that article provides that "The regional government in order to encourage use of

permanent staff of the school according to the order of its rankings, prepares for the year

2009-2010, a intervention program aimed at supporting the extension of school time in schools

childhood up to fifty hours a week and activation, in the public schools of all types and

degree of additional educational modules. The program has given preliminary approval by the regional council

within thirty days from the date of entry into force of this Act and sent to the Board responsible

Commission expresses its opinion within fifteen days, after which it ignores

. Within a further ten days, the Regional Government the final approval.

At its expense is coping with the availability and circumstances of the UPB S02.01.001 502.01.006.

The Regional Board shall provide compensatory changes within these UPB à

terms of regional law 11 of 2006. "

Sub-paragraph 4 provides that "Pending an organic reform legislation

regional education, the Regional Government, within their staffing

Constitutional Court of the Italian Republic - The Case Page 3 of 11

http://www.cortecostituzionale.it/giurisprudenza/pronunce/scheda_ultimo_deposito.as. .. 07/07/2010

total defined in accordance with current and subject to the conditions of hardship

linked to specific local situations, defines the procedures and criteria for the distribution of resources

of personnel between the schools. In compliance with the criteria and procedures defined by

Regional Council, the Directorate General Councillor for Education, cultural heritage,

information, entertainment and sports, provides for the distribution of staff resources between

schools. "

The provisions now found unlawfully within the jurisdiction affect the state



Article. 9 contains provisions relating to the use of permanent staff of the school and

distribution of staff resources among schools. Article. 5

gives special status to the Region, to the letter a) to adopt rules of (mere)

integration and implementation in education, in (obvious and necessary) compliance with the provisions contained in state legislation

, with the goal of adapting itself to the needs arising from the peculiar characteristics of the Region

.

The applicant states that the matter was the subject of an agreement signed on July 31

2009 by the Minister of Education and Alderman of the Sardinia Region. The

paragraph 3, which also make no reference to the Agreement, gives the region each

decision making in the planning and implementation of interventions, in contradiction with the provisions

final sentence of paragraph The Agreement (which states that "a subsequent agreement between the office

Regional Education and the Region of Sardinia will be agreed

the implementation of the plan).

It follows, with full evidence, not just a breach of statutory powers under Article

. 5, letter a), but also a blatant violation of the principle of sincere cooperation,

also constitutionally protected.

The prediction of paragraph 4, providing for the deployment of personnel to the school by

institutions of the Department for Education, may be traced in the abstract

in the field of Articles. 3 and 5 of the Statute of the Region of Sardinia does not, however, well

see into the offices, nor in the status of regional civil servants.

Concerning the subject of education, it would, according to the President of the Council of Ministers

, expertise that can not be exercised in contravention of state.

However, the contested provisions to affect the organization of the system

and respect the basic levels of performance, within the exclusive jurisdiction of the State

, since the staffing of schools are determined on the basis of legal studies

nationally defined and that the use of staff (state jurisdiction) is

contracts governed by national industry.

In determining the criteria and allocation method would not be on the other hand

made no reference to respect for state legislation on the subject, insofar as the same

are general principles, nor would be no involvement of the Office

regional school, this fact also contrary to the principle of sincere cooperation

constitutionally protected.

Therefore, the legislature regionale eccederebbe dalla competenza statutaria di cui agli artt. 3 e 5

dello statuto speciale e violerebbe l’art. 117, secondo comma, lettera m), Cost. (determinazione dei

livelli essenziali delle prestazioni delle quali è garantita l’uniformità su tutto il territorio nazionale),

nonché il principio di leale collaborazione che deve informare tutti i livelli di governo.

2.- Con atto del 24 novembre 2009 si è costituita nel giudizio di costituzionalità la Regione

autonoma della Sardegna, chiedendo che il ricorso sia dichiarato inammissibile e infondato.

2.1.- Quanto alla prima censura, riguardante la disposizione di cui all’art. 3, paragraph 1, the

Region argues that the special status attaches to the Region of Sardinia

exclusive legislative competence in matters of 'law offices and administrative bodies of the Region and

legal and economic status of staff "(art. 3, letter a) of the Statute of the Region

Sardinia). This forecast, far from being settled, as in the application, with the rapid

statement that it would be "related to organizational power, which excludes all of the

regulation of methods of recruitment of temporary staff, which relates,

however, the field order civil ', is precisely that which should be

Constitutional Court of the Italian Republic - The Case Page 4 of 11

http://www.cortecostituzionale.it/giurisprudenza/pronunce/scheda_ultimo_deposito.as ... 07/07/2010

framed the contested provision, as the limits and conditions for use of fixed-term contracts

certainly constitute organizational aspects relevant to the operation

regional offices.

Priva would also be valuable to the further allegation of violation of Articles.

3 and 97 of the Constitution for having predicted that recruitment is carried out through public forms of selection

"privilege for only those titles." According to the Region, the provision of public selections for

titles - that would still pleno jure bankruptcy forms - can not be considered

unreasonable or contrary to the principles of sound and impartial. In any case, the application does not motivate

in any way on the alleged unreasonableness of the choice, that manifests itself, on the contrary, the

entirely consistent with the objective of carrying out bankruptcy procedures shorter and leaner than those for

examinations, depending on the type of contract - fixed term - which can be accessed, but also designed to ensure

the selection of the most able candidates, for the protection of administrative efficiency.

2.2-untrue similar complaints were also addressed in relation to paragraph 2 of art. 3

of Regional Law No 3 of 2009, questioned the extent to which provides funding for programs

multi-year stabilization, while the state legislation under Article. 17, paragraph 15 of Law No

102 of 2009 provides for the deadline for making the stabilization

31 December 2010.

Even with regard to paragraph 12 of that Article. 3,

matter fully within the exclusive legislative competence of the Region Sardinia art. 3, letter a) of the Statute

special and additional complaints mentioned in the application with reference to the paragraph 12

about the alleged violation of the principles of reasonableness, impartiality and efficiency of the PA and the principle of public

competition should be considered ineligible because they do not

each illustration or argument.

In any case, they would be completely unfounded, as the paragraph in question

expressly provides that the operating staff to proceed to term only to "

provided that the employment relationship has been established as a result of

open competition in accordance with the provisions of Law No 31 of 1998. "

2.3 .- The second set of allegations contained in its application, regarding the art. 9, paragraphs 3 and 4

of Sardinia Region law, in particular with regard to paragraph 3, the supplemental jurisdiction

implementing that Article. 5 special status attaches to Sardinia on

'instruction all levels' is not the only one to be at issue in this case, given that the region of Sardinia

also enjoys, art. 10 law cost. No 3 of 2001, fees payable under Article

today. Autonomy to the regions 117 of the Constitution ordinary, as a greater extent than

statutes. It had the characteristics of concurrent jurisdiction, the corresponding amplitude in

at least that which they hold the ordinary regions.

Neither could be seen a breach of the principle of sincere cooperation in the fact of not

exactly the same as the agreement mentioned in the application and the statutory provision in question. Indeed, it is irrefutable that

agreement was reached when the law was already in the process of regional

final approval.

The Region still reported that at the time of writing, discussions are going on and work between the council

regional and the Ministry itself to achieving its change following the latest developments in legislation

(odg with the September 22, 2009 the regional council of Sardinia

committed the council to that effect, having the same MIUR expressed its readiness ).

Of the complaints relating to paragraph 4 of that Article. 9, the region would

also totally unfounded. Under Article. 10 law cost. No 3 of 2001, the responsibilities currently

payable pursuant to Art. 117 of the Constitution autonomy to the regions to a greater extent than would ordinary

statutes. Among the first should count the concurrent legislative competence in matters

of 'education' ('the autonomy of educational institutions and with the exception of

education and vocational training), which, according to the region, meet only the limit

general principles established by State law, and "general education"

exclusive jurisdiction is conferred on the state (Article 117, paragraph 2, letter n) of the Constitution).

The discipline of the distribution of staff among schools would certainly

looks extremely detailed, so do not fall into any of the constitutional responsibilities in this area. 3 .- With

lodged on 4 May 2010, the Region has further illustrated its

previous comments.

legal considerations

1. - The President of the Council of Ministers has promoted, with reference to Arts. 3, 51, 97 and

117, second subparagraph, l) m) of the Constitution, and Articles. 3:05

constitutional law February 26, 1948, No 3 (Special Statute for Sardinia) and the principle of loyal cooperation

, the question of CONSTITUTIONAL. 3, paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 12, and art. 9

paragraphs 3 and 4 of Sardinia Region law August 7, 2009, No 3 (

Urgent measures in the economic and social).

1.1. - Paragraph 1 of art. 3 of the Act lays down rules for contested regional containment

the use of fixed-term employment contracts, submitting to certain restrictions, the possibility

of Sardinia and the Sardinian regional government agencies to resort to meet their needs

, a fixed-term contracts.

In particular, it stipulates that such forms of cooperation may be used only

to meet extraordinary needs motivated, imposes a limit to the same maximum (not

more than 3% total workforce), envisages the need for public procedures of selection

(privilege for only those titles), and stipulates that these assumptions are not in any way

prerequisite for entry into permanent roles and provides for penalties for infringement of those provisions

(cancellation of orders and taking responsibility

accountant who has placed them in be).

The President of the Council of Ministers is challenging the rule in two respects.

First, concludes that it would invade the exclusive jurisdiction on state

civil order, it is not possible to bring it in art. 3, letter a) of the Statute of

Sardinia Region ("Sorting offices and administrative agencies in the region and state

legal and economic staff) or in art. 5, b) (which gives the

Region, may be adapted to its particular needs the provisions of the laws of the Republic

, issue of integration and implementation in the field of work).

Secondly, the applicant's complaint - for breach of constitutional principles

of reasonableness, equality, impartiality and good administration of Articles.

3 and 97 of the Constitution - Article. 3, paragraph 1, in so far as privileges, for recruitment, selection

securities only.

1.2. - Paragraph 2 of art. 3 authorizes the regional government to finance long-term stabilization programs

precarious workers of local governments.

Paragraph 3, in turn, contains provisions on the implementation of stabilization programs

of temporary workers referred to in paragraph 2 above. In particular, it states: "Municipalities and

the provinces to ensure implementation of the stabilization programs of temporary workers,

except for those employed under management positions and those of the fiduciary appointment

administrators, giving priority to workers from the shipyards to finance regional and

to those already employed on fixed-term contracts, flexible in nature, and with atypical

coordinated and continuous collaboration in the field of public finance similar activities in the region. These

stabilization programs are implemented by local authorities concerned, "having regard to staff

precarious by the date of entry into force of this Act, has completed at least thirty

months of service in local government, including non-continuous, with effect from 1 January 2002

.... '.

For these paragraphs, which are closely related, the applicant refers to the considerations

with reference to paragraph 1 and adds that the matter of stabilizing the precarious

would not be governed by relevant statutes or rules, and also later

to affect the civil matter assigned to art. 117, second paragraph of the letter) of the Charter of Fundamental

exclusive legislative competence of the state.

1.3. - Paragraph 12, last, authorizing the region and regional authorities as a framework for employees

service to a certain date for a specified period, provided only that the employment relationship has been established

a result of public competition and that the same has been extended at least once a

date of entry into force of the law. That provision, according to the applicant, is devoid of

Constitutional Court of the Italian Republic - The Case Page 6 of 11

http://www.cortecostituzionale.it/giurisprudenza/pronunce/scheda_ultimo_deposito.as ... 07/07/2010

coverage by special statute or constitutional status of rules have arisen

directly related to the Region of Sardinia, and recording in the field of exclusive competence

state of civil order, provide for different treatment than the permanent staff

of other public authorities, in contravention of the relevant state

applicant's complaint that standard as inconsistent with the principles of reasonableness,

impartiality and efficiency of public administration, as well as that of the public

competition under Articles. 3, 51 and 97 of the Constitution, and adds that the rule falls within the

matters of civil order, as per art. 117, paragraph of the letter) of the Constitution, exceeding

office of the jurisdiction in art. 3, letter a) of the Statute for the Region of Sardinia.

2. - The complaints related to paragraph 1 are not well founded.

must first complained that the rule will impose limits on the ability of the Region

to resort, to meet work requirements, a fixed-term contracts. In fact, however, it

authorizing the same region to enter into their contracts of employment insecurity. The intent, said

incipit, is so clearly contradicted. Nevertheless, the rule does not exceed the legislative powers

Regional.

The alleged infringement of a state legislative competence (for

in violation of the Constitution relating to civil order, or the principle of reasonableness and good performance of public administration

, access to public office by public competition) does not exist.

2.1 - And indeed, as to the alleged infringement of the exclusive legislative jurisdiction in the state

field of civil law, under art. 117, second paragraph of the letter) of the Constitution, it must be observed

that this Court has repeatedly held that, for the identification of matter where you place the

contested provision, it should be having identified the subject matter or discipline it

established on the basis of its scheme, without taking account of marginal and reflections (in this sense,

judgments No. 165 of 2007 and No. 368, 2008).

According to these criteria, the contested provision must be considered to be framed in the field

organization of regional offices, conferred by statute Sardinian

exclusive legislative jurisdiction of the Region. Article. 3, paragraph 1, indeed, limiting the ability of the Regional Government of

recourse, to meet its operational requirements, the hiring of contract workers

time determined, specifically seeks to regulate the procedures for establishment of employment contracts

with the Region. It thus explains its effectiveness at a point prior to the establishment of

employment contract and directly affects the behavior of governments

organization of its human resources and only a reflex and possibly on

subjective positions descendants of this type of flexible employment contract.

On the other hand, this Court has repeatedly affirmed the principle according to which "the

regulatory arrangements for access to the regional public employment is due to matter

administrative organization of regions and regional public authorities and is part

residual powers of the regions referred to in art. 117, fourth paragraph of the Constitution "(Case

No. 380 of 2004, No. 95 of 2008 and No. 100 of 2010).

As to the alleged unreasonableness of the preference given to the selection competition for

securities only, and the consequent alleged breach of the principle of open competition, with consequent injury

Articles. 3, 51 and 97 of the Constitution, this Court has repeatedly emphasized the absolute character

not the principle laid down in Art. 97 of the Constitution, and affirmed the legitimacy

selection of forms of more flexible, provided it meets the need to ensure equal access and adequate

level of competence. For fixed-term contracts, it has always stressed the diversity of

situation between these forms of contract, in which the temporary nature of office

can justify exceptions to the principle of open competition, compared to those with permanent contracts (see

judgments No. 252 and No. 293 of 2009). Therefore it can be concluded that the inclusion of a selective method

bankruptcy leaner, instead of that, more assured, based on qualifications and examinations, is justified

the temporary nature of the organizational requirements to be fulfilled and the consequent need for

faster in the performance of selections. The rule thus also in this respect, it is

reasonable and respectful of the principles affirmed by this court.

3. - Are based on questions of constitutionality under paragraphs 2, 3 and 12 of Article. 3.

3.1 - Paragraph 2 authorizes the region to fund stabilization programs, regardless

of the completion of competitions. Paragraph 3 provides that municipalities and provinces

provide for the Constitutional Court of the Italian Republic - The Case Page 7 of 11

http://www.cortecostituzionale.it/giurisprudenza/pronunce/scheda_ultimo_deposito.as ... 07/07/2010

implementation of stabilization programs of temporary workers and leaving implementation

local authorities, the criteria for the selection of personnel.

In essence, the two rules above allow to happen in an indiscriminate way the

stable placement of workers in the roles of government sardines, without affecting

these assumptions if they pass the test of any kind of selective public by

concerned. Thus, they are put in sharp contrast to the art. 97 of the Constitution, which requires the assistance

what mode of recruitment of public administrations and allows exceptions to this principle

only if it fulfills special needs and is adequately ensured

professionalism of the Chosen.

3.2-MUST BE REACHED similar conclusions with regard to matters concerning the

paragraph 12, which authorizes the State and regional authorities as a framework for employees in service to a certain date

with fixed-term contract, provided only that the employment relationship has been established

a result of public competition and that the same has been extended at least once a

date of entry into force of law.

Even this rule, indeed, violates the principle of open competition, under Articles. 51 and 97 of the Constitution

The fact that the staff likely to be stabilized without any evidence is selective

at the time was taken with a fixed term contract on the basis of a public competition

due to the diversity of skills required hiring out to those in

indefinitely, does not offer adequate security or the existence of professional

stable framework required for its roles in the regional public authorities, nor the nature of the procedures need to be open

selective.

This Court, moreover, has already ruled that "the activities have served time

determined at the regional dependencies can not be considered if the former, and

absence of any special and extraordinary reasons, a valid basis for a reserve of

places' (Judgement No. 205 of 2006), and that "following successful completion of any" selection

public "at any" public entity "requirement is too general authorize a

subsequent stabilization without competition, because the rule does not guarantee that the prior selection

nature of competition and he was referring to the type and level of functions that personnel subsequently stabilized

has to play '(Case No. 293 of 2009).

4. - The President of the Council of Ministers appeals also art. 9, paragraphs 3 and 4 of Law No

Sardinia Region 3 of 2009.

Article. 9, paragraph 3, regulates a program of action to extend the time in school

preschools and activate additional educational modules.

Sub-paragraph 4 relies on the Regional Council that arrangements and criteria for

distribution of staff resources among schools

Both rules affect illegally, according to the State Attorney,

in areas reserved for state jurisdiction, the exorbitant powers provided by the special status and

violate the principle of loyal cooperation.

5. - In the first case, the President of the Council notes that Article. 9, paragraph 3, of the law cited

Sardinia Region, by providing that the regional government in order to use the

permanent staff of the school according to the order of its rankings, prepare for the year

2009 - 2010, a program of actions aimed at facilitating the extension of school time in schools

childhood up to fifty hours a week and activation, in the public schools of all types and

degree of additional educational modules, would be contrary to Article. 5 of the regional statutes, the

which, in point a), gives the Sardinia Region to adopt rules of mere

integration and implementation in education, in accordance with the provisions of the

state legislation, in a narrow perspective of adapting itself to the needs arising

of distinctive characteristics of the Region

The contested provision infringes Moreover, the principle of sincere cooperation, as well

constitutionally protected, forgetting that the matter was already a signed agreement

on July 31, 2009 by the Minister of Education, University and Research and the Councillor

of Education of the Sardinia region. In particular, the appellant challenges the norm for regional

not have made any reference to that agreement, giving the region every

decision making in the planning and implementation of action, in defiance of

Constitutional Court of the Italian Republic - The Page 8 of 11 Case

http://www.cortecostituzionale.it/giurisprudenza/pronunce/scheda_ultimo_deposito.as ... 07/07/2010

provision in last sentence of paragraph I of the Agreement, which states: "

a subsequent agreement between the Regional Education Office and the Region of Sardinia will be agreed on the modalities of implementation of

plan '.

5.1. - The matter commenced with reference art. 5, letter a) of the Statute of the Region

Sardinia, is unfounded.

The constitutional principle invoked is incorrect. Following the reform of Title V of Part II of the Constitution

, the ordinary statute regions have, in the field of education, a legislative competence

competitor, and not merely supplementary-implementation. As a result of the principle set out in

law No. 3 of the 2001 constitutional reform, the provisions laid down by art. 117

Constitution, outlining the wider spaces of regional autonomy, in fact take precedence over statutory provisions.

The identification of the parameter by the Chairman of the Council is not, therefore, relevant,

because the rule that is relevant to the jurisdiction of the State in education is now

art. 117, third paragraph of the Constitution, and not art. 5, letter a), the special status.

5.2. - The issue is not even based in reference to the principle of loyal cooperation.

The contested provision involves, in effect, skills and government bodies, namely the personal

precarious school, drawn by its recipient lists and recruitment completed for

the extension of school time, and the activation of modules Educational supplements (the latter

in public schools of all levels). In this context, the agreement signed in

31 July 2009 by the Minister for Education, Universities and Research and the Councillor of Education

Sardinia Region postpone to a later Understanding of the Region with the regional school office

the modalities of implementation of the plan.

The contested provision is respectful of the principle of sincere cooperation, because, according to

as established through the agreement with the competent minister on July 31, 2009,

demand, albeit implicitly, the phase of confrontation with State authority to the device

time of actual implementation of planned measures. The use, in fact, resources and

central apparatus, and the involvement of national institutions and resources, can not be done without materially

the agreement with the Regional Education Office.

6. - The plaintiff's complaint also art. 9, paragraph 4, of Sardinia Region law No.

3 of 2009, conferring on the Government to define, given the difficult conditions

linked to specific local situations, the methods and criteria for distributing resources

staff between the schools and the delegates' Regional Department for Education

to implement these criteria through a more rational distribution of resources among schools.

According to the President of the Council of Ministers of the rule would violate the jurisdiction

education under Articles. 3 and 5 of the Statute of Sardinia would be harmed also

sorting and organization of the system of exclusive state competence, and art. 117,

paragraph letter m) of the Constitution, namely the determination of essential levels of services to ensure

with uniformity throughout the country, given that the staffing of schools are

determined on the basis of the laws of studies defined at the national level and that the use of

staff (state jurisdiction) is governed by the national sector contracts, and finally, would have been

ignored the general principles of State regulation in the field of education, having been

omitted any reference to this effect in determining the criteria and procedures for

staffing, and the principle of sincere cooperation between all levels of government,

have not been provided any involvement of the Regional School.

6.1. - The question brought, with reference to Arts. 3 and 5 of the Statute of the Region

Sardinia, is unfounded.

The constitutional principle invoked is incongruous, given that Article. 117 of the Constitution, under Article.

3 of the Constitutional Law No 3 of 2001, has included education among the subjects of legislation

competitor and thus to the region an area of \u200b\u200bgreater autonomy than

bylaws. The identification of the parameter by the Chairman of the Council of Ministers

not, therefore, is relevant since it must now have regard for the competence of the Region in

education, art. 117, third paragraph of the Constitution, rather than articles. 3 and 5 of the Statute of

Sardinia.

6.2. - In reference to the exclusive competence of the State in terms of sorting and

organization of education and art. 117, second paragraph, letter m) of the Constitution, the levels

essential performance, the question is unfounded.

This Court has already clarified that the task of distribution of teaching staff between the autonomous schools

vested in the Regions (Case No. 13 of 2004). It has repeatedly reiterated the need

intervention of the regional legislature to regulate "conditions related to

ratings involving specific local situations in the region, in socio-economic

. He acknowledged that the scope of regional relevance is the field of school planning

regions, both on the size of the network of

schools, which is intimately related to the allocation of resources correlative

staff (Case No 200, 2009). On the other hand, the same rule to limit regional

express its action "within the overall staffing

defined based on current regulations." The will of the Region is for the state to comply, for

regard to staffing determined at national level, it is therefore clear from the wording of the provision itself

.

Nor is it relevant in this case the reference to the fixing of minimum levels of performance, because "

definition of the organizational and service managers' (Case No 200 of 2009, which also relies

Judgement No 120 of 2005) remains entirely foreign to the said parameter.

6.3. - The question is unfounded, finally, even with regard to compliance

state in education and the principle of fair collaboration.

First, because they were not even given the general principles, derived from

State legislation, which would have been violated.

Secondly, that when the region covered by the law matter, there is no safeguard from

'need for continuity of the education service "that

still justify the intervention of the Regional School .

Finally, the distribution of personnel within the schools on the basis of policy choices and management

that detect only within the region and be considered

belonging to the territorial legislative jurisdiction.
