Here is this weeks summary of the Council of Ministers, published on YouTube.

Text:
"The first important decision has been the one called "refinancing of the Afghanistan mission" but that is made up in reality of a series of measures taken to enable the Italian military serving all over the world under the auspices of the United Nations to do their duty.
Another decision relates to the liberalization of our country: we have set out a number of measures, ranging from the recharging of mobile phones to the reform of important institutions like the Bank of Italy, Consob and Isvap.
We have also approved the first steps in the reform of the so-called "Authorities": up until now too often the interested parties have been controlling themselves, it is clear that if the right hand controls the left hand and there's the same head, the right hand will always see things the same way as the left hand. Now certain organisms will be in charge of controls and others of management.
Even as regards the infrastructure measures have been taken. We have corrected the code regarding contracts with two activating decrees. This morning at the CIPE we have set out the new directive that regulates motorway conventions to give more certainty to consumers. We have made further investments to complete works like the Mestre bypass and the Asti-Cuneo.
We have also approved a series of interventions relating to schools by opening the door to private foundations.
There have been other measures, from the simplest like the liberalization of activities that favour competitiveness and the free market, thus of competition: they are measures that are of interest to the consumer as prices will go down and products and services will be improved.
They are decisions taken in a way that is shared by everyone. Only in relation to the refinancing of the missions abroad were there three stands by government groupings namely the Italian Communists, the Greens and Rifondazione Comunista who opposed but were figuratively absent. Thus we had unanimous agreement even though it was an impoverished unanimity.
They asked before doing this that in Parliament there should be greater attention given to this particular topic.
Italy is in this world and when there are international obligations we can't stop half way but we have to address them in such a way that they can serve peace and solidarity.
This is the spirit and the commitment that we took upon ourselves: we are a Government, an institution, a State that is credible because we keep the commitments we have agreed to."
