We also had a deadline for entering to force of the law, which is June 7th, so we met exactly the deadline that the European Union had indicated.
The legislative process that has-- was followed started with the delegation by the parliament to the government that proposed a draft.
Then the draft was subject to consultation with the relevant third parties, which include the social partners that were consulted in February, various NGOs relevant for the matter, women's rights advocacy committees, and then a preliminary deliberation of the Council of Ministers was adopted in February.
The draft then passed through the examination of the parliamentary committee.
As you may know, in Italy we have two chambers, the Parliament and the Senate.
And at the same time, also the Data Protection Authority deliver its opinion in March.
Some of the inputs that were delivered in the process were incorporated into the final version that was then adopted and transposed.
