Italian Official Gazette Serie Generale No. 83 - April 10, 2026

The Official Gazette publishes two significant laws enacted by Italy on April 1, 2026. Law No. 45 ratifies and gives execution to the trilateral Gas Security Agreement among Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, signed in Berlin on March 19, 2024, establishing solidarity measures for gas supply security. Law No. 46 provides for Italy's adherence to the Montreal Protocol amending the Convention on offences committed on board aircraft. The Gazette also contains four presidential decrees dissolving municipal councils in Valvestino, Serracapriola, Valbondione, and San Martino Canavese with appointment of extraordinary commissioners, and a ministerial decree confirming the designation of the Garda DOP extra virgin olive oil consortium.

Affected parties should note that the gas agreement creates new multilateral cooperation mechanisms for energy security. The Montreal Convention amendments affect aviation operations and liability regimes. Municipal governance is directly impacted in four Italian municipalities where extraordinary administration has been imposed. The olive oil consortium receives continued regulatory recognition under Italian food protection law.
