And compared to the Netherlands, that guideline was even supposed to have
"teeth". Out of the FSFE news item [1] back then:

  "Importantly, the new rules come with a mechanism to ensure they are
  followed. Both public bodies and the interested public can ask the
  Italian Digital Agency to check if a given organisation is following
  the correct procedure. Administrative courts can annul decisions that
  contradict these rules. In case of negligence, individual public
  servants may be held personally liable."

Greetings,

Guido
