CONTENTS
October 31, 2015, will mark the end of EXPO Milano 2015 experience, and
as well as taking stock of the major event and its immediate outcomes and
results, it will be necessary to work on consolidating and disseminating its
“legacies”.
In a complex context, the strong commitment by the Italian government, the
new smart regulation in the fields of transparency and anti-corruption,
collaboration from all the institutional players involved in EXPO, the checks
carried out by the Italian National Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC) also
thanks to the contribution, as part of a specific Memorandum of
Understanding, of the OECD’s methodological experience, allowed the major
event to be opened on schedule and with the respect for the integrity of
tendering procedures and works, in accordance with the highest possible
standards and leading international best practices.
Within the framework of this Memorandum, it is intended to organize a
meeting with the aim of building on the experience gained from EXPO 2015
and presenting it as a model for the actors involved in producing large
infrastructures and events with a fixed opening date.
The meeting will also be an occasion to present “High Level Principles” for
integrity, transparency and effective control of major events and related
infrastructures that will constitute a further legacy of the EXPO experience by
outlining a general model of institutional synergies and integrated checks of a
“collaborative” type to prevent and fight the occurrence of illegality, and
guarantee that works are completed on schedule. The Principles will be open
to subsequent accession, development and integration by stakeholders from
the international community.
