<\/strong> demonstrating the Government\u2019s willingness to respond promptly and transparently.<br data-start=\"1740\" data-end=\"1743\" \/>The additional documents address the clarifications requested on September 30 as part of the standard preventive oversight procedure for a project of this scale.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1909\" data-end=\"2100\">The goal is to <strong data-start=\"1923\" data-end=\"1987\">enable the Court to conduct a comprehensive and well-documented review<\/strong> of the updated final design, so that the process can move forward without delays toward the operational phases.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1150\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2107\" data-end=\"2167\">Minister Salvini: \u201cGreat satisfaction with the work done\u201d<\/h3>\n<p

data-end=\"2945\">According to institutional sources, the submitted package contains <strong data-start=\"2729\" data-end=\"2765\">detailed and comprehensive responses<\/strong> to the Court\u2019s requests, covering both <strong data-start=\"2811\" data-end=\"2834\">technical-design aspects<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2849\" data-end=\"2877\">legal-administrative<\/strong> elements and <strong data-start=\"2883\" data-end=\"2905\">regulatory compliance<\/strong> with EU and Italian legislation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2947\" data-end=\"3166\">This phase of dialogue with the Court of
