It is not an accidental timing, the return to mandatory mediation was inevitable. The Wise of Napolitano, the Governor of the Bank of Italy, the European Commission (on the occasion of the notification of the spill from the infringement procedure), Confindustria, of course, and over 900 mediation bodies, lawyers and judges such as Santacroce and other, asked for it.

Clinical trials: patients willing to make their data available to benefit other patients.
Less concerned about privacy and much more interested in recovery from illness and solidarity with others, cancer patients in 6 countries are willing to disseminate clinical data about their illness.
