The Directive was therefore incorporated into Italian law through Legislative Decree No. 2012, enacted into Law No. 27 of March 20, 2012, which at Article 71, in addition to setting up the Supervisory Authority, established the means for the setting of airport fees on the basis of “consultation” among the parties; the Decree however did not limit the obligatory consultation procedure only to airports with annual traffic of greater than 5 million passengers.
