The paper aims at analysing the new technological infrastructures, like 5G, necessary to fuel the new digital economy based on the Internet of Things (IoT), with the objective to give a diverse perspective to the study of such topic. In this respect, if it is undeniable that globalization and information society have an increasing positive impact on people life, it is nonetheless true that the advantages offered by such new technology come with some challenges. Under a legal and regulatory point of view, legislators and regulators are reacting slowly or not reacting at all, thereby determining legislative discriminations among citizens of the EU member States or a regulatory vacuum, in a sector characterised by its fast-moving nature. Those discrepancies among member States concern different primary goods, among which the health and the environment protection. The paper aims at identifying possible remedies to the inertia of multilevel legislator and regulator, waiting for a more comprehensive and organic regulation. In this regards, the relationship between legislative intervention and administrative action is analysed, focusing specifically on the general principle of precautionary. The principle of precautionary plays an essential role within the adoption of administrative measures (especially those restrictive) safeguarding health and environment as primary goods, and it represents a criterion to guide the public administration in the exercise of its discretionary power, on the ground of Article 1, Law No 241/90, in sectors – including Radiofrequency radiation and 5G technology – where scientific uncertainty exists. ; Il lavoro analizza le nuove infrastrutture tecnologiche, come il 5G, necessarie per alimentare la nuova economia digitale basata sull'Internet delle Cose (IoT), con l'obiettivo di fornire una diversa prospettiva allo studio del tema. A tale riguardo, se è innegabile che la globalizzazione e la information society hanno un impatto positivo crescente sulla vita delle persone, è altrettanto vero che i vantaggi offerti dalle nuove tecnologie presentano anche molteplici criticità. Sotto il profilo giuridico e regolatorio, legislatori e regolatori reagiscono lentamente o non reagiscono affatto, determinando così discriminazioni tra i cittadini degli Stati membri dell'Unione o un vuoto normativo, in un settore caratterizzato da un rapido sviluppo. Tali differenze tra Stati membri riguardano beni primari, tra cui la tutela della salute e dell'ambiente. Il contributo cerca di individuare possibili rimedi all'inerzia del legislatore e regolatore multilivello, in attesa di una disciplina più completa e organica. A tale proposito, lo scritto analizza il rapporto tra intervento legislativo e azione amministrativa, con particolare attenzione dedicata al principio di precauzione. Il principio di precauzione gioca un ruolo essenziale nell'ambito dell'adozione di provvedimenti amministrativi (specialmente quelli di natura restrittiva) per la tutela della salute e dell'ambiente come beni primari, e rappresenta un criterio per orientare la pubblica amministrazione nell'esercizio del suo potere discrezionale, sulla base dell'art. 1, legge n. 241/90, in settori – tra cui le infrastrutture tecnologiche di quinta generazione o 5G e le radiazioni di radiofrequenza – dove esiste incertezza sul piano scientifico.

This research monograph consists of 17 papers under the framework of contemporary economic and business issues which we can structure into several main research fields. These fields relate to the regulation of economic and business activities, especially in the context of digitalization processes, fiscal and monetary issues, dealing with the impact of digitalization and COVID19 pandemics on traditional academic and business debates, as well as on innovation processes in both government and the corporate sector. We can borrow the phrase from one of our papers and confirm that the papers presented show that the innovative market and digital society, as the new global development and technology paradigm of the modern world, together with its capabilities and standards, has changed the character of entrepreneurship and the state/government in terms of their new interactions. Thus, the contributions from the research monograph are made more urgent by the main objective of introspection of the traditional economic and business sectors and activities under the prism of digital transformation. The researchers were particularly interested in the impact of the COVID19 pandemic on the economic and business sectors. Although the conference was held in the midst of the pandemics, researchers were able to present valuable studies showing the extent of the threat posed by COVID 19 to the public health and economic outcomes of EU citizens. Significant pressure was placed on member state spending, particularly in countries with lower fiscal capacity, resulting in a severe temporary deterioration in the fiscal deficit and public debt. It is also noted that the crisis COVID -19 will have an uneven impact on member states and could deepen their divergence. Therefore, new and creative fiscal policies to support investment in digital transformation, green transition and innovation are of utmost importance. This monograph provides some guidance.
