ROME (Reuters) – Italy’s Senate on Tuesday passed Prime Minister Matteo Renzi’s plan to simplify and reduce the cost of the country’s public sector notorious for its inefficiency and corruption.

The Italian bureaucracy is among the least efficient of those ranked by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and Italians often spend hours standing in line to resolve even the simplest administrative tasks.
