Second Statute of Autonomy for South Tyrol, 1972

A "Package" of 137 measures negotiated between Austria and Italy produced a substantially expanded autonomy statute for South Tyrol.

What happened

After nine years of negotiation, in late summer 1969 the Italian and Austrian Governments agreed a "Package" of some 137 measures, most revising the 1948 Statute in South Tyrol's favour, together with an 18-stage Operational Calendar for implementation.[1] The Package led to the adoption of the Second Statute of Autonomy in 1972, granting substantially expanded self-government.[2]
