    ''2) on the basis of agreements between the Presidents of the Senate and the House and the parliamentary groups of both majority and opposition, the law will be approved within a few days, and

    ''3) will take place immediately and then as quickly as consultations by the President Republic to provide a solution to the crisis of governance resulting in the resignation of Mr. Berlusconi,
