The Delegated Authority was foreseen with the Italian intelligence reform of 2007 promoted by the government of Romano Prodi and officially implemented on 13 August 2007.

Even Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte did not appoint a delegated authority, keeping responsibility for it in his powers for almost the entire duration of his two governments.
