Maneuver, Padoan: “we will Respond in time to the Eu”. Moscovici: “the Costs of the earthquake out from the negotiation” – The Republic

The minister Padoan (ap) MILAN – The commitments Italy on the corrective action to be 3.4 billion (0.2 percentage points of Gdp) comes from Europe two weeks ago, “will come in time”, i.e. by the beginning of February: the guaranteed, the minister of the Economy, the Pier Carlo Padoan, when the Eurogroup takes place in Brussels. A meeting comes to a close away from the message that, as reconstructed by the Republic at the newsstand, premier Paul Customers sent to president Juncker, emphasizing how the new seismic events have probably compounded the account, bringing it above the one billion euro mark as early as 2017. A lever, that of the extraordinary expenditure for the earthquake, which therefore tries to activate them to get a discount on the request for a correction.

But on this point the commissioner for economic Affairs, Pierre Moscovici, seems to close: the european Commission “has already shown that it is on the side of Italy and it always will be”, but the new expenses for the new earthquakes “do not enter into the discussion in progress”, because the Commission is “ready to examine them,” but it is “another thing that we expect in response to the letter. “Italy is the Country that has most benefited from the flexibility, he had for investments, reforms, refugees, and earthquake,” said Moscovici, who a few days ago spoke of the costs of the earthquake, such as expenditures in part “structural”. “I have not done that repeat, in a different context, the same things (opinion of November is on Sunday, ed) in front of a new disaster and the avalanche,” he explained. “It is clear that the costs for the earthquake that we have already in tegrated in the discussion with the Italy there are items that are one-off and structural elements, for example, where you need to improve the prevention, the consolidation, to fix the damages of the earthquake that hit Italy often. But, this is nothing new,” he concluded.

The new negotiations on public accounts call into question the balance of the budget of the Financial signed by Renzi. A document that puts the deficit at 2.4% of Gdp, 0.2 points above the level that had been agreed on with the same Juncker in September. A level that already contains a degree of flexibility 7 billion that takes into account the costs for migrants and earthquake. The new tragic events have affected the president of the Commission, and Moscovici, which, however, has stated to expect a “precise answers in due time” and had had “a good deal” last week with the minister Padan. “Together with the vice-president Valdis Dombrovskis, we have written a letter very precise and therefore we expect a letter with the accurate answers,” said the commissioner for economic Affairs, arriving at the Eurogroup. “We are in a process of dialogue, I saw and Began to Davos, and we have the ancestral home trade positive. The letter and the digit n umbers are there and I hope I explained Moscovici – that answers arrive within the time due, and with the common desire to arrive at a solution. Do not be alarmed – he concluded – we will find a solution with Italy.

Padoan has also taken advantage of the visit to europe to meet with the commissioner of Competition, Vestager: the summit “went well, we exchanged information about what is going on, it was a meeting of ‘the routine’ and there will be others because collaboration will become closer and more fruitful,” he said. Among the things discussed, of course, the case with the Mps.
