Wednesday welcomed Italian Antonio Tajani's election as the new
president of the European Parliament. "It's very important for
Italy, a success," Mattarella said during a visit to Athens. "It
is a great result and it is also a way for our country to
contribute in a more incisive way to the process of European
integration". The president said he had spoke to Tajani, the
