Austrian Chancellor Sebastian
Kurz said Friday the European Union cannot afford to run risks
linked to Italian debt.
Arriving for an EU-Asia summit in Brussels, the EU duty chief
said "as "European Union, we are not disposed towards accepting
the risk of taking on this debt for Italy".
Kurz said "the EU is an economy and a community of values,
and it works because there are common rules everyone must adhere
to.
"If these rules are broken, and Italy moves far away from
Maastricht (budget parameters), then it means that Italy puts
itself in danger, but obviously it alos puts at risk the
others".
