Cabinet Secretary Claudio De
Vincenti on Thursday welcomed the mooted idea of the European
Union funding the reconstruction effort after the recent string
of devastating earthquakes in central Italy, including one in
August that claimed almost 300 lives. "I think that the signal
coming from the EU is positive and shows sensibility," De
Vincenti told an ANSA Forum. "We'll evaluate these proposals. We
have already requested (to use) the European solidarity fund and
we have already set aside resources in the (2017) budget".
