Premier Paolo Gentiloni said
after talks with French President Francois Hollande Tuesday that
"France and Italy are committed to relaunching the EU in one of
the most difficult moments after Brexit".
He said the priorities were "growth and jobs".
"There is no future for a Europe concentrated on the budget
and not on jobs," he said.
Hollande said that the March celebrations in the Italian
capital for the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of
Rome will kick off a new period for the European Union.
"With the Rome ceremony for the 60th anniversary of the
treaties we can celebrate a page of history or create a new part
of this history," Hollande said after talks with Gentiloni in
Paris.
"We want to open a new page for the future of Europe".
