Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said Monday "the repetition of
(Italian) earthquakes shows there is some structural aspect" to
the phenomenon and therefore in the nature of spending. He said
"we are doing all we can for the earthquake, we are fully
willing," while stressing that he did not wish to speak about
further spending now. Italy is reportedly set to request more
budget flexibility for quake spending after last week's quakes
in central Italy followed bigger ones in October, and one in
August that killed nearly 300 people.
