Economy Minister Pier Carlo
Padoan said Thursday that Premier Paolo Gentiloni's executive
was working hard on delivering structural economic reforms.
"The government is working to accelerate on reform, both by
introducing new measures and implementing those already
adopted," Padoan said at the fringes of a meeting in Paris.
The European Commission said Wednesday that Italy risked
infringement procedures if it did not deliver an adjustment to
reduce its structural deficit by 0.2% of GDP by the end of
April.
In a report on Italy's debt, the Commission said the country
suffered excessive macroeconomic imbalances and lamented a slow
down in its pace of reform.
