Premier Paolo Gentiloni said
Tuesday that his cabinet had approved a new economic and
financial blueprint, the DEF, as well as a budget adjustment
demanded by the European Union.
"The government has given the green light to the DEF and to a
decree containing various interventions for growth and
development, including the budget correction," he said.
The European Commission had told Italy to cut its structural
deficit by an additional 0.2% of GDP by the end of April to
avert infringement procedures.
