Ex-premier and Forza Italia
(FI) leader Silvio Berlusconi said Monday that Italy will
respect the EU's 3% deficit-to-GDP-ratio limit if the centre
right wins the March 4 general election.
"We presented our programme to the EPP (European People's
Party)," Berlusconi said after meeting EPP Secretary-General
Antonio Lopez in Brussels.
"The important thing is our desire to respect the 3% deficit
rule".
The anti-establishment 5-Star Movement's (M5S) premier
candidate Luigi Di Maio has mooted breaching the 3% limit.
The centre-right coalition FI is part of also features the
Euroskeptic League.
