The 3% budget deficit to GDP
limit is a joint EU rule that "makes sense", European Economic
Affairs Commissioner Pierre Moscovici said in commenting League
leader Matteo Salvini's declared intention of ignoring it if he
gets into power.
"I'll let political leaders express their opinions but the 3%
rule is a joint rule, I think it is a commonsense rule that
enables the public debt to be reduced," Moscovici said.
Salvini said Tuesday the Euroskeptic League may flout the
rule in order to try to boost the Italian economy and pay for
its flat-tax pledge.
