European Commission Vice
President Jyrki Katainen said Tuesday that there would be no
exceptions to the Stability and Growth Pact when asked about the
possible budget policy of an eventual League/5-Star Movement
(M5S) government in Italy.
"The Stability Pact rules apply to all the member states and
I have no signs that the Commission will grant exceptions to
anyone," Katainen said.
"It's not just something that is up to us. In the end the
decisions on the pact are taken by the Council and I don't see
any signs that the countries want to change the rules or make
exceptions for anyone".
