Deputy Premier and
Labour and Industry Minister Luigi Di Maio said Monday that he
was not concerned about the possibility the European Commission
could open an infringement procedure over the government's
budget plan for 2019.
"I'm not worried (about an infringement procedure)," 5-Star
Movement (M5S) leader Di Maio told reporters during a visit to a
school at Pomigliano d' Arco, near Naples.
"We'll carry out reforms".
The Commission may open an infringement procedure over the
government's budget, saying the package, which sees Italy
running a deficit of 2.4% of GDP next year, could breach the
Stability and Growth Pact.
Premier Giuseppe Conte's executive has refused to make major
changes to the package, saying an expansive budget is needed to
finance key pledges and boost growth.
