Italy will incur a penalty if it
doesn't pay its EU budget quota in a row over migrants, European
Budget Commissioner Guenther Oettinger told Die Welt Wednesday.
"All EU States have assumed the obligation of paying their
contributions within the established time," he said.
"All the rest would be a violation of the treaties which
would entail penalties".
He said "Italy has won our support in tackling the migrant
crisis and its consequences, I can only warn Rome about mixing
the migrant issue with the EU budget".
