(ANSA) - Brussels, March 5 - The European Commission called
Italy out on Wednesday for weaknesses in its public
administration, rampant tax evasion, flaws in its justice
system, and widespread corruption.
"Long-standing inefficiencies in the public administration
and the justice system, weak corporate governance, and the high
level of corruption and tax evasion (all) reduce the efficiency
of the economy and hinder the emergence of benefits of adopted
reforms," said the European Commission in its in-depth review of
the Italian economy's imbalances.
