EC must not be shortsighted says Gozi

(ANSA) - Rome, January 19 - Undersecretary for European Affairs Sandro Gozi said Tuesday that the European Commission led by Jean-Claude Juncker "rightly wants to have a political profile, and that means not having a short-sighted and rigid approach in the application of the rules". He said that Italy's criticism of the EC was "always constructive", aimed at "Europe proceeding more quickly towards a new beginning". According to Gozi, "Italy is posing issues that concern the need for change consistent with what all the governments have evoked".
