(ANSA) - Bergamo, June 7 - Premier Giuseppe Conte should name
an EU policy minister as soon as possible, Deputy Premier Matteo
Salvini said Friday.
Speaking on the local election runoff stump, League leader
and Interior Minister Salvini a minister for EU policy "would be
important, I don't care what stripe they are, but while the new
Europe is being born, the new Commission, the new Parliament and
the new ECB, having empty the EU policy post, because Professor
(Paolo) Savona went to CONSOB, doesn't seem useful to me".
"Therefore I will ask the premier to name one as soon as
possible".
Euroskeptic economist Savona, who became European Affairs
minister after President Sergio Mattarella blocked his
nomination as economy minister, was named head of the bourse
regulator in March.
The government is set for a tough budget negotiation with the
EC after the latter said an infringement procedure for high debt
was justified.
