(ANSA) - Valletta, June 14 - Premier Giuseppe Conte said
Friday "the letter (to the European Commission on Italy's
accounts) is almost ready, we are revising it".
He said the important thing was "the contents".
Italy is seeking to avert an EU infringement procedure for
breaking the debt rule.
Rome has been given a week to produce a satisfactory
response.
Conte added: "we have no need for corrective measures".
He also said that cutting taxes was a common goal for all the
government members and not just the nationalist League party.
"It is a common goal of all the components of the government,
of all the political forces and therefore also of the premier.
"It's written in the government contract (between the League
and the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S)). We will do
all we can to pursue it.
"Obviously, while keeping the accounts in order, of course".
Conte went on: "our facts and actions are written in our
balance sheets, in the accounts ad in our revenues.
"So the facts are there".
Asked about the possibility of an infringement procedure
starting in a week's time, he said "we don't need correcytibe
budgets".
