EU not to decide on how Italy meets energy goals - Meloni

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 23 - Italy shares EU goals on the energy transition but does not believe it should get to decide what technologies the country should be using to reach them, Premier Giorgia Meloni said on Thursday.
    "Ours seems to me to be an absolute common sense thesis and we therefore trust that it will pass, also with regard to biofuels," added Meloni ahead of the EU summit in Brussels.
    Speaking to lawmakers ahead of the EU summit on Wednesday, the prime minister told parliament biofuels "are a challenge that Italy can take on".
    "We are at the forefront," said Meloni.
    "Net of the goals, I think the challenge facing a nation is not to destroy its production system," she added in reference to the EU's energy transition objectives. (ANSA).
